Castle Made Of Sand Lyrics - Kelly Rowland

So you tried to believe 

In the castle made of the sand 

When it falls to the sea 

And your feet can't find dry land 

Reach for my hand 

I sacrifice my life to give you my life through speakers 

Tryin' to be 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 fightin' myself 

Believe me, I'm far from ignorant, far from greedy 

If you knew where I come from, knew what I've been through 

You think that should have been another outcome 

Just like most kids, a father, I did it without one 

come from the city where they X you like Malcolm 

then you wonder how come I can move in the room full of wolves, so swift, so smooth 

Thank you, mom, for makin' me a man 

Let the motherfuckers knock down my castle in the sand

So you tried to believe 

In the castle made of the 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 Achilles, but they wont find 'em 

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 ya' 

And no matter what happens 

Just know you the reason that I'm rapping

So you tried to believe 

In the castle made of the 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 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 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 a beach with a bucket and a pail 

So you tried to believe 

In the castle made of the sand 

When it falls to the sea 

And your feet can't find dry land 

Reach for my hand 

Reach for my hand
