Verse 1

They told him Don't you

 ever come around here

 Don't wanna see your face

 You better disappear?

 The fires 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 though

 Better do what you can

 So beat it

 But you wanna be bad

Chorus 1

Do Intro Part 2 for Guitar 2

 Just beat (beat it)

Beat it (Beat it)

No one wants to be defeated

Showing how funky and

 strong is your fight

It doesn't matter

who's wrong or right

 Just beat it

 Just beat it

 Just beat it

 Just beat it

Verse 2

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 playing with your life

 This ain't no truth or dare

 They'll kick you then they beat you

 then they'll tell you its fair

 So beat it

 But you wanna be bad

(Repeat Chorus)
