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

The lyrics of Michael Jackson's hit song Beat It speak to the problem of gang violence in urban America. The song begins by telling the story of a young man who has been warned to stay away from a dangerous area. However, he decides to ignore this advice and comes face to face with a group of tough guys who are looking for a fight. The chorus of the song "beat it" is the call to action for the young man to run away from the situation, to show that he is not weak, but he knows that violence is not the answer.

This is better than I thought it was in the past. Poor Fergie and Will.I.Am really got dumped on for this. So sad. I dig it now! I hope that people change their minds in the future about it!
