He is talking about being beaten up by others. He is not the attacker.
This is a passive construction: get beaten
Using "beat" as a past participle is a mistake but common in street slang.
The difference between "is beaten" and "get beaten" is that the second one is more informal and emphasises a completed process.
I would like to see more context to understand what he meant by "all by myself" here.
