Milton Nascimento - Beat It letra (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
