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
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

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 and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it

Overall Meaning

The song “Beat It” by Rhythms del Mundo and Fall Out is a tribute to Michael Jackson’s original song with the same title. The lyrics are about the importance of standing up for oneself even when faced with difficult situations. The first two lines of the song refer to a person being unwelcome, and they are advised to leave immediately. The chorus, which repeats throughout the song, urges that one should simply "beat it" to avoid further conflict, with the emphasis that an individual should establish their independence while remaining unmarked by aggression.


The second verse reinforces the idea of standing up for oneself and not giving in to challenges. The lines urge that one cannot be afraid or back down since life is not a game of Truth or Dare. The verse also states that if someone tries to hurt you, they will tell you that it is fair or justified, and that the only solution is to stand firm against them. The chorus repeats to reinforce the message that everyone, regardless of what is wrong or right, can be defeated if they do not fight.
