Beat It
Fallout Boy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't wanna 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 leave while you can
Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man
You wanna stay tough, better do what you can
Just beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Show em how funky 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 got 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'll beat you,
Then they'll tell you it's fair
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky 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
Beat it [x5]
Beat it [x5]
Beat it [x5]
Beat it [x5]
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky 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 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 [x4]
The lyrics of "Beat It" by Fallout Boy, originally sung by Michael Jackson, talks about a fight that is about to break out, and the singer advises someone to run away from the scene and avoid getting involved in the violence. The verse illuminates the situation where the singer is advised to leave immediately because of the tension and anger in the air. The chorus emphasizes on the idea of standing up for oneself and fighting back, no matter who is right and who is wrong. The phrase "Just Beat It" becomes a strong motivational slogan that encourages listeners to be brave, fight smart, and show their strength.
The second verse of the song highlights the theme of growing up and becoming a full-grown man, and the need to be strong and prove oneself valuable. The chorus follows again, outlining the idea of standing up for what one believes in, regardless of who is challenging them. In the last section, the lyrics repeat the chorus, highlighting the importance of showing strength, courage, and resilience in any given situation.
