No matter how hard you try, you can’t stop this now
No matter how hard you try, you can’t stop this now
Prehistoric ages and the days of ancient Greece
On down through the Middle Ages
When the earth kept going through changes
There’s a business going on, cars continue to change
Nothing stays the same, there were always renegades
Like Chief Sitting Bull, Tom Payne
Like Martin Luther King, Malcom X
They were renegades of the atomic age
So many renegades
We’re the Renegades of Funk
From a different solar system many many galaxies away
We are the force of another creation
A new musical revelation
And we’re on this musical message to help the others listen
I’mprove momentum and seek the electonic chance
Like the Zulu station
Revelation
Destroy all nations
Destroy all nations
Now renegades are people with their own philosophy
They change the course of history
Everyday people like you and me
We’re the renegades, we’re the people with our own philosophy
We change the course of history
Everyday people like you and me
We’re the renegades of funk
Poppin’, sockin’, rockin’ with a side of hip-hop
Because where we’re goin’ there ain’t no stoppin’
Poppin’, sockin’, rockin’ with a side of hip-hop
Because where we’re goin’ there ain’t no stoppin’
We’re the renegades of funk
We’re teachers of the funk
And not of empty popping
We’re blessed with the Force and the sight of
electronics
With the bass, and the treble
The horns and our vocals
You know everytime we pop into the beat we get fresh (c’mon!)
There was a time when our music
Was something called the Bay Street beat
People would gather from all around
To get down on the Bay sound
You had to be a renegade those days
To take a man on the dance floor
Say jam sucker
Say jam sucker
Say groove, sucker
Now groove, sucker
Say dance, sucker
Say dance, sucker
Say move, sucker
Now move, sucker
We’re the renegades of funk
