renegades of funk
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now We're the renegades in this atomic age This atomic age of renegades Since the prehistoric ages and the days of ancient Greece On down through the Middle Ages When the earth kept going through changes Then the renaisance came, times continue to change Nothing stays the same, there were always renegades Like Chief Sitting Bull, Tom Payne Doctor Martin Luther King, Malcom X They were renegades of the time and 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 mission to help the others listen And groove from land to land singing electonic chants like Zulu Nation Revelation Destroy all nations Destroy all nations Now renegades are people with their own philosophies They change the course of history Everyday people like you and me We're the renegades, we're the people with our own philosophies 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' poppin', sockin', rockin'with a side of hip-hop 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 big street beat People would gather from all around To get down to the bass 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
