Here [bad word]  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 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 

        I will be the one to set your heart free, [bad word] 
        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 

        I will be the one to set your heart free, [bad word] 
        Cleanse yourself of them evil spirits 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

        I have no such things as weak spots 
        Don't approve of him, but gotta [bad word] him 
        This alliance has a purpose 
        This partnership is only temporary 

        I will be the one to set your heart free, [bad word] 
        Cleanse yourself of evil spirits that got in you 

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

        Freedom will be waiting when serenity is restored

        The new porcupine on the block with the buff chest 
        In the wilderness with [bad word] 
        Knock, knock, it's Knuckles, the blow thrower 
        Independent flower, Magical Emerald holder 
        I'll give you the coldest 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, advisories get shelved
