(rap)

Here I come, rougher than the rest of them

The best of them, tougher than leather

You can call me Knuckles, unlike Sonic I don't chuckle

I'd rather flex my muscles

My heart is nails, it ain't hard to tell

I break 'em down whether they're solid or frail

Unlike the rest I'm independent since my first breath

First test, feel the right, than the worst's left



Born on an island in the heavens

The blood of my ancestors flows inside me

My duty is to save the flower

From evil deterioration



(rap)

Yo, I will be the one to set your heart free, true

Cleanse yourself of that evil spirit that's in you



Streaking lights, loud sounds, and instincts

Are the elements that keep me going

I am fighting my own mission

Nothing's gonna stand in my way



(rap)

Yo, I will be the one to set your heart free, true

Cleanse yourself of that evil spirit that's in you



Won't be frightened, I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil

Just believe in myself, won't rely on others

Get this power to wipe out the havoc and anarchy

This is my planet, gonna fight for my destiny



(rap)

Here I come, rougher than the rest of them

The best of them, tougher than leather

You can call me Knuckles, unlike Sonic I don't chuckle

I'd rather flex my muscles

My heart is nails, it ain't hard to tell

I break 'em down whether they're solid or frail

Unlike the rest I'm independent since my first breath

First test, feel the right, than the worst's left



I have no such things as weak spots

Don't approve of him, but gotta trust him

This alliance has a purpose

This partnership is only temporary



(rap)

Yo, I will be the one to set your heart free, true

Cleanse yourself of that evil spirit that's in you



Won't be frightened, I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil

Just believe in myself, won't rely on others

Freedom will be waiting when serenity is restored

This is my planet, I shall not surrender



(Sax solo)



Won't be frightened, I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil

Just believe in myself, won't rely on others

Get this power to wipe out the havoc and anarchy

This is my planet, gonna fight



Won't be frightened, I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil

Just believe in myself, won't rely on others

Freedom will be waiting when serenity is restored

This is my planet, I shall not surrender



(Rap)

The new porcupine on the block with the puff chest

In the wilderness with the ruggedness

Knock, knock, it's Knuckles, the bloat thrower

Independent flowwer, Master Emerald holder

I'll give you the colder shoulder

My spikes go through boulders

That's why I stay a loner

I was born by myself, I don't need a posse

I get it on by myself, advisaries get shelved
