Show you how we Beat It Up

Show you how we Beat It Up

Show you how we Beat It Up

Raise the formation

We are challengers

Show you how we Beat It Up

Show you how we Beat It Up

Show you how we Beat It Up

Break the next wall

We are challengers

You already know how we Beat It Up

Come at me, whoever you are—bring it on

Head to the next stage, quick—giddy up!

I want the game, I want to play

Still not enough

Mic that I choke like it’s MMA

Bare hands, bare feet—no pepper spray

Even if shaken, I keep my poker face

Throw straight the weight of the belt around my waist

So let me Beat It Up

What I’ve achieved

Look, after getting up again

I’ve come to the top

You’re in slow‑mo, wow

Speed it up faster than light

Rush bodies

Touch bodies

Need it, got it

I’ve come fierce every day

(What’s up What’s up)

The numbers are just for forgetting

(What’s up)

Lookin’ at me like

Show you how we Beat It Up

Show you how we Beat It Up

Show you how we Beat It Up

Raise the formation

We are challengers

Show you how we Beat It Up

Show you how we Beat It Up

Show you how we Beat It Up

Break the next wall

We are challengers

Outstanding type

Don’t fall—stand strong

Even if I walk the thorny road

Still handsome

As you know, when I rise

That place is a dance hall

Probably my tempo

Following it is the best

Start

In and out

Sweat pouring everywhere

Get a towel

Lift it up

Make it pow

Beat It Up

Another round

It’s easy to say

It’s harder to do (It’s harder to do now)

You have to go beyond “just enough” – show up

A move beyond the limit, over (and over)

And over (ay ay)

I can’t give any more time

Extend the final hand

Bounce (Bounce)

For me (For me)

Bounce (Bounce)

For me (For me)

Hello my future (Bounce on it)

Time travel Tom Sawyer (Tom Sawyer)

That’s okay, we’re still

So young (So young)

Beat It Up one more

Come on

Show you how we Beat It Up

Show you how we Beat It Up

Show you how we Beat It Up

Raise the formation

We are challengers

Show you how we Beat It Up

Show you how we Beat It Up

Show you how we Beat It Up

Break the next wall

We are challengers

Get up again, act like nothing happened

You have to choose: move or stop

Not even a moment

No gaps—just go

Talking round one, round two

Keep my focus

Watch closely, I’ll get over everything

I can prove it and

I’ll show (yeah)

Inside the frame (uh)

Capture the main character’s story (Story)

Muscle memory

It’s all written

Game theory (Theory)

Left hand, right foot

Swerve in the head

Clear out and the victorious right hand

I think I hit it clean and nice

Show you how we Beat It Up

Show you how we Beat It Up

Show you how we Beat It Up

Raise the formation

We are challengers

Show you how we Beat It Up

Show you how we Beat It Up

Show you how we Beat It Up

Break the next wall

We are challengers
