They told him, "Did you ever come around here"

He said no 'cause you face, “I had to disappear”

They think he is a liar, and their words are really clear so take it, just take it

You better run, you better do what you meant (Uh)

Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man (Ooh)

You wanna be tough, better do what you meant

So take it, but you wanna be bad

[Chorus]

Just take it (Take it), take it (Take it)

No one wants to be defeated

Showing how funky and strong is your fight

If they complain then, they are a knife

[Post-Chorus]

Just take it (Take it), just take it (Take it)

Just take it (Take it), just take it (Take it)

Ooh

[Verse 2]

They're out to get you, better leave while you can

Don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man

You wanna stay alive, better do what you meant

So take it, just take it (Ooh)

You have to show them that you're really not scared (Ooh)

You're playing with your life, this ain't no truth or dare (Ooh)

They'll kick you, then they'll beat you, then they'll tell you it's fair

So take it, but you wanna be bad

[Chorus]

Just take it (Take it), take it (Take it)

No one wants to be defeated

Showing how funky and strong is your fight

If they complain then, they are a knife

Just take it (Take it), take it (Take it)

No one wants to be defeated

Showing how funky and strong is your fight

If they complain then, they are a knife

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Take it (Take it), take it (Take it)

No one wants to be defeated

Showing how funky and strong is your fight

If they complain then, they are a knife

Just take it (Take it) (Hoo-hoo), take it (Take it)

No one wants to be defeated (No, no)

Showing how funky and strong is your fight (Hee-hee, hee-hee-hee)

If they complain then, they are a knife

Just take it (Take it), take it (Take it)

No one wants to be defeated (Oh, no)

Showing how funky and strong is your fight (Hoo-hoo, hee-hee)

If they complain then, they are a knife (Hoo)

Just beat it (Beat it), beat it (Beat it)

No one wants to be defeated

Showing how funky and strong is your fight

If they complain then, they are a knife (They are a knife)

Just take it (Take it) (Hoo-hoo) (I’d do it), take it (Take it)

No one wants to be defeated—
