[Pitbull, Jamie Drastik, Kelly Rowland - Castle Made of Sand lyrics]
So you tried to believe in
The castle made of sand
When it falls to the sea
And your feet can't find dry land
Reach for my hand
I'd sacrifice my life to give
You my life through speakers
I try to do good
Even though I've been crossed like Jesus
God knows I got a good heart
But my blood's filled with
Demons, I'm fighting myself, hah
Believe me, I'm far from lingering
Far from ready
If you knew where I come from
Knew what I've been through
You'd think there should have
Been another outcome
Just like most kids, a father
I did it without one
Come from the city where they'll
X you like Malcolm then you wonder how come
I can move in a room full of wolves so swift
So smooth
Thank you, Mom, for making me a man
Let a motherfucker knock down my
Castle out of sand
So you tried to believe
(To believe) in the castle made of sand
When it falls to the sea
And your feet can't find dry land
Reach for my hand reach for my hand
(Woo) i lived my whole life with
The world on my shoulders
So I couldn't care less what
This music game throws us
I see them looking for the keys
But they won't find 'em
I come from struggle, I'm a fighter
Must she be reminded?
My mother's past has her trapped
Has her blinded
But I took her past, I took her pain
I made it strength, I fought the game
Do or die, Pitbull's the name
Now all I see is the future
Mom, I love you, I salute ya
And no matter what happens
Just know you're the reason that I'm rappin'
So you tried to believe
(To believe) in the castle made of sand
When it falls to the sea
And your feet can't find dry land
Reach for my hand reach for my hand
Look i'm from the home of
The spinners, the winners, the Big Apple
Came down at South Beach to
Build a new castle
Every day I'm hustelin' and
Every day you hassle
Doin' what you can and I'm
Doin' what I have to
Throw me in the jungle and I'ma
Show you I'm a winna
I'm coming out with dinner
And wearing a chinchilla
I did it for my town to
Show em' the big picture
Pit, hit the switch
I promise I'll never switch up
This is for my brother, two
Three who went to jail
I'm sending all the pictures of
My shows through the mail
He hit me with a letter, said
"I knew you'd never fail"
So put me on the beach with
A bucket and a pail
So you tried to believe
(To believe) in the castle made of sand
When it falls to the sea
And your feet can't find dry land
Reach for my hand reach for my hand
The castle made of sand
When it falls to the sea
And your feet can't find dry land
Reach for my hand
I'd sacrifice my life to give
You my life through speakers
I try to do good
Even though I've been crossed like Jesus
God knows I got a good heart
But my blood's filled with
Demons, I'm fighting myself, hah
Believe me, I'm far from lingering
Far from ready
