Michael Jackson-Michael Jackson's This Is It (The Music That Inspired the Movie)
lyrics summary
They told him don't you ever come around here
They told him: Do you dare to come again?
Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear
Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear
The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear
anger rises in their eyes, and the words are very clear
So beat it, just beat it
Then avoid it, avoid
You better run, you better do what you can
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
I want to give up
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
so all come to fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Actually right or wrong is not important
Just beat it, beat it
Just avoid it, avoid

The song
Before writing "Beat It", Jackson thought of creating a rock song that he would "willing to buy on the street", but it was different from ordinary rock songs, like what was often played on the radio at the time. Forty best songs.
Jackson has been setting an example, hoping to make the world a better place through his own efforts.
In the United States in the 1980s, many young people would form parties and make trouble everywhere. School violence in schools was also raging. So when writing "Beat It", Jackson kept thinking about what songs he would create for the children. The most beneficial.
Jackson wrote this song as early as when he was making "Off the Wall", but he was reluctant to show it to others. When making "Thriller", Jackson also kept the song "Beat It" hidden. This song can be described as Jackson's highly satisfied work.
Later Quincy told Jackson that he needed a great rock song in "Thriller". He said, "Come on, where is it? I know you have such a song." Quincy finally convinced Jackson.
On February 14, 1983, after "Billie Jean", the single EP was released under the title of the third wave of the album "Thriller".
Regarding this song, Jackson described in his autobiography "Spacewalk":
"In "Beat It", I want to tell everyone what I will do if I get stuck. This is a lesson, it tells us You should hate and give up violence. I am convinced of this. "Beat It" tells children to be alert and avoid trouble. I don't mean that someone hits you on the right cheek. You turn your left cheek to make you hit , I mean, unless you are forced to a corner, you have no choice but to avoid violence and get away quickly. If you get injured or even die in a fight, you won’t get anything. Instead, you will lose everything. You are a loser. , How do you have the face to face those who love you? This is the meaning of "Beat It". I think that truly brave and smart people are people who can solve problems peacefully, and they use people who can solve problems peacefully. They use wisdom, not violence." The story behind the song "Beat It" and Jackson's intentions of
are awe-inspiring after hearing it! And he also has more public welfare songs composed for caring for children, advocating environmental protection, world peace, etc., such as "We've Had Enough", "Man In The Mirror" and other music. As a result, he was nominated twice for the World Nobel Peace Prize.
would like to extend my deep respect!
