Will Smith Debut “You Can Make It” at the 2024 BET Awards

On a star-studded night at the 2024 BET Awards in Los Angeles, Academy Award-winning actor and four-time Grammy-winning recording artist Will Smith took the stage by storm.

The Performance

Will Smith began his performance in the center of a burning fire pit, a visual metaphor for life’s challenges. As the flames flickered around him, he delivered the opening lines with raw emotion:

“You are in the smoke and the fire, tightrope on the wires. I see you’re broken and tired, and all your hope is expired.”

The lyrics resonated with everyone who has faced adversity, capturing the struggle and resilience we encounter on our journey.

 

Joined by Gospel Legends

Smith wasn’t alone on that stage. He was joined by gospel music legends Kirk Franklin, Chandler Moore, and the Sunday Service Choir. Together, they transformed the rain-soaked stage into a sanctuary of hope. The rain symbolized cleansing and renewal, emphasizing the song’s message that even in life’s storms, we can find strength.

 

A Message of Encouragement

As the performance reached its climax, Smith shared a heartfelt message with the audience:

“Nobody gets an easy ride. We all have a cross to bear, but there is wisdom in that fire. And every single moment of your life is a brand new opportunity.”

His words echoed through the theater, reminding us that challenges shape us, and growth often emerges from adversity. Smith encouraged everyone to “dance in your darkest moments,” embracing the transformative power of struggle.

 

The Journey Back to Music

Before his BET Awards performance, Smith had been away from the music scene for years. Yet, his return was met with anticipation and excitement. BET recognized his iconic status, celebrating his journey from rapper to Fresh Prince to box office king. Smith’s Grammy win in 1989 as the first rapper further solidified his place in music history.

A Humble Wish

Days before the awards show, Smith shared a video on Instagram, revealing a lesser-known talent: playing the piano. He captioned it:

“Through some of my darkest moments, music has always been there for me – to lift me and help me grow. It’s my humble wish that it can do the same for you and bring you all the joy and light you deserve.”

 

Will Smith performance at the 2024 BET Awards was more than just a song; it was a testament to resilience, hope, and the power of music. As we face our own challenges, let’s remember his words: “You can make it.”
