Bet
Devonte Hynes Tinashe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sky's on, fire
Lightening
The stars come
You know I, tried to
Tell you
Attempted to warn you
And we've been praying for the rain
It's been months now
Since you came here to California
I'll be here to hold ya

Bet on it
Pay no mind to what the doubters all say
I'mma be around for ever, always
You can bet on it

Sky's on, fire
Lightening
The stars come
And you know I
Tried to, tell ya
Attempted to warn you
And we've been praying, anticipating
Been a long time coming for the road that we had to follow
I'll be here tomorrow

Bet on it
Pay no mind to what the doubters all say
I'mma be around for ever, always
You can bet on it

Fire
Yeah whisper in the wind
Slippin' on the back of your neck
Something 'bout to happen here
And you're gonna wanna witness it for sure
When you're sick of all the best
Comparisons will only set to be besides your call




Nothing more, nothing less
Ain't no stopping what is written by the cosmic call

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Bet" by Tinashe featuring Devonte Hynes talks about betting on someone's consistency and loyalty in a relationship, despite the challenges that come with it. The song starts with the lines, “Sky's on fire, lightning / The stars come / You know I tried to tell you, attempted to warn you,” which suggest the coming of a storm, possibly referring to a difficulty or challenge, that the singer has warned her lover about. The second verse repeats the same idea, with the lines, “And we've been praying for the rain / It's been months now / Since you came here to California / I'll be here to hold ya.” The song suggests that the singer is waiting for the storm to pass and promises to stay loyal to her lover during the difficult times.


The chorus of the song, “Bet on it / Pay no mind to what the doubters all say / I'mma be around forever, always / You can bet on it,” tells her lover to trust her and her intentions, especially when there are doubts and criticisms from other people. The song continues with a romantic tone, suggesting that the singer is patient, committed, and waiting for her lover despite the difficult circumstances.
