(Verse 1 - Backstreet Boys)
(Nick) Yeah, you've been talking all that smack, thinking you're the one
But you're just a flash in the pan, a new star under the sun
We've been doing this since '93, a legacy etched in stone
Selling out arenas, on a throne we've made our own
You had your puppets on a string, a boy band made to last a minute
But we're the kind of fire that burns, forever and right up in it
You can try to dance your fancy steps, or swing across the stage
But we're the ones who wrote the book, turning every single page.
(Verse 2 - NSYNC)
(Justin) We see you standing there, still in your denim, trying to look cool
Talking like you're legends, but you're just stuck in high school
We had the diamond albums, the iconic moves you could never steal
Brought the whole world to its knees with a sound that felt so real
You might have had the start, but we had the pop revolution
We're the boys that changed the game, a musical evolution
So go ahead and sing your slow jams, all your ballads and your pleas
We're taking over everything with an army on their knees.
(Chorus)
(All) Oh, it's a pop king showdown, two empires collide
Gonna bring the house down, nowhere left to hide
We got the beats that move you, the moves you can't resist
This ain't no friendly battle, it's the fight for number one on the list
We're larger than life, a force you can't deny
It's time to say bye bye bye, to your reign and all your lies
The king of the boy bands, a title we will claim
So step aside and bow down, because we're ready for the fame.
(Bridge)
(JT & Nick) We've been friends and rivals, for so long, we can't pretend
We've watched each other rise and fall, until the very end
But tonight the gloves are off, no holding back at all
We're here to settle this, standing tall above it all
One last shot for glory, one final epic fight
Who will be remembered, shining in the fading light?
The crowds are screaming names, the tension fills the air
This is the moment we've been waiting for, a moment we can share.
(Chorus)
(All) Oh, it's a pop king showdown, two empires collide
Gonna bring the house down, nowhere left to hide
We got the beats that move you, the moves you can't resist
This ain't no friendly battle, it's the fight for number one on the list
We're larger than life, a force you can't deny
It's time to say bye bye bye, to your reign and all your lies
The king of the boy bands, a title we will claim
So step aside and bow down, because we're ready for the fame.
