Help me to understand lyrics of song "castle made of sand". Song 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. [Verse 1: Pitbull] I sacrifice my life to give you my life through speakers, Try to do good even though I’ve been crossed like Jesus, God knows I got a good heart but my blood is filled with demons I’m fighting myself, believe me, I’m far from ignorant, far from greedy If you know what I come from, know what I’ve been through You think there should have been another outcome Just like most kids, a father I did it without one Come from the city, woulda X-ed 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 mother fucker knock down my castle made of sand I understand the meaning of most of the sentences individually. But I am unable to link it from other .Though I know the meaning of each and every word in sentence , still I am unable to understand the actual meaning . For example i understand the meaning of each and every word of first three lines but still It doesnt seem meaning full to me .I dont understand what the lyric writter wants to make say.

What the writer is trying to sing about is his struggles. His Dad left at a young age, so his mother brought him up alone. He feels broken, and he is constantly at war within himself - wanting to do right but doing wrong. The castle made of sand could be referring to something that is thought to be strong (like a castle) but is actually weak (sand castles).
