They told him, Don't you ever come around here.
Don't wanna see your face,
You better disappear
The fires in their eyes and their words are really clear
So beat it
Just beat it
You better run
You better do what you can
Don't wanna see no blood
Don't be a macho man
You wanna be tough
Better do what you can
So beat it
But you wanna be bad

Just beat (beat it)
Beat it (Beat it)
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it
Just beat it
Just beat it
Just beat it

They're out to get you
Better leave while you can
Don't wanna be a boy
You wanna be a man
You wanna stay alive
Better do what you can
So beat it
Just beat it
You have to show them that you're really not scared
You're playin' with your life
This ain't no truth or dare
They'll kick you, then they beat you, then they'll tell you its fair
So beat it
But you wanna be bad

Just beat (beat it)
Beat it (Beat it)
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it
Just beat it
Just beat it
Just beat it
