Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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

The lyrics to Michael Jackson and Fergie's song Beat It 2008 is a message about standing up for oneself when faced with confrontation or potential danger. The opening lines set the scene, warning the listener not to come around and to disappear- a message that is repeated through the song. The suggestion is that there is someone or a group of people who pose a threat, with "fire in their eyes" and "words that are really clear". The song warns to run and to do whatever one can to avoid bloodshed. Being a "macho man" is not helpful- it is better to remain alive by doing what one can, but to also show strength.
The message of the song is unmistakable. It is an invitation to take a stand against perceived threats, to show strength, but also to do all one can to avoid violence. There is a suggestion that standing up to bullies will result in physical harm, but the alternative (conforming, remaining silent) is not preferable either. However, the importance is placed in walking away from dangerous situations when it is possible, rather than putting oneself in harm's way. The repeated refrain of "just beat it" subtly implies that one should not engage in further confrontation- the best thing to do is to leave the situation behind.

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.
