Beat That Guy Lyrics

Burning charge of heart drops like a stone
One you realize you're really alone
Tired as the light in the dull sky
But I got to find a way to beat that guy
I got to find a way

Feel I got to bite if I'm gonna bark
Can't think about slinking out in the dark
You lay down the lot or lay down to die
I better find a way
I got to find a way to beat that guy

Running out of space, I've run out of time
I'm running out of reasons, though I don't know why
Feel I've got to push, feel I've got to shove
I got to find a way to get that love
Rather find a way to beat that guy

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
