WILL SMITH "YOU CAN MAKE IT" *NEW SINGLE JUST DROPPED!*


Recommended Posts

 

Lyrics:

"You Can Make It"
(feat. Fridayy & Sunday Service Choir)
 

Don't give up on me, I need you to hold on
Know you're deep up in the storm
But I know you can face it...
It could get dark on the road and you're feeling all alone
Don't lose sight of where you're going
'Cause I know you can make it...

Yeah I know you can make it
I know you can make it

You are in the smoke and the fire
Tight rope on the wire
I see you're broken and tired
And all your hope is expired
You're just done with the change and the games and the shame
And the world is insane, all the pain
From the flames that you walk through
But no one to talk to
The ghost that'll haunt you
And thoughts that'll taunt you
Tryna heal but the battles uphill
And if God is for real
You just wonder if He'll listen
So many tests for the flesh
Exhausted, gasping to catch your breath
Walking through the valley of the shadow of death
And when you think you've got nothing left
Keep going

Don't give up on me, I need you to hold on
Know you're deep up in the storm
But I know you can face it...
It could get dark on the road and you're feeling all alone
Don't lose sight of where you're going
'Cause I know you can make it...

Yeah I know you can make it (You can make it)
I know you can make it
I know you can face it (Face it)
I know you can make it

The darker the hell you gotta endure
The brighter the heaven you get to enjoy
The harder the fall, the higher you soar
God opens a window when the devil closes the door
Believe me, they tried to bleed Will Smith
In the rear view I see adversity was the gift
To lift me higher, gifts require faith
So dry your eyes and then you'll find the way
Out of the madness, out of the maze
Out of the sadness into the rays
The darkest of nights will turn into day
And every storm runs out of rain
Hold on

Don't give up on me, I need you to hold on
I know you can face it...
Ohhh, ohhh, ohhh
I know you can make it...

I know you can make it (You can make it)
I know you can make it
I know you can face it (You can face it)
I know you can make it

Nobody gets an easy ride
We all have a cross to bear
But there's wisdom in the fire
And every moment is an opportunity
Embrace the journey

I think it’s a great track, love the gospel choir. It has feeling and reminds me of the rain. Will is rapping like Lost & Found which I like, good skill with his lyrics. I’m expecting a massive performance at the BET awards. If anyone is going through something, this song is gonna get you through. I know Will has all these movies but there’s nothing like his music! This is gonna be huge!!!

I love it. Catchy, modern sound with deep lyrics. I was just assuming any new Will song would mostly be for the fans but I can see this making an impact mainstream. Especially since he’s performing it at the BET awards.

If the rain was my teenage angst song, this can be my midlife crisis one.

“Every storm runs out of rain” love it!

The excitement is through the roof for me on this one. It's a whole new era for music so I don't know how well will do commercially but I know will is doing it mostly for himself and the fans at this stage. Already learning the lyrics to this one.

I'm really happy with this song.  Musically, it leans toward modern rap/R&B on the radio, but with a gospel blend.  The lyrics are powerful and something a lot of people can cling onto. I think the song kind of serves as a redeeming moment for him in pop culture.  It's almost like an indirect apology to those he may have let down with what happened publicly in the last couple years.

I can see why he choose to perform at the BET Awards with this.  BET is the perfect space for a song like this.  The subject matter is on a level higher than what radio will naturally support, but I hope the BET performance shakes things up and that the song finds a successful home on radio and streaming platforms. 

It's a great day to be a Fresh Prince fan. 

p.s.  Can we get Jeff on the remix?
