Will Smith hit the BET Awards stage Sunday night to perform a brand-new song, “You Can Make It,” backed by the Sunday Service Choir, Chandler Moore and Kirk Franklin.
Smith kicked off the performance standing on what was meant to look like lava, surrounded by fire, and rapping lyrics including: “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 rearview, I see adversity was the gift / To lift me higher gifts requires faith / So dry your eyes and then you’ll find a way / Out of the madness, out of the maze / And out of the saddest into the rays / The darkest of nights turns into day / And every storm runs out of rain.”
He was joined by Sunday Service Choir, Fridayy and Franklin on the stage for a rousing performance that drew lots of cheers and a standing ovation from the audience. The performance also featured what looked like rain, ending with the fire being put out and more inspiring lyrics rapped by Smith: “Nobody gets an easy ride / We all have a cross to bear / But there’s wisdom in that fire / And every moment of your life is a brand-new opportunity / We are not being punished, we are being forged / Dance in your darkest moments.”
Afterward, Smith tweeted a video of the performance, writing, “I have returned Home! The comeback is always bigger than the setback.”
