"Beat It" 是由 Michael Jackson 在 1983 年演唱的一首歌曲。以下是這首歌的歌詞：
Verse 1:
Yo, beat it, beat it, baby, don't beat it, again
Can't you see it, hear the war we got to end
Time to get up off that street game
(Bum bum bum bum bum)
Don't try to make it so complicated
You ain't gotta try to sell your creation
But when it all gets down to two or three
Beat it, don't try to fight with me
Chorus:
Beat it, beat it, baby, don't beat it
(Don't you know you're gonna get hurt)
Beat it, beat it, before it gets to you
(Don't you know you're gonna get hurt)
Just beat it, beat it baby, beat it
(Don't you know you're gonna get hurt)
Verse 2:
I know you got a lot of problems
And I know you got a lot of pride
But if you feel like you can't get by
You got to beat the rhythm of the street
You can dance all through the night
(Bum bum bum bum bum)
You can jump high into the air
But if your mind's in chaos, no way (no way)
It ain't no reason for you to stray
From what you gotta do today
(It ain't no big thing)
It ain't no big thing at all (babe)
Chorus:
Just beat it, beat it baby, beat it (beat it)
Just beat it, beat it baby (beat it)
Don't beat it, don't you know you gonna get hurt? (beat it)
Just beat it, beat it baby (beat it)
Just beat it now, hey hey hey! (babe)
Just beat it now, yeah yeah yeah! (babe)
Bridge:
And if your head is spinning and your feet are moving fast
You better beat the rhythm of the street (beat it)
You can run and scream and yell and holler (hey hey)
But if your mind is in a whirl (you're gone), go go (hey)
The choice is yours today (your own), okay! (you can beat it)
Chorus:
So just beat it baby (beat it), just beat it (babe)
You won't know if you're gonna make it now (no no no no)
You gotta take control of what you gotta do today (take control)
So just beat the rhythm of the street (beat it)
(Beat It! Beat It! Beat It!)
這首歌的歌詞表達了一種對暴力行為的反對，以及對和平解決衝突的呼籲。它鼓勵人們以和平和尊重的方式解決問題，而不是使用暴力和對抗。這也是 Michael Jackson 一直以來的音樂理念之一。
