Renegades of Funk

We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
To get down to the big sound
We're poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip hop
To take a man to the dance floor

Say jam sucker, jam
Was something called the Bay Street Beat
Destroy our nations

Poppin', sockin', puttin' a side of hip hop
We're the renegades of funk
And groove from land to land

With the bass and the treble, the horns and our vocals
Say jam sucker, jam

We are the force of another creation
Destroy our nations
And we're on this musical mission
We're teachers of the funk and not of empty popping

Say dance sucker, dance
Now move sucker, move
We're the renegades of funk
We're renegades of this atomic age

Poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip hop
But there were always renegades
We're the renegades of funk

We're the renegades of funk
Say dance sucker, dance
We change the course of history
Singin' electronic chants like
Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcom X
We're the renegades of funk

You had to be a renegade those days
And then no renaissance came
Now groove sucker, groove
We're the renegades of funk
C'mon

Poppin' n' sockin' n' rockin' n' puttin' a side of hip hop
'Cause we're poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip hop
From a different solar system
'Cause where we're goin' there ain't no stoppin'

And the days of ancient Greece
'Cause where we're goin' there ain't no stoppin'

We're the renegades of this atomic age
We're the renegades of funk
Right down through the Middle Ages
Many, many galaxies away
We're the renegades of funk

They were renegades of their time and age
A new musical revelation

Revelations
We're blessed with the force and the sight of electronics
We're the renegades of funk
So many renegades
Now groove sucker, groove

Destroy our nations
We're the renegades of funk
Zulu nation
This atomic age of renegades
Say dance sucker, dance
We're the renegades of funk
Say groove sucker, groove
We're the renegades of funk

Destroy our nations
Say dance sucker, dance
Since the Prehistoric ages
Nothing stayed the same
This atomic age of renegades
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
Say groove sucker, groove
They change the course of history
And times continued to change
Destroy our nations
With their own philosophies
Planet Earth kept going through changes

There was a time when our music
We're the renegades we're the people

Like Chief Sitting Bull, Tom Paine

To help the others listen
We're the renegades of funk
Now renegades are the people

Now move sucker, move

People would gather from all around
Everyday, people like you and me, c'mon
We're the renegades of funk
Destroy our nations
With our own philosophies

Now move sucker, move
Everyday, people like you and me
Say jam sucker, jam
'Cause everytime I pop into the beat, we get fresh
C'mon
We're the renegades of funk
Say jam sucker, jam
Now move sucker, move
