His World

His World doubles as the main theme of the 2006 Sonic the Hedgehog, and as the theme of Sonic in that game. There are three vocal versions of the song and two instrumental ones. The main vocal version that appears in the game is performed by Ali Tabatabaee & Matty Lewis of Zebrahead. The others appear as extras on the game's OST and are performed by the entire Zebrahead band and Crush 40 .

The first version of the song heard was an instrumental in E3 trailers of the game. This song is only used in certain FMVs of the game and is separated into two themes for the OST. A different instrumental is used for the final boss fight of the game. There is also a fourth made by Zebrahead, which isn't official to the game but was played at Summer Of Sonic 2008, English J-Pop artist covered the song in 2008 the song was a lot softer than the crush 40 and Zebrahead Versions plus it was featured at the Summer Of Sonic 2008 in London England

There is a difference in key between some of the versions. The E3 and Crush 40 versions are half a step higher than the others. The game's Speed Shoes/Invincible theme, which is loosely based on the song, uses this same higher key.

Ali Tabatabaee & Matty Lewis Lyrics

Come on and light the fuse

He's a rocket and he's ready to go

Cuz now the countdown's started and he's ready to blow

He's got the dope sounds pumpin' in his stereo-eo

Kickin' ass fast, puttin' on a show

Go on and get yourself together, there's no time rest

And if you put the time in, he'll put you to the test

He's like the running man, in his world, more is less

And if you wanna test him, best bring your best

Don't make me spell it out, bring your best

In this world... His world

Where life is strong

In this world... His world

Life's an open book

In this world... His world

Where compromise does not exist

In his world of worlds every step meets the risk

In this world... His world

Where one is all

In this world... His world

Never fear the fall

In this world... His world

Where compromise does not exist

In his world of worlds every step meets the risk

Running it back again, well whatcha expect?

Coming out to win 10 outta 10, gotta real rough neck

Spikes up his liberty and straps on his shoes

Cuz he's the best there ever was haven't you heard the news?

Intergalactic continental champ running things

Hyperactive instrumental in pulling strings

He is the one who understands when the tides will swing

So he's breaking down doors, never following

Come on and psyche yourself up cuz it's time to play

Bounce to the beats and the rhymes cause they're here to stay

The one and only marathon man living today

Rollin' up, coming fast, and he'll blow you away

Cuz the pressures of this world, they can take their toll

And it's tough to get away when they take a hold

The only way to break free is to break the mold

He can't stop now, lock and load

Don't stop now, come on, rock and roll

In this world... His world

Gotta make your own way

Where life is strong

In this world... His world

Life is just a game you play

Life's an open book

In this world... His world

Nothing's forever here to stay

Where compromise does not exist

In his world of worlds every step meets the risk

In this world... His world

Gotta make your own way

Where one is all

In this world... His world

Life is just a game you play

Never fear the fall

In this world... His world

Nothing's forever here to stay

Where compromise does not exist

In his world of worlds every step meets the risk

-guitar solo-

Light the fuse on his rocket and he's ready to go

Cuz now the countdown has started and he's ready to blow

In this world

Where one is all ?

Intergalactic continental champ running things

Hyperactive instrumental in pulling strings

In this world

Never fear the fall

The only way to break free is to break the mold

You can't stop now, lock and load

I said you can't stop now, lock and load

Don't stop now, come on and rock and roll

Crush 40 Lyrics

Beware of the time as it moves along
Takin' you back always feared and strong
Like the rush of wind he moves on and on and on and on
He's the fire, flame, conflicting pain, untouched , uncrushed and will remain
The one, the two, the three the four
Head straight for an opened door
He can see he can feel without one touch it seems unreal but it's true

The power lives inside of you ( inside of you )yeah

CHORUS:
In this world - his world
Where life is strong
In this world - his world
Life's an open book
In this world - his world
Where compromise does not exist
In his world of worlds every step meets the risk
In this world (his world)
Where one is all
In this world ( his world)
Never fear the fall
In this world (his world)
Where compromise does not exist

In his world of worlds every step meets the risk

Beware of your mind as it proves you wrong
A forward push as the clock strikes strong
Like the rush of wind he movies on and on and on and on
He's the tower, power, admits no shame, untouched ,uncrushed and will remain
The one, the two, the three the four
Head straight for an open door
He can see what he can't feel without one touch it becomes surreal but it's true

The power lives inside of you ( inside of you)..yeah

CHORUS:
In this world - his world
Where life is strong
In this world - his world
Life's an open book
In this world - his world
Where compromise does not exist
In his world of worlds every step meets the risk
In this world (his world)
Where one is all
In this world ( his world)
Never fear the fall
In this world (his world)
Where compromise does not exist

Beware of your mind as it proves you wrong
A forward push as the clock strikes strong In this world - his world

--guitar solo--

CHORUS:
In this world - his world
Where life is strong
In this world - his world
Life's an open book
In this world - his world
Where compromise does not exist
In his world of worlds every step meets the risk
In this world (his world)
Where one is all
In this world ( his world)
Never fear the fall
In this world (his world)
Where compromise does not exist 

Beware of your mind as it proves you wrong
A forward push as the clock strikes strong

Zebrahead version

C'mon and light the fuse, he's a rocket and he's ready to go

'Cause now the countdown has started and it's ready to blow

He's got the dope sounds pumpin' in his stereo (-eo!)

Kickin' ass fast... puttin' on a show

Go on and get yourself together, there's no time to rest

And if you put the time in, he'll put you to the test

He's like the runnin' man, in his world more is less

And if you wanna test him best bring your best

You can't stop now, lock and load

Don't stop now, c'mon and rock n' roll (roll... roll... roll...)!

In this world (His world!) (Gotta make your own way!)

Where one is all

In this world (His world!) (Life is just a game you play!)

Never fear the fall

When you leap without a net, you'll find

It won't be there all the time

So watch your step now

Watch your step, Don't fall!

Runnin' it back again, well, what'dja expect?

Comin' at ya with ten outta ten, got a real rough neck!

Spikes up his liberty, straps on his shoes

'Cause he's the best there ever was, haven't you heard the news?

C'mon and psyche yourself up, 'cause it's time to play

Bounce to the beats and the rhymes 'cause they're here to stay

The one and only marathon man livin' the day

Movin' up, comin' fast, and he'll blow you away

You can't stop now, lock and load

Don't stop now, c'mon, rock n' roll (roll... roll... roll...)!

Hyperactive instrumental with pulling strings (Hey! Hey!)

Bentley Jones/Lee Brotherton Lyrics + Info

During the Summer of Sonic’s 2008 live performance featuring Richard Jacques and TJ Davis, Lee Brotherton pulled a rabbit out of the hat and surprised everyone with a brand new version of HIS WORLD. Nice, slow and chilled out, this re-interpretation of the Zebrahead classic features brand new lyrics, and is the official theme song to the Summer of Sonic 2008 convention,

You can not run You can not hide

'Cause we can see your strength inside

In this you fall, if you may falter

We'll be with you That will not alter

He can see and he can feel without one touch
It becomes surreal
But it's true
The power lives inside of you Inside of you, yeah

CHORUS:

In this world
Where life is strong
In this world
Life's an open book
In this world
Where compromise does not exist
In this world of worlds
Where every step meets the rest
In this world
Where one is all
In this world
Never fear the fall
In this world
Where compromise does not exist
In this world of worlds
Every step meets the rest

ドアをぶち壊し　誰の言う事だって聞きやしない

ビートに乗るんだ　リズムをつかめ

こんな時代の唯一モンホンのタフガイさ

スピンしながらダッシュしながら　ヤツはあんたをぶっ飛ばすだろう

プレッシャーは大変なもんさ　心をボロボロにする

一度はまっちまったら　追っ払うのはハードだぜ

そいつをぶっ壊すには自分の殻をぶち破ること

ヤツは止まらない　準備を急げ

止まるな　わかっているだろう　やるしかないのさ

ようこそ　ヤツのワールドへ
