Unknown from M.E. is a rap-like song and the theme of Knuckles the Echidna in Sonic Adventure 2. Another version of the song was used in Sonic Adventure. It is performed by Hunnid-P and Marlon Saunders. Unlike the version for Sonic Adventure, this song is much more programmed, with more electronic loops.
This song is one of the reasons why the game was given the "Mild Lyrics" warning (along with "Deeper" and "Kick the Rock!"), because Knuckles raps "ain't a damn thing funny".
Lyrics
Okay
Something is callin' me - I don't know what (yeah)
Something is talkin' - but I don't know who (yeah)
Something is callin' me - more and more
No one stops knuckles and feet
Something is callin' me - I don't know what (yeah)
Something is talkin' - but I don't know who (yeah)
Something is callin' me - more and more
No one stops knuckles and feet
K-N-U-C-K-L-E-S (uhn)

But everytime he look
Fa da sun, can't find it (uhn)
Is dis da way? Da path I chose? (yeah)
Den why I am livin' wit my heart so cold? (uhn)
All that I see iza storm of stonez
(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
Oh, yeah)
I like ta dig holez in search of gold
Large pots of treasure make me feel much betta
If I fight Eggman, Rouge, whoever
Clench my fist tight, become more reada
I don't wanna hurta my passion observed
Been lonely all my life
Does it matta?
Here fa da mission - whoever want it
Bring it - call me stubborn, but I'm still gon' live it (uhn)
Do anything ta get pieces of da emerald
Climb the mountain, thru da valley, around da hill
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
Nothin's gonna stand in my way, no

Something is callin' me - I don't know what (yeah)
Something is talkin' - but I don't know who (yeah)

They hard as iron and my feet is like fire
You'll never see me run and I won't surrender
