Verse 2 Lyrics
They're out to get you better leave while you can
Don't wanna be a boy you anna 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 playin with your life this aint no truth or dare 
They'll kick you and they'll beat you and they'll tell you that its fair so Beat it      
Just beat it
But you wanna be bad
