BEAT IT
Myles Frost Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They told him
"Don't you ever come around here
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 (O oh)
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
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 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, uh)

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, but you wanna 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)

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
(Oh, Lord) no one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
(Who's wrong or who's right)
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
(Hoo hoo)
No one wants to be defeated (Oh, Lord)
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it





Hoo hoo!

It is evident to me Myles took the role so seriously and really did the work to understand Michael in all aspects. Well done!!!

Theresa Williams

The lead really embodies the physical body movements of MJ in this clip. If the rest of the show is like this, it must be incredible to watch in person.

It is UNREAL live... I saw it two weeks ago and it is STILL in me... I am saving up my coin to go see it again in October -- Myles and Company are INCREDIBLE!!!!!!

Bobcat Bigpaws

Oh my God it's Michael reincarnated. What can I say about this that doesn't send me reeling. How can people be this talented and make Michael look like he's really on stage.
