23-Year- Old Rock Prodigy Wows World With “Beat It” Cover

Just Beat It

Professional guitarist Desiree Bassett performs a sweet rendition of Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” intimately in her own house. Needing no vocals, Desiree delivers this flawless and expertly clean performance of what we can consider to be one of her favorite songs to play.

“You better run, you better do what you can. Don’t want to see no blood, don’t be a macho man. You want to be tough, better do what you can, so beat it, but you want to be bad.”

For fans that are not aware, this song is quite special to Desiree considering she actually played on the Michael Jackson Cirque De Soleil Immortal World Tour for 3 years until its end in 2013.

Interesting Fact: “Beat It” won 1983 Grammy Awards for Record of the Year and Best Rock Vocal Performance.

This young, gifted, and beautiful guitarist is starting to make strides in the music industry and we can all expect HUGE things from her. 

You Go Girl!

+ Beat It Lyrics +

They told him don’t you ever come around here
Don’t want to see your face, you better disappear
The fire’s 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 want to see no blood, don’t be a macho man
You want to be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you want to be bad

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it

They’re out to get you, better leave while you can
Don’t want to be a boy, you want to be a man
You want to 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 ain’t no truth or dare
They’ll kick you, then they beat you,
Then they’ll tell you it’s fair
So beat it, but you want to be bad

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Beat it, beat it, beat it

No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or who’s right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Beat it, beat it, beat it
