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 been crossed like Jesus

God knows I got a good heart

But my blood's filled with demons

I'm fightin' 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 shoulda been another outcome

Just like most kids, the 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 makin' me a man

Let a mother*** 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 lived my whole life with the world on my shoulders

So I can care less what this music game throws us

I see them lookin' for the keys, but they won't find it

I come from struggle, I'm a fighter, must you 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 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

I'm from the home of the spinners, 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 comin' 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 sendin' 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
