Lyrics:

No matter how hard you try,
You cant stop this now
No matter how hard you try,
You cant stop this now

Renegades of this atomic age
This atomic age for renegades
Renegades of this atomic age
This atomic age for renegades

Prehistoric ages and the days of ancient Greece
On down through the Middle Ages
When the earth kept going through changes
Theres a business going on,
Cars continue to change
Nothing stays the same,

There were always renegades
Like Chief Sitting Bull, Tom Payne
Like Martin Luther King, Malcom X
They were renegades of the atomic age
So many renegades hand clap,
Hand clap, the renegades

From a different solar system
Many, many galaxies away
We are the force of another creation
A new musical revelation
And were on this musical message
To help the others listen
Improve momentum and seek
The electonic chance

Like astrology
Like technology
Like Gods Creation
Like the Zulu station
Like to the nation
Like destroy all nations
Like militants
Like down in sand
Like through changes
Nothing stays the same
Oh, renegades

Now renegades are people
With their own philosophy
They change the course of history
Everyday people like you and me
You know they have their secret notions
And time is endless motion
All people of the moderate ages
Here in this twentieth century

You have to keep up in time
With the moderate time
A state of mind and a sense of pride
A renegade, yes a renegade
Of this time and age
So many renegades whos that
Now hand clap the renegades

Were the renegades of funk
Were the renegades of funk
Were the renegades of funk
Were the renegades of funk

Poppin, sockin, rockin with a side of hip-hop
Because where were goin there aint no stoppin
You know were poppin, sockin, with a side of hip-hop
Because where were goin there aint no stoppin
Poppin, sockin, rockin with a side of hip-hop
Because where were goin there aint no stoppin
(Repeat)

Were teachers of the funk
And not of empty popping
Were 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

There was a time when our music
Was something called the Bay Street beat
People would gather from all around
To get down on the Bay sound
You had to be a renegade those days
To take a man on the dance floor

Like Afrika Bambattaa and the Soulsonic Force
Were talking about Mr. B, Pow Wow, G-L-O-B-E
Was a renegade, yes, a renegade of the atomic age
So many renegades whats that
Its a hand clap the renegade

Just jam sucker
Say jam sucker
Say groove, sucker
Say groove, sucker
Say dance, sucker
Say dance, sucker
Now move, sucker
Now move, sucker

Everybody say
Were the renegades of funk
Were the renegades of funk
Were the renegades of funk
Were the renegades of funk
Were the renegades of funk
Were the renegades of funk
Were the renegades of funk
Were the renegades of funk

Shake that thing
That makes me swing
I got some great
Hes a renegade of funk
Mr. Biggs
Hes a renegade of funk
Bambaataa
Hes a renegade of funk
Pow Wow
Hes a renegade of funk
And MC Globe
