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 of this atomic age

This atomic age of renegades

Renegades of this atomic age

This atomic age of renegades



Since the Prehistoric ages and the days of ancient Greece

Right down through the Middle Ages

Planet earth kept going through changes

And then the Renaissance came and times continued to change

Nothing stayed the same but there were always renegades

Like Chief Sitting Bull, Tom Paine

Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcolm X

They were renegades of their 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 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

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', rockin', 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

'Cause we're poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip-hop

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



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

'Cause every time I 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 in those days

To take a man to the dance floor



Say jam sucker (jam)

Say jam sucker (jam)

Say groove sucker (groove)

Say groove sucker (groove)

Say dance sucker (dance)

Say dance sucker (dance)

Now move sucker (move)

Now move sucker (move)
