Actually the meaning of Beat It is to NOT fall into the trap of doing violence and fighting. You should reread the lyrics. He is saying for young men to “Just Beat It” meaning to beat that temptation of giving into violence and to pull oneself away from fighting. It is a very important message because he is talking about young men who often find themselves in that position of feeling they have to prove their toughness or manliness by fighting but he is saying it is not worth it because you’re playing with your life and can end up dead. The chorus is “Beat it! No one wants to be defeated… It doesn't matter who's wrong or right. Just beat it.”
"Beat It" tells not doing the macho man, don't try to make a fight, if someone provoke you, just beat it, just go... If you listen to the lyrics of the song, contrary to what you think now, they stand against violence
"beat it " is an old -fashioned slang phrase that means "go away" or "leave immediately" was quite popular slang in the 50's and 60's , all this song is about avoiding violence
4:38 thats the point of the song. He’s basically saying to stop trying to be a tough guy and just leave it be. It’s not worth risking your life for whatever the reason. “It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right, just beat it”
No! Recent subscriber due to content & her cheekbones. H’ever, I think Al Yankovich should school her in MJ, post 1982 Edit: watch the The Love You Save performance by the Jackson’s over the years. Truly amazing. MJ was too complex for mere mortals to understand, except Eddie.
