[Verse 1: Tinashe]
Sky's on fire
Lightning, the storm's 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

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

[Verse 2: Tinashe]
Sky's on, fire
Lightning, the storm's come
You know I, tried to tell you
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

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

[Verse 3: Tinashe]
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 rest
Comparisons will only set to be besides your call
Nothing more, nothing less
Ain't no stopping what is written by the cosmic call

[Guitar Solo: Dev Hynes]

Tinashe Jorgenson Kachingwe, known mononymously as Tinashe, is an American singer-songwriter, actress, dancer, and former model born in Lexington, Kentucky and raised in Los Angeles, California.

Born on February 6, 1993, her rise to fame began with her acting on shows such as Two and a Half Men. Initially making her debut in the music industry via the short-lived girl group The Stunners—which also featured Hayley Kiyoko—she garnered attention from online music blogs with her 2012 mixtape, In Case We Die. Signing with RCA Records shortly after, she released two further mixtapes later that year and in 2013: Reverie and Black Water respectively. “2 On” was released in January 2014 as the lead single from her debut album, Aquarius, and remains her biggest solo single to date. Released in October that year, the album was praised by critics for its merging of old-school R&B sounds and fresh 2010s trends. The follow-up was subjected to much-criticised although “Player” was billed as the collection’s lead single as early as October 2015, songs released from the project failed to reach the label’s expectations, resulting in the release of an album’s worth of outtakes from the album, Nightride, in November 2016. Joyride was finally released on April 13: it features the singles “No Drama”, “Faded Love” and “Me So Bad”.

On February 18, 2019, Tinashe parted ways with her longtime record label RCA. By November that year, she inked a new management deal with Roc Nation and self-released Songs for You, her fourth studio album.
