[Intro]
Born on an island in the heavens
The blood of my ancestors flow through me

[Chorus]
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 are solid or frail
Unlike the rest I'm independent
From my first breath, first test
Feel the right, then the worst's left

[Verse 1]
I ain't gonna let it get to me
I'm just gonna creep
Down in Pumpkin Hill, I got to find my lost piece
I know that it's here, I can sense it in my feet
The great emerald's power allows me to feel
I can't see a thing but it's around somewhere
Gonna hold my head 'cause I have no fear
This probably seems crazy, a graveyard theory
A ghost tried to approach me and he got leery
I will be the one to set your heart free true
Cleanse yourself of evil spirits that's in you

[Chorus]
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 are solid or frail
Unlike the rest I'm independent
From my first breath, first test
Feel the right, then the worst's left

[Verse 2]
Knock knock, it's Knuckles
The blow thrower
Independent flow-er
Magical Emerald holder
Knock knock, it's Knuckles
Knock knock, it's Knuckles

The new porcupine on the block
With the puffed chest
Out the wilderness with the ruggedness
Knock knock, it's Knuckles
The blow thrower
Independent flow-er
Magical Emerald holder
Give-eh you the coldest 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 it on by myself
Adversaries get shelved

Knock knock, it's Knuckles
The blow thrower
Independent flow-er
Magical Emerald holder
I don't need a posse, I get it on by myself
Adversaries get shelved
Oh

[Chorus]
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 are solid or frail
Unlike the rest I'm independent
From my first breath, first test
Feel the right, then the worst's left
[Verse 3]
I ain't gonna let it get to me
I'm just gonna creep
Down in Pumpkin Hill, I got to find my lost piece
I know that it's here, I can sense it in my feet
And the great emerald's power allows me to feel

[Outro]
The new porcupine on the block
With the puffed chest
Out the wilderness with the ruggedness
Knock knock, it's Knuckles
The blow thrower
Independent flow-er
Magical Emerald holder
Give-eh you the coldest shoulder
My spike goes through boulders
Knock knock, it's Knuckles
I stay a loner
Adversaries get shelved
