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

I'm hard as nails, it ain't hard to tell

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

Unlike the rest I'm independent

It's my first breath, first test

Feel the right then 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



I will be the one to set your heart free true

Must cleanse yourself of that evil spirit that got in you



Streaking lights, loud sounds, and instinct

Are the elements that keep me going

I am fighting my own mission

Nothing's gonna stand in my way



I will be the one to set your heart free true

Must cleanse yourself of that evil spirit that got 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



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

I'm hard as nails, it ain't hard to tell

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

Unlike the rest I'm independent

It's my first breath, first test

Feel the right then 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



I will be the one to set your heart free true

Must cleanse yourself of that evil spirit that got 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



[Saxophone 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



The new porcupine on the block with the puff chest

Outta the wilderness with the ruggedness

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

Give you the cold shoulder

My spike goes through boulders

That's why I stay a loner

I was born by myself

I don't need a posse; I get in on by myself

Advisories get shelved
