[Intro – bright krar lute riff, soft kebero drum pulse] Sunlight hits the market square Rhythm hums in every stair [Verse 1 – grooving masenqo melody, layered handclaps] Trouble’s brewing down the street Fists clenched, feet ready to meet Old men shake their heads and sigh Saying “boys, don’t you know why” [Pre-Chorus – building percussion, rising vocal harmonies] You don’t have to prove a thing No need to let the anger sing Turn your back and walk away Live to see another day [Chorus – full ensemble, soaring vocals, energetic krar strums] Just beat it, beat it Don’t wanna see no blood, don’t be a fool Beat it, beat it Walk away before you break the rule Beat it, beat it Your pride ain’t worth the pain you’ll lose Beat it, beat it Choose the path that’s kind and true [Verse 2 – playful masenqo trill, syncopated kebero beats] They’re calling out your name, loud and clear Trying to drag you into their sphere But you’ve got a voice inside that says “Turn around, don’t play their games” [Pre-Chorus – intensifying handclaps, layered vocal ad-libs] You don’t have to fight to win Let your heart be your only kin Step aside from the fiery fray Live to dance another day [Chorus – amplified ensemble, call-and-response vocals, driving percussion] Just beat it, beat it Don’t wanna see no blood, don’t be a fool Beat it, beat it Walk away before you break the rule Beat it, beat it Your pride ain’t worth the pain you’ll lose Beat it, beat it Choose the path that’s kind and true [Solo – fiery krar lute solo, rapid masenqo accompaniment] (Instrumental Solo) [Bridge – stripped-back, soulful vocal, soft krar arpeggios] There’s a better way to stand tall No need to let your anger fall Reach out your hand, make a new start Heal the hurt inside your heart [Final Chorus – full orchestration, joyful vocal harmonies, explosive percussion] Just beat it, beat it Don’t wanna see no blood, don’t be a fool Beat it, beat it Walk away before you break the rule Beat it, beat it Your pride ain’t worth the pain you’ll lose Beat it, beat it Choose the path that’s kind and true [Outro – fading krar riff, soft kebero drum fade] Rhythm fades into the night Hope shines bright, pure and light
