Renegades Of Funk
(Afrika Bambaata)
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now
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
Assimilation
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'
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 sucka
Say jam sucka
Say groove, sucka
Now groove, sucka
Say dance, sucka
Say dance, sucka
Say move, sucka
Now move, sucka
We're the renegades of funk
