Will Smith Drops New Song With Fridayy And The Sunday Service Choir Ahead Of BET Awards Performance

Will Smith is turning his trials into triumph in his new rap song, “You Can Make It.”

Released Friday, Smith brings on Fridayy and the Sunday Service Choir (the same choir you may be familiar with due to their work with Kanye West) on his new song as he tells listeners to not give up in life, according to Complex . Smith gets into the nitty-girtty by saying that a harder journey means a bigger reward and how his own personal adversity regarding the Oscars has affected him.

“Believe me, they tried to bleed Will Smith,” he raps. “In the rearview, I see adversity was the gift. To lift me higher, gifts require faith. So dry your eyes and then you’ll find a way.” He goes onto say that the “madness” will eventually go away and that the “darkest of nights will turn into days.”
