Double Entendre - TROUBLED KID

(I was just a troubled kid without a real purpose
When I get under the surface...)
My heart beating way too fast, think it's exploding
I was just a troubled kid, wanting big moments
I was squinting at the sun with the wind blowing
Everything's changed, oh my God I didn't notice
I have so much of
I used to feel like nothing was enough
And I found so much love
Now it doesn't feel like a performance
I'm gonna go nuts
Funny how it goes, I'm doing donuts, and got my zeros up
They said I couldn't take the heat, but they the ones who froze up
I was just a troubled kid without a real focus
I've always had a purpose, didn't know what
Now pour up
I'm still just a troubled kid, without a real purpose
But I got a motive
I go out at night, where the show is (Show biz)
I'm too focused to put value in the surface
Live at night, don't need the curtains
Self-serving, I'll die in the service
No detriment, but I am determined
Changing my reality, before I was a hurt kid
Then I did some work, now I'm a whole different person
Hundred million beats per second, my heart might be bursting
I'm not who we thought I was, needed a bottle, 'cause it was bottled up
I thought I had nothing to offer—my water on aqueduct
Before didn't wanna bother ya, now I'll prolly startle ya
No purpose, always had a motive
They can't throw shade, this is limo tint
I can float the boat and rock it, maybe that's my purpose
I don't know for certain, all I know's I do it on purpose
My heart beating way too fast, but I can't stop now
Shoot for the moon, I gotta make it for all the times they shot me down
I'ma pop up in their bubbles just to make my pops proud
We have less in common now, but you still set 'em up I'll knock 'em down
My heart beating way too fast, think it's exploding
I was just a troubled kid, wanting big moments
I was squinting at the sun with the wind blowing
Everything's changed, oh my God I didn't notice
I have so much of
I used to feel like nothing was enough
I found so much love
Now it doesn't feel like a performance
I'm gonna go nuts
Funny how it goes, I'm doing donuts, and got my zeros up
They said I couldn't take the heat, but they the ones who froze up
I was just a troubled kid without a real focus
I've always had a purpose, didn't know what
