Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They told him don't you ever come around here
Don't want to see your face, you better disappear
The fire's 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 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

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
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it

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

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 it's fair
So beat it, but you want to be bad

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
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
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

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

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
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

Overall Meaning

The song "Beat It" by Michael Jackson is about standing up to bullies and defending oneself in a violent situation. The lyrics tell the story of a boy who is warned to stay away from a dangerous crowd, but refuses to back down and confronts them instead. The chorus encourages him and others to stand up and fight, even if it means risking their lives.


The first verse describes the intimidating nature of the group the boy is warned about. Their anger is apparent in their eyes, and their words make it clear that the boy is not welcome. Despite this, the chorus encourages him to "beat it" and show his strength by fighting back.


The second verse emphasizes the importance of staying alive, but also the importance of proving one's bravery. The line "you're playin' with your life, this ain't no truth or dare" suggests that the boy is taking a big risk, but also that he is willing to take that risk to stand up for himself. The chorus repeats, urging him and others to continue to fight for what is right.


Overall, "Beat It" is a powerful anthem about standing up for oneself in the face of danger and violence. The lyrics convey a message of resilience and hope, encouraging listeners to be confident, brave, and unafraid to stand up for what they believe in.

It was agreed upon in advance that there would be no money involved.
Eddie was under a contract with the other guys in "Van Halen" that they would not go out on their own and play with other bands for any type of monetary gain.

This was a great thing for both Michael Jackson and Eddie Van Halen.

Eddie has a solo on a song that was part of an album that sold more copies than any other album in human history...

Michael Jackson managed to get Eddie Van Halen to do a lead guitar solo on his album "Thriller".

It was a good deal for both of them.

Jesus Christ is Lord. He is the only way to Heaven. We do not go to Heaven for being a “good person”, God will judge us on HIS standards, He is the ultimate judge. God sent Jesus Christ to die for all of our sins and our belief in him covers our sins, he paid the ultimate price for us all. Read a Bible (King James Version), it’s very black and white. Our eternal soul is at stake! This life is temporary, our soul is forever.

Proof Jesus is the Only Way:

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
-‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭6‬

Proof on How to make Heaven:

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
-‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭9‬

Hope this helps ✝️

Eddie did a good solo but the meat and potatoes of the guitar work (and bass) was done by Steve Lukather. Paul Jackson Jr is credited too and I believe he did some R&B guitar strumming.
