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