Verse 1:

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

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
