Verse 1

14, yeah I started from the bottom

Now I'm 19, five year journey yeah I jot em'

Look, I'm flourishing, you can hear it on my records

Homies like... Chris u really dedicated

Your work ethic is unparalleled

Yeah they know cause I'm all about this

Rap music that's why I'm making songs like this

I'm a student of the arts, wanna live like this

In a drop top, can I hip hop like this ?

Yeah I started from the bottom, look now I'm climbing

We don't want Nissans and Hondas for our daily drivers

That's not a good indicator for our slick rhyming

And I'm all about the S Class, AG Daimler

Look, I'm 19 but my mind is

Old like prodigy yeah I'll keep rhyming

I won't fold under pressure, my ascendance you can't measure it

You can only witness it, for real I'm in this business

Hook

Youthful exuberance

You can feel it, see my eloquence be luminous

Darkness reigns in this city but I'm cool cause my star be shining, ever bright

I was young when I started, Look now I'm climbing

I was destined for this life, Yeah I'm a diamond

And this is the beginning, I've done so much and in this new season I'll keep winning

And anyone who try to bring me down will take a hit

Verse 2

Devil in disguises, Better get behind us

Cause we slick rhymers

We want vettes’, not pathfinders

Yeah, ride with the stick, yeah we mic handlers

We don't hang with no fakes cause we bona fide

If they ain't no red tape then you colorblind

Keep that gimmick far away from me you hollow minds

Want the Hellcat and the Cobra

Yeah I'm drunk of the bars but I look sober

Yeah money's not the number one priority

I'm tryna do performances that'll make you wanna marvel at me

As a teen I've seen old heads call us dumb

Yeah they quick to call us stupid

Now tell us what you think about this youngin and his music

Bet you'll label me confused

I'm illuminant, I see me as the illest of the new Gen

Refrain

Youthful exuberance

This should make old heads feel like a youth again

Darkness reigns in this city but I'm fine

Cause I'm that guy

I'm the illest and I know that I'm the realest

Cause i know me and I know that you gon’ feel it cause you know that I am hungry

Everyday my stomach rumbling for something bigger than I ever had before

What you know bout making beats ?

What you know bout writing songs ?

You should know that it ain’t easy no

Hook

Youthful exuberance

You can feel it, see my eloquence be luminous

Darkness reigns in this city but I'm cool cause my star be shining, ever bright

I was young when i started, Look now I'm climbing

I was destined for this life, Yeah I'm a diamond

And this is the beginning, I've done so much and in this new season I'll keep winning

And anyone who try to bring me down will take a hit

Youthful exuberance

You can feel it, see my eloquence be luminous

Darkness reigns in this city but I'm cool cause my star be shining, ever bright

I was young when I started, Look now I'm climbing

I was destined for this life, Yeah I'm a diamond

And this is the beginning, I've done so much and in this new season I'll keep winning

And anyone who try to bring me down will take a hit
