Milton Nascimento - Beat It Lyrics

They told him don't you ever come around here
Don't want to see your face, you'd better disappear
The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it

You'd better run, you'd better do what you can
Don't want to see no blood, don't be a macho man
You want to be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you want to 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
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 want to be a boy you want to be a man
You want to 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'll beat you
And they'll tell you it's fair
So beat it, but you want to 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
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
