I never really liked how the rendition of this in Sonic 3 Complete used Sonic 1 and 2 patches. That hack is long overdue for an update.

I have no idea who composed this music in particular.

I am Sonic! *turns into a discombobulated mess*

In a lucid paradise
You come here to break the time!
I'll make you protagonist
After we play Hide n' S-s-s-s
Leave your sorrows by the entrance
You're already on the exit
Rocks are falling from the sky
All you can feel is sunshine
Let's play a game
For old times sake
Let's play a game
Are you ready-y-y-y?
Welcome to my backdoor
This place was built for you!
Who's always hungry for more
That's why this is Round 2!
*Bf rapping for 14 whole seconds*
Your world's a mirror of yourself
And nevеr the other way around!
In your hand lays all of their criеs
Free-will always has a price!

I'll make you a part of me
Even though you're another piece
Puffing out your chest
With the sky above your head
Holding hands with the death
Falling to the next step
But the scythe didn't make the genocide itself
And it's still the one you blame when you go to hell
In the end you're the one to raise your hand
I just got rid of your chains
Thanks for giving me a chance to meet your soul!

I'M ALREADY IN YOUR MIND
TOGETHER WE'RE GONNA DIE
WHEN WE SEEK, WE ALWAYS FIND
NO MATTER IF WE WASTE SOME TRIES
I'M ALREADY IN YOUR MIND
*AAAAAHHHHHHH*
WHEN WE SEEK WE ALWAYS FIND
NO MATTER IF WE WASTE SOME TRIES
LET YOUR SPIRIT LEAVE OUR BODY
I AM GOD AND YOU'RE NOBODY
I WILL TAKE YOU TO MY WORLD
AND I'LL LEAVE YOU WITHOUT WORD
HIDE AND SEEK, CAN'T YOU SEE?
*exe ahh laugh*
YOU'RE THE ONE I'M LOOKING FOR
THROUGH THE SCREEN I CAN SEE MORE
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la! *shoots himself in the god damn frickin head *
