Afrika Bambaataa The Soulsonic Force - Renegades of Funk Lyrics

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, Malcom X

They were renegades of the atomic age

So many renegades



Hand clap, 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 electonic chance

Like astrology

Like technology

Like God's Creation

Like the Zulu station

Like to the nation

Like destroy all nations

Like militants

Like down in sand

Like through changes ,nothing stays the same

Oh renegades



Now renegades are people with their own philosophy

They change the course of history

Everyday people like you and me

You know they have their secret notions

And time is endless motion

All people of the moderate ages here in this twentieth century

You have to keep up in time with the moderate time

A state of mind and a sense of pride

A 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

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', 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'

(Repeat)



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

Say jam sucker

Say groove, sucker

Say groove, sucker

Say dance, sucker

Say dance, sucker

Now move, sucker

Now 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
