Bet On It

"Bet On It" is the eighth song performed in High School Musical 2. It is performed by Zac Efron as Troy Bolton.
==Summary==
After Troy (Zac Efron) learns that Sharpay (Ashley Tisdale) has forbidden the Wildcats from performing in the Lava Springs talent show, he decides he's had enough of letting other people control his life. He regrets pushing Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens) and his friends away and decides to make everything right again.
The song also appears in the Disney+ series High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. It is performed by Ricky (Joshua Bassett) in the first episode of season two, "New Year's Eve". Before the spring musical is revealed to be Beauty and the Beast, Ricky practices the song with the help of Big Red (Larry Saperstein), believing it would be a good chance he'd be cast again as Troy.

Troy:
Everybody’s always talkin’ at me
Everybody’s tryin’ to get in my head
I wanna listen to my own heart talkin’
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 have 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’m gonna make it right, that is the way
To turn my life around, today is that 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 dreams will ever come true?
(Did you ever) 
Blame the world but 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’m gonna make it right, that is the way
To turn my life around, today is that day
Am I the type of guy who means what I say
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it
Oh, hold up
Give me room to think, bring it on down
Gotta work on my swing
Gotta do my own thing
Oh, 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
Oooh, 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
We’ll 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 (bet on me!)
I wanna make it right, that is the way
To turn my life around, today is that 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
