Beat It
Michael Jackson Lyrics

They told him, "Don't you ever come around here Don't want to see your face, you better disappear"
He was warned to stay away, people didn't want to see him around. They even told him to vanish.

The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear So beat it, just beat it
People looked at him with anger and spoke with conviction. He was advised to leave quickly.

You better run, you better do what you can Don't want to see no blood, don't be a macho man You want to be tough, better do what you can So beat it, but you want to be bad
It's not worth fighting, it's smarter to flee. There should be no acts of violence, there is no point in being aggressive.

Just beat it, 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, beat it Just beat it, beat it
There is no need to win or lose, showing strength in the face of danger is all that is important.

They're out to get you, better leave while you can Don't want to be a boy, you want to be a man You want to stay alive, better do what you can So beat it, just beat it (ooh)
The situation is dangerous and the best course of action is to leave. Acting like a grown-up and staying alive are the most important things.

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 They'll tell you it's fair So beat it, but you want to be bad
The singer has to demonstrate that he is brave and not afraid of danger. The situation is serious and shouldn't be taken lightly. His attackers will hit him when he's down and find it justifiable. Nonetheless, he has to defend himself.

Just beat it, 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
Standing up for himself, in this instance, is futile. Showing resilience and strength are stronger traits to exude.

Just beat it, 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, beat it, beat it, beat it Beat it, beat it, beat it Beat it, beat it, beat it Beat it, beat it, beat it Beat it, beat it, beat it
Imploring the listener to lead by example and be strong in character.

Beat it, 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, beat it Beat it, beat it
Repeating the message of resilience and strength, coupled with bravery.

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