Castle Made of Sand

Lyrics

[Chorus: Kelly Rowland] 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 [Verse 1: Pitbull] 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, woo [Chorus: Kelly Rowland & Pitbull] 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) [Verse 2: Pitbull] I lived my whole life with the world on my shoulders So I couldn't care less what this music game throws us (Yeah) 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? (Uh) My mother's past has her trapped, has her blinded But I took her past (Yeah), I took her pain (Yeah) I made it strength (Yeah), I fought the game, do or die (Yeah) 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', woo [Chorus: Kelly Rowland & Jamie Drastik] 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) [Verse 3: Jamie Drastik] I'm from the home of the spitters, the winners, The Big Apple Came down to South Beach to build a new castle Every day I'm hustlin' and every day you hassle Doin' what you can and I'm doin' what I have to Throw me in the jungle and I'll show you I'm a winner 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 to never switch up This is for my brother, took three and 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 [Chorus: Kelly Rowland] 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
