ACADECA

ACADECA (Academic Decathlon) is the fourth of six songs featured in My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Friendship Games . In this montage sequence, the Canterlot High School Wondercolts and the Crystal Prep Academy Shadowbolts mock each other and try to bring down each other's spirits.

The song title was first seen on Kaylee Johnston's website. It serves as the eighth track on the soundtrack album My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Friendship Games - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, under the title Acadeca. The soundtrack version has slightly different lyrics during Sunset's bridge.

Production[ ]

On the My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Friendship Games DVD/Blu-ray audio commentary, Daniel Ingram mentions that this song was originally written as a rap, but was considered "really cheesy", and was turned into a song. He also notes that, because both two groups were sung by the same choir, to differentiate between them, the choir was told to sound "really obnoxious" for the Shadowbolts and sound "really nice" for the Wondercolts.

Lyrics[ ]

[Sunset Shimmer and Wondercolts]

Ho! We're gonna take you down

Ho! We're gonna take you down!

Take you down! (Ho! We're gonna take you down!)

Take you down! (Down, down, down)

[Sci-Twi and Shadowbolts]

(Oh oh!) We're here to take you out

(Aw aw!) We're here to take you out (Aw aw!)

Take you out! (We're here to take you out!)

Take you out!

[Wondercolts]

We're not about to let you win, so get out of our way

Think you got us beat, but we're here to stay

United strong, yeah, we'll take you down

You're not so tough, now you're in our town

All of the times we lost before

Not about to give up, we're only bringin' it more

We can smell your fear, we can see your sweat

Hope you didn't spend money 'cause you're losin' this bet!

You've got nothin' on us

Na, na, na-na-na, na

Let's go, Wondercolts!

You've got nothin' on us

Na, na, na-na-na, na

Let's go, Wondercolts!

[Shadowbolts]

Talk a little too much for a school that never wins

Maybe you should just stop 'fore you even begin

We are Crystal Prep High and we have a reputation

Every little moment is about our education

Put your ear to the ground

Listen to that sound

You're a house of cards

And it's about to fall down (fall down)

About to fall down (fall down), hit the ground

You've got nothin' on us

Na, na, na-na-na, na

Let's go, Shadowbolts!

You've got nothin' on us

Na, na, na-na-na, na

Let's go, Shadowbolts!

[Wondercolts]

Pressure's on, now we're gonna beat you

Step aside, it's time that we defeat you

Crystal Prep yourself 'cause you're about to go

Down, down, down, down

[Shadowbolts]

Pressure's on, you know we're gonna take you

Just give up before we have to break you

Canter-not-a-lot, you're about to go

Down, down, down, down

[Wondercolts]

Take it up to the top

'Cause we know we can win

[Shadowbolts]

Maybe you should just stop

'Cause we've seen you give in

[Wondercolts]

We believe in ourselves

And we've got what it takes

[All]

And we're not gonna stop

[Sci-Twi]

I can't wait 'til this is all over

There's so much more that's going on

[Sunset Shimmer]

And before these games are over

I'll find out just what she's done

[All]

Can she do it? Will she make it?

Who will win it? Who will take it?

Can she do it? Who will take it?

Did she win it? Did she make it?

Who's the winner? Who's the reject?

How did she answer?

Principal Cinch: Incorrect!
