FY’I -
“Lyrics” are the words, usually written or spoken. If you are singing you are recording the “vocals”. You might say lyrics if you are rapping. If you Google “White Christmas lyrics”, you’ll get the words, not a vocal track.
[u]“Beat”[/u] is the timing (4/4 time at 100 beats per minute, etc.). You have a “backing track”. Rappers sometimes call the backing track the beat, and I assume this came from beatboxing “scratching”/sampling records. You could sat “Give me a beat” to the drummer or to the DJ in a rap/hip-hop group.
