Beat It
Michelle Creber & Gabriel Brown 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 do what you can
Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man
You wanna 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 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 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 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 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, 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
(BASS)
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, 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
The lyrics of Michelle Creber & Gabriel Brown's song Beat It speak to the act of standing up to aggression and standing up for oneself. In the verses, the lyrics describe a situation where the singer is being chased away by a group of people who are angry with him. However, the singer is called to rise above their threats, and to "beat it," or leave the situation behind rather than succumbing to violence. The chorus repeats the call to "beat it" and declares that no one wants to be defeated, no matter who is right or wrong. The final lines of the song emphasize the importance of showing one's strength in the face of adversity.
The song's message has been interpreted in various ways – some see it as a commentary on gang violence, while others see it as a general call to non-violence. The phrase "beat it" itself could be seen as either an invitation to physically fight or a suggestion to leave a potentially dangerous situation before it escalates. Ultimately, the song can be viewed as a warning against violence and an encouragement to take the high road.
