No matter how hard you try
You can't stop this now
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop this now
Renegades of this atomic age
This atomic age for renegades
Renegades of this atomic age
This atomic age for renegades
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, Malcolm X
They were renegades
Yes, the renegades
Of the atomic age
So many renegades
Hand clap, now hand clap
The renegades
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
Improve momentum and
Seek the electronic chance
Like astrology
Like technology
Like God's creation
Like Zulu's nation
Like to the nation
Like destroy all nations
Like militants
Like down in sand
Like through changes
Nothing stays the same
Oh, renegades
Ah, yes I know
Now renegades are the people
With their own philosophies
They change the course of history
Everyday people
Like you and me
You know they have
Their secret notions
And time is a endless motion
All people of the moderate ages
Here in this twentieth century
You have to keep up in time
With the moderate time
Have a state of mind and a sense of pride
Oh renegade, yes a renegade
Of this time and age
So many renegades
Who's that, now hand clap
The renegades
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
(Yeah, poppin', sockin', rockin')
(With a side of hip-hop)
We're the renegades of funk
(Because where we're goin'
(There ain't no stoppin')
Yeah, poppin', sockin', rockin'
With a side of hip-hop
Because where we're goin'
There ain't no stoppin'
Oh yes, we're poppin', sockin' rockin'
With a side of hip-hop
Because where we're goin'
There is really no way
Poppin', sockin', rockin'
With a side of hip-hop
Because where we're goin'
There ain't no stoppin'
You know we're poppin', sockin', rockin'
With a side of hip-hop
Because where we're goin'
There is no stoppin'
Yes we're 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
Poppin', sockin', rockin'
With a side of hip-hop
Oh yeah, yes we're poppin', sockin', rockin'
With a side of hip-hop
Poppin', sockin', rockin'
With a side of hip-hop
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
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
Like Afrika Bambattaa
And the Soulsonic Force
We're talking about Mr. B, Pow Wow, G L O B E
Was a renegade, yes, a renegade of the atomic age
So many renegades, what's that
It's a hand clap, the renegade
Just jam sucker
(Jam sucker)
Say jam sucker
(Jam sucker)
Say groove, sucker
(Groove sucker)
Say groove, sucker
(Groove sucker)
Say dance, sucker
(Dance sucker)
Say dance, sucker
(Dance sucker)
Now move, sucker
(Move sucker)
Now move, sucker
(Move sucker)
Everybody say, we're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
Shake that thing
That makes me swing
I got some great
He's a renegade of funk
Mr. Biggs, he's a renegade of funk
Bambaataa, he's a renegade of funk
Pow Wow, he's a renegade of funk
And MC Globe, he's a renegade of funk
