They told him, "Don't you ever come around here
The singer is warned to stay away from a certain area.

Don't want to see your face, you better disappear"

The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear
The people warning the singer are serious and mean what they say.

So beat it, just beat it
The artist is urged to leave right away.

You better run, you better do what you can
The artist must act quickly and try to escape.

Don't want to see no blood, don't be a macho man
The people warning the singer do not want any violence to occur.

You want to be tough, better do what you can
The singer may want to fight back or resist, but it is better to follow the advice given to him and leave.

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
