Troy:
Take it back to the place
Where you know it all began
Chad:
We could be anything we wanna be
Troy:
You can tell by the noise
That the boys are back again
Chad:
Together making history
Troy & Chad:
It's time to show how (Troy: to be a superhero)
Just like a showdown (Chad: Will Smith and Bobby De Niro)
We're the best, no doubt (Troy: doing it like we used to do)
This is our time (Troy: and I'm telling you) all
The boys are back, the boys are back
The boys are back, gonna do it again
Gonna wake up the neighborhood
The boys are back, the boys are back (Chad: yeah)
Climbing up the walls anytime we want
The word is out, the boys are back
The boys are back, back to save the day
The boys are back, oh yeah

Keep coming with the right
Win the fight every single time

Undefeated here in our house, yeah

We can rock, we can shock
Anytime we like
Chad:
And tonight we're going all out
Troy & Chad:
It's time to show how (Troy: to be a superhero)
Just like a showdown (Chad: keep the pedal to the metal)
We're the best, no doubt (Troy: doing it like we used to do)
