Bet I Will

*BET I WILL* is for my nephew: a kid with a competitive streak, a big family behind him, and the confidence to try again when things don’t go his way. From soccer and video games to a few lessons learned the hard way, this is his story in his own voice. If somebody tells you that you can’t, turn it up and tell them: *Bet I will.* 🎧⚽🎮 Subscribe for more original music from **HitmAIker Original Music**. *LYRICS* Yeah Tell me I can’t? Cool. Tell me I won’t? Bet I will. Middle kid, had to find my own lane Big bro went first, now I’m learning the game Little sis behind me, gotta show her the way Even when I mess up like every other day Dad taught me stand tall, look ‘em straight in the eye Tio said keep pushing, you don’t quit when you’re tired Cousins all around me, yeah, the family runs deep Mama know I got her, I got people I keep Abuela, Abu, got the love, Maw Maw checking on me Titi knows the stories they keep bringing up on me Big family behind me everywhere that I go They gave me my roots, now I’m ready to grow I been down, got back up Took some hits, still ain’t stuck Tell me chill, I say what? Tell me no, now you messed up Say I won’t — bet I will Say I can’t — bet I will Knock me down, I’m coming back Every time — bet I will Ball at my feet, game on the line Controller in my hand, yeah, I’m locked in tonight You can count me out, I’m counting that win Tell me I won’t — bet I will, bet I will Yeah, I’m competitive, everybody knows Soccer on the field, I’m attacking that goal Basketball, football, whatever we play If you beat me one time, run it back right away Two outta three, then it’s three outta five I’m not leaving till I get this thing right I don’t take an L, I collect information Come back next round with a whole new equation Same thing online when I’m running with the squad Headset on, locked in, everybody do your job Talk like you’re better? Okay, let’s see Nothing gets me going like you doubting me Middle child, yeah, gotta make some noise Can’t get lost in the middle when you got this voice I can rap pretty good — nah, let me be real Give me a beat and a mic, let me show you the skill Say I won’t — bet I will Say I can’t — bet I will Knock me down, I’m coming back Every time — bet I will Ball at my feet, game on the line Controller in my hand, yeah, I’m locked in tonight You can count me out, I’m counting that win Tell me I won’t — bet I will, bet I will I made some choices, learned the hard way Bocce ball flying at my head one day Somebody yelled “Duck!” — little too late BAM to the dome! Seeing stars, yeah, that felt great Then the four-wheeler — we can skip that part Tio said slow down, I thought I was smart Turns out, and I hate admitting this fact Sometimes when Tio says stop... you should probably do that Scraped up, bruised up, still came back Every little scar got a story attached Made some bad calls, but I learned from those Getting knocked down’s just part of how you grow I wanna make Dad proud, make Mama smile Have big bro say, “Yeah, he found his own style” Make Tio nod like, “That’s my guy” Be the big brother little sis wants by her side For Abuela, Abu, Maw Maw, Titi and the crew For my cousins that remind me where I come from too Tryna be a good kid and still stay cool And maybe, just maybe, start listening too ...Maybe. I don’t gotta act hard I don’t gotta pretend I know who I am, I know who my friends And family are when the hard days hit That’s why every time I fall, I don’t quit I practice, I work, I compete, improve If I’m not there today, tomorrow I move One step closer, every rep, every try I’d rather go for it than wonder why Say I won’t — bet I will Say I can’t — bet I will Knock me down, I’m coming back Every time — bet I will Dad, Mom, big bro, little sis on my side Tio and my cousins, whole family behind Abuela, Abu, Maw Maw, Titi know what it is I got a whole lotta reasons — bet I will Got some scars, got some skills Got some growing up to do But tell me that I’ll never make it? Bet I will. Middle kid. Big family. My turn. And the four-wheeler? Yeah... I listen now. Mostly...... Workin on them pushups too! #BetIWill #HitmAIker #OriginalMusic
