We're teachers of the funk
Like Martin Luther King, Malcolm X
Pow Wow, he's a renegade of funk
There ain't no stoppin'
Like Zulu's nation
Poppin', sockin', rockin'
With a side of hip-hop
Improve momentum and
(Yeah, poppin', sockin', rockin')
The horns and our vocals
That makes me swing
There ain't no stoppin'
Oh renegade, yes a renegade
Because where we're goin'
Poppin', sockin', rockin'
(Move sucker)
Say dance, sucker
Say dance, sucker
There is no stoppin'
Now move, sucker
Just jam sucker
Prehistoric ages
With a side of hip-hop
(Jam sucker)
We're the renegades of funk
With a side of hip-hop
Hand clap, now hand clap
To get down on the 'Bay sound'
With a side of hip-hop
There's a business going on
With the moderate time
Oh, renegades
We're the renegades of funk
And the days of ancient Greece
Because where we're goin'
We are the force of another creation
And not of empty popping
The renegades
With a side of hip-hop
With a side of hip-hop
Because where we're goin'
No matter how hard you try
Say groove, sucker
(Jam sucker)
Yeah, poppin', sockin', rockin'
Renegades of this atomic age
Here in this twentieth century
Have a state of mind and a sense of pride
Many many galaxies away
Nothing stays the same
Who's that, now hand clap
(Because where we're goin'
Ah, yes I know
There is really no way
The renegades
Like down in sand
(Dance sucker)
We're the renegades of funk
You can't stop this now
A new musical revelation
Poppin', sockin', rockin'
There ain't no stoppin'
Like you and me
So many renegades, what's that
(There ain't no stoppin')
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
Bambaataa, he's a renegade of funk
Like astrology
We're the renegades of funk
This atomic age for renegades
With a side of hip-hop
Like technology
(Groove sucker)
We're the renegades of funk
Of this time and age
With their own philosophies
Cars continue to change
(Move sucker)
Because where we're goin'
So many renegades
People would gather from all around
With the bass and the treble
It's a hand clap, the renegade
Now move, sucker
Like Afrika Bambattaa
(Groove sucker)
Like militants
We're the renegades of funk
And time is a endless motion
You know they have
Oh yes, we're poppin', sockin' rockin'
Was a renegade, yes, a renegade of the atomic age
We're the renegades of funk
They change the course of history
We're talking about Mr. B, Pow Wow, G L O B E
And we're on this musical message
Say groove, sucker
Like destroy all nations
And the sight of electronics
You know we're poppin', sockin', rockin'
With a side of hip-hop
Like to the nation
Poppin', sockin', rockin'
We get fresh
(Dance sucker)
Like God's creation
Nothing stays the same
All people of the moderate ages
You had to be a renegade those days
I got some great
On down through the middle ages
So many renegades
Seek the electronic chance
There were always renegades
Shake that thing
We're the renegades of funk
Now renegades are the people
Yes, the renegades
There was a time when our music
From a different solar system
They were renegades
Of the atomic age
Everybody say, we're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
Renegades of this atomic age
With a side of hip-hop
You know everytime we pop into the beat
Their secret notions
Was something called the 'Bay Street beat
When the earth kept going through changes
To take a man on the dance floor
You have to keep up in time
We're blessed with the force
Say jam sucker
Like through changes
To help the others listen
Oh yeah, yes we're poppin', sockin', rockin'
Because where we're goin'
We're the renegades of funk
And the Soulsonic Force
Like Chief Sitting Bull, Tom Payne
He's a renegade of funk
Yes we're poppin', sockin', rockin'
Everyday people
This atomic age for renegades
Mr. Biggs, he's a renegade of funk
We're the renegades of funk
(With a side of hip-hop)
