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 rather flex my muscles!
I'm hard as nails,
It ain't hard to tell,
I break 'em down whether they solid or frail,
Unlike the rest, I'm independent,
It's my first breath, first test,
Feel the right then the worst 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 (yeah)!
I will be the one to set your heart free true,
Cleanse yourself of them evil spirits 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 (no)!
I will be the one to set your heart free true,
Cleanse (oh yeah) yourself of them evil spirits that's in you!
Won't be frightened and I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil,
Just believe in myself, won't rely on others,
With 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 rather flex my muscles!
I'm hard as nails,
It ain't hard to tell,
I break 'em down whether they solid or frail,
Unlike the rest I'm independent,
It's my first breath, first test,
Feel the right then the worst 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 (yeah)!
I will be the one to set your heart free true,
Cleanse yourself of evil spirits that got in you!
Won't (oh) be frightened and I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil,
Just believe in myself (ohh...), won't rely on others,
Freedom (oh) will be waiting when serenity is restored,
This is my planet (ohh...), I shall not surrender!
Won't be frightened and I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil,
Just believe in myself, won't rely on others,
With this power to wipe out the havoc and anarchy,
This is my planet, gonna fight...
I won't (oh) be frightened and I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil,
Just believe in myself (ohh...), won't rely on others,
Freedom (oh) will be waiting when serenity is restored,
This is my planet (ohh...), I shall not surrender!
(Yeah! Shall not surrender, no! Yeah! Whoo! Whoo!)
The new porcupine on the block,
With the buff chest,
Out the wilderness,
With the ruggedness,
Knock, knock it's Knuckles,
The bloat thrower,
Independent blower,
Magical Emerald holder,
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,
Adversaries get shelved!

Something is callin' me, I don't know what
Something is talkin', but I don't know who
Something is callin' me more and more
No one stops Knuckles' feet
Something is callin' me, I don't know what
Something is talkin', but I don't know who
Something is callin' me more and more
No one stops Knuckles' feet
K-N-U-C-K-L-E-S
Was born for a lifetime on Angel Island
His duty is to protect Master Emerald diamond
Hold the climate, he's searching for shinin
But everytime he look for the sun, can't find it
Is this the way? The path I chose?
Then why am I livin' with my heart so cold
All can I see is a storm of stones
(born on an island in the heavens)
I like to dig holes in search of gold
Large pots of treasure make me feel much better
(the blood of my ancestors flows inside me)
If I fight Eggman, Rouge, whoever
Clench my fist tight become more ready
(my duty is to save the flower)
I don't wanna hurt her
My passion observed
Been lonely all my life
Does it matter?
(from evil deterioration)
Here for the mission whoever want it bring it
Call me stubborn but I'm still gonna live it
Do anything to get the pieces of the emerald
Climb the mountain, see the valley around the hills
Wild and hungry, ain't a damn thing funny
My philosophy's my knuckles and feet
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
Something is callin' me, I don't know what
Something is talkin', but I don't know who
Something is callin' me more and more
No one stops Knuckles' feet
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
Something is callin' me, I don't know what
Something is talkin', but I don't know who
Something is callin' me more and more
No one stops Knuckles' feet
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
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
I was born like this
To fear no one
I'm straight thugged out
Only live for my ones
Diamonds and gems, keep the battle to the end
You best to be aware of the knuckles that I send
Once they penetrate, they put ya to the death
They hard as iron and my feet is like fire
You'll never see me run and I never surrender
I just fly away like it's no other contender
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!!!!
Something is callin' me, I don't know what
Something is talkin', but I don't know who
Something is callin' me more and more
No one stops Knuckles' feet
Something is callin' me, I don't know what
Something is talkin', but I don't know who
Something is callin' me more and more
No one stops Knuckles' feet
Something is callin' me, I don't know what
Something is talkin', but I don't know who
Something is callin' me more and more
No one stops Knuckles' feet
Something is callin' me, I don't know what
Something is talkin', but I don't know who
Something is callin' me more and more
No one stops Knuckles' feet
