Bet On It
Troy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody's always talking at me
Everybody's trying to get in my head
I wanna listen to my own heart talking
I need to count on myself instead

Did you ever
Lose yourself to get what you want?
Did you ever
Get on a ride, then wanna get off?

Did you ever push away the ones
You should've held close?
Did you ever let go?
Did you ever not know?

I'm not gonna stop, that's who I am
I'll give it all I got, that is my plan
Will I find what I lost? You know you can
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it
(Bet on me)

I wanna make it right, that is the way
To turn my life around, today is the day
Am I the type of guy who means what I say?
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it

How will I know if there's a path worth taking?
Should I question every move I make?
With all I???ve lost, my heart is breaking
I don't wanna make the same mistake

Did you ever
Doubt your dream will ever come true?
Did you ever
Blame the world and never blame you?

I will never
Try to live a lie again
I don't wanna win this game
If I can't play it my way

I'm not gonna stop, that's who I am
(Who I am)
I'll give it all I got, that is my plan
(That's my plan)

Will I find what I lost? You know you can
(You know you can)
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it
(Bet on me)

I wanna make it right, that is the way
To turn my life around, today is the day
Am I the type of guy who means what I say?
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it

Hold up, give me room to think
Bring it on down
Gotta work on my swing
Gotta do my own thing, hold up

It's no good at all to see yourself
And not recognize your face
Out on my own, it's such a scary place
The answers are all inside of me
All I gotta do is believe

I'm not gonna stop
Not gonna stop 'til I get my shot
That's who I am, that is my plan
Will I end up on top?

You can bet on it, bet on it
Bet on it, bet on it
You can bet on it, bet on it
Bet on it, bet on it

I wanna make it right, that is the way
To turn my life around, today is the day
Am I the type of guy who means what I say?




Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it
(You can bet on me)

Overall Meaning

The song "Bet On It" by Troy from the movie High School Musical 2 is a powerful anthem about finding oneself and staying true to one's own beliefs. The lyrics reveal the singer's struggles with doubts and frustrations about life, but he eventually finds the courage to march forward and trust himself to achieve his dreams. In the opening lines, he expresses his exhaustion with others' opinions and desires to listen to his own heart. He then reflects on his past experiences, including the moments when he lost sight of his goals, pushed away loved ones, and doubted his capabilities. However, he decides to make a change, to make things right and take control of his future.


Towards the end of the song, Troy's confidence and determination to succeed grow stronger as he envisions himself at the top, challenging himself to do his best and pursue his dreams. Through this journey of self-discovery, Troy has realized that he cannot continue living a lie or blaming others for his mistakes. Instead, he wants to make a change, to turn his life around and become the person he always wanted to be. The song teaches us to hold on to our beliefs, work hard for our dreams, and trust ourselves even when the path seems uncertain.
