about

On their third single, Pennies to the Penthouse, T.Lucas & Substantial celebrate working your way up from the soil to success. T.'s breezy flow glides effortlessly over Sub's funk-driven, soulful guitar chops and pounding drums.

“Pennies” represent, not only the struggle but basketball player, Anthony “Penny” Hardaway's shoe, the Air Foamposite which were popular in the DMV area. The "Penthouse" represents wealth and achievements. We all are striving to make it from “Pennies to the Penthouse".

lyrics

V1 (T.Lucas)
Breakfast in bed a couple text i ain’t read
I’m on a money making mission getting next to this bread
Just like the jelly, whether summer when it’s sweaty, winter coat up
In a skully I’ll be there right when my homies call me just like Makavelli
Ayeee.....top notch on the front page blunts blazin
Feeling like a joint Jay bout to roc-a-nation
Hit me up on the phone, what’s the conversation?
...young nigga get paid
I’m dipping and flipping it while I’m switching positioning
I keep it tuned up and super tight like michelin
He can’t go this long he ain’t got the conditioning
You talkin way too much why don’t you shut up and listen in
Danger danger, from New York down to Decatur
This is major player, she pop and lock it stop and drop it like a hot potato
The lights is flashing bells is whistling like slots in Vegas
Hop up in this ‘copter we can chop it later uhhh

HOOK (Substantial)
5 stars, enjoy your stay
Black man get your bag, now we got it made
King Shit, live up today
Akeem need a Queen I ain’t come to play
5 stars, enjoy your stay
Black man get your bag, now we got it made
King Shit, live it up today
We done came along way fam I gotta say

V2 (T.Lucas)
Head is spinning from waves in 17 different ways
I’m thinking about a plan this shits very sophisticated
See we outta the hood I’m glad that a night made it.
...take the end of the blunt and finally incinerate it
I’m gone till November this shit be hard to remember
I’m eatin sushi for breakfast used to be ramen for dinner
I’m actin bougi on ex’s can’t even call me whenever
Now it’s penthouse suites, stay is the longer the better ayeee
It’s cool, great view, bathroom royal blue,
Penthouse, she nice, get right, fall through
It’s a party any day anytime that you want to
We stepping in the name of love I’m just doing my 1,2’s
And 3,4’s we balling just like D.Rose
We keep it our little secret, just as long as she knows
Made it to a hero, all the way from zero
Just keep the towel below, to cover up the weed smoke, here we go
