No matter how hard
you try, you can't stop us now
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now

Renegades of this atomic age
This atomic age for renegades
Renegades of this atomic age
This atomic age for renegades

Since the Prehistoric ages and the days of ancient Greece
On down through the Middle Ages
Planet earth kept going through changes
And then no renaissance came, and times continued to change
Nothing stays the same, but there were always renegades
Like Chief Sitting Bull, Tom Payne
Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcom X
They were renegades of the time and age
So many 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

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 singin' electronic chants
Like Zulu nation
Revelations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations

Now renegades are the 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 philosophies
We change the course of history
Everyday people like you and me
C'mon

We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk

Poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip-hop
Because where we're goin' there ain't no stoppin'
Poppin', sockin', puttin' a side of hip-hop
Because where we're goin' there ain't no stoppin'
Poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip-hop
Because we're poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip-hop

Poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip-hop
(Repeat)

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 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 to the big 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
Say groove, sucker
Say dance, sucker
Say dance, sucker
Now move, sucker
Now move, sucker

Repeat

We're the renegades of funk
