Castle Made Of Sand (Feat. Kelly Rowland & Jamie Drastik)

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 sacrificed my life to give you my life through speakers
Try to do good even though I been crossed like Jesus
God knows I got a good heart
But my blood's filled with demons
I'm fighting myself, believe me
I'm far from ignorant, far from greedy
If you knew what I come from, knew what I been through
You'd think there should've 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 in the sand

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
Reach for my hand

I live my whole life with the world on my shoulders
So I can care less what this music game throws us
I see them looking for the keys but they won't find it
I come from struggle, I'm a fighter, I should be reminded
My mother's past has a trap, has it 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 you
And no matter what happens
Just know you the reason that I'm rappin'

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
Reach for my hand

Look, 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 hustling 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 know you'll never fail"
So put me on the beach with a bucket and a pail

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
Reach for my hand
