I Believe That We Will Win

At the end of the Democratic National Convention, Vice President Biden and Senator Harris walked onto an outdoor stage assembled in front of a large gathering of parked cars, a necessity in these days of pandemic. There, they waved to the crowd as the cars honked their horns and fireworks went off above them.

I couldn’t help but take notice of the song that was playing in the background at that moment. It was by the rapper Pit Bull and it was titled “I Believe That We Will Win.”

Now, I have no idea how you might feel about the music of Mr. 305. You might like it, dislike it, or maybe you never heard of it. Personally, I’m take it or leave it on him.

But regardless of the music, I think the lyrics are more apt today than they’ll ever be, and we need to keep them in our minds as we move forward these next few days.



You know what spreads faster than any virus
Is fear
Now when it comes to fear you can either
Forget everything and run
I said I (I)
Or you can face everything and rise
I believe (I believe)
And let me tell you what I believe
I believe that (I believe that)
I believe we gonna face everything and rise
I believe that we will win (I believe that we will win)
I believe that we will win (say it)
I believe that we will win
I believe that we will win (say it)
I believe that we will win
I believe that we will win (say it)
I believe that we will win
I believe that we will win (say it)
I believe that we will win (woo!)
It's not how you fall (hell nah)
It's how you get back up
And what don't kill us make us stronger
Boy, I bet that up
Take a swing at us
You better hit hard
'Cause when we swing back (bing bang)
It's like, "Oh God" (oh God)
It's time to knuckle up (knuckle up)
And fight hard (fight hard)
Now let's all buckle up (buckle up)
And fight hard (fight hard)
Que Dios bendiga a toda tu famila mi amigo
De parte Armandito vamos a darle duro a este virus
I said I, say it with me (I)
I believe, say it with me (I believe)
I believe that, say it with me (I believe that)
I believe that we will win
Let me hear you say (I believe that we will win)
I believe that we will win (say it)
I believe that we will win
I believe that we will win (say it)
I believe that we will win
I believe that we will win (say it)
I believe that we will win
I believe that we will win (say it)
I believe that we will win (woo)
We could lose the battle
But we gon' win the war
I'm from the bottom, I'm that uncut real raw
When things get tough
That's when we show up
That's when we show out
That's when we show you all (305)
It's time to knuckle up (knuckle up)
And fight hard (fight hard)
Now let's all buckle up (buckle up)
And fight hard (fight hard)
Que Dios bendiga a toda tu famila mi amigo
De parte Armandito vamos a darle duro a este virus
I said I, say it with me (I)
I believe, say it with me (I believe)
I believe that, say it with me (I believe that)
I believe that we will win
Let me hear you say (I believe that we will win)
I believe that we will win (say it)

I believe that we will win
I believe that we will win (say it)
I believe that we will win
Bottom line
No matter what
Face everything and rise
