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

 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
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
