"Poster Child" lyrics
Whoa
Rise and grind, let's get this cake
I been on go ever since pops told me I ain't shit unless I get paid
They ask if my fam proud of me, said, "They just think I'm okay"
Why you think my expectations high? I was born, bred this way
I'm the poster child of the failures, why you think that I'm fearless?
I bounced back too many times, my mistakes can't scare us
They ask if I'm embarrassed, I tell 'em how, when the price of winning
Is a couple minutes, I'll spare it, for this dream of mine I cherish
From a family tree full of back-breakers, blue-collar workers, they ain't have [?]
My roots is full of hard workers praying for the day come when we can stack paper
Generations never thought I could flip trauma into entertainment
Whole culture full of nonbelievers make it hard to think that I'll ever make it
I do this shit for my sisters who busting ass for a minute
Who had to deal with her father's wrath, tryna carve a path to riches
While still finding forgiveness, childhood, never lived it
Had to get wild good just to get it, get back up when they hit us
I do this shit for my brothers, the ones who ain't by blood
Tell 'em don't keep their heads tucked, this bread we split gon' be our come up
Never back down, in some months (Uh-huh), one day it will come (Uh-huh)
Through rain clouds and gusts (Uh-huh), when we'll see the sun
I'm like outcast, we get wild, black sheep, outta style
Pray for me, call me out, picture-perfect poster child
Yeah, poster child, uh, I'm the poster child
Uh, I'm the, uh, I'm the, uh, I'm the poster child
Outcast, we get wild, black sheep, outta style
Pray for me, call me out, picture-perfect poster child
Yeah, poster child, uh, I'm the poster child
Uh, I'm the, uh, I'm the, uh, I'm the poster child
When the stars out, they quiet down, I feel like I'm alive
Falling down through the clouds, I take a dive
If I'm all out, then tell me, where else can I hide?
When I'm down, when I'm down, when I'm down
After it's all over, don't wanna see ya
And I don't want no closure, don't wanna be ya
The problem child, they don't believe us
The poster child, they calling me
Outcast, we get wild, black sheep, outta style
Pray for me, call me out, picture-perfect poster child
Yeah, poster child, uh, I'm the poster child
Uh, I'm the, uh, I'm the, uh, I'm the poster child
Rise and grind, let's get this cake
I been on go ever since pops told me I ain't shit unless I get paid
They ask if my fam proud of me, said, "They just think I'm okay"
Why you think my expectations high? I was born, bred this way
I'm the poster child of the failures, why you think that I'm fearless?
I bounced back too many times, my mistakes can't scare us
They ask if I'm embarrassed, I tell 'em how, when the price of winning
Is a couple minutes, I'll spare it, for this dream of mine I cherish

Uh, I'm the, uh, I'm the, uh, I'm the poster child
