[Intro]
Woah

[Verse 1]
Rise and grind, let’s get this cake
I been on go ever since pops told me I ain’t s*it 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 bounce back too many times from 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
For my family tree full of back breakers, blue collar workers ain’t half steppers
My roots is full of hard workers praying for the day coming we can stack paper
Generations never thought I could flip trauma into entertainment
Whole culture full of nonbelievers make it harder to think that I’ll ever make it
I do this s*it for my sisters
Who busting ass for a minute?
Who had to deal with a father’s wrath trying to 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 s*it 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 backed 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

[Chorus]
Outcast, we get wild

Black sheep, out of 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, out of 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

[Verse 2]
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 out loud, 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

[Chorus]
Outcast, we get wild
Black sheep, out of 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
