Beat It

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You came around my block With that same old grin Talking too big Like you always win Your boots on the step Your crew at the curb You want my last nerve You want my last word [Pre-Chorus] But I know that look I know that game You want a spark You want a name Keep your distance, babe I’m not your prize I see the storm Behind your eyes [Chorus] Beat it, beat it (beat it) Take your shadow and go Beat it, beat it (beat it) I won’t give you control Beat it, beat it (beat it) Say it once, let it go Beat it, beat it You don’t run this show [Verse 2] You slam that gate Like you own this house But the truth gets loud When you start to shout I kept my cool I kept my line You want my fear But you’re out of time [Pre-Chorus] You can circle back You can knock again I won’t fold I won’t bend Hear that door shut? That’s my turn now You lose the room When I hold my ground [Chorus] Beat it, beat it (beat it) Take your shadow and go Beat it, beat it (beat it) I won’t give you control Beat it, beat it (beat it) Say it once, let it go Beat it, beat it You don’t run this show [Bridge] I’m done with the threats Done with the bait Done with the games Done with the weight You can raise your voice You can burn your fuse I’ve made my choice And it’s not you [Final Chorus] Beat it, beat it (beat it) Take your shadow and go Beat it, beat it (beat it) I won’t give you control Beat it, beat it (beat it) Say it once, let it go Beat it, beat it (beat it) I’m still standing strong
