Renegades of Funk (Afrika Bambaataa cover) Lyrics
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now
We're the renegades of this atomic age
This atomic age of renegades
Renegades of this atomic age
This atomic age of renegades
Since the Prehistoric ages and the days of ancient Greece
Right down through the Middle Ages
Planet earth kept going through changes
And then no renaissance came, and times continued to change
Nothing stayed the same, but there were always renegades
Like Chief Sitting Bull, Tom Paine
Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcom X
They were renegades of their time and age
So many renegades
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
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 singin' electronic chants like
Zulu nation
Revelations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Now renegades are the 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
C'mon
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
Poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip-hop
Because where we're goin' there ain't no stoppin'
Poppin', sockin', puttin' a side of hip-hop
Because where we're goin' there ain't no stoppin'
Poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip-hop
'Cause we're poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip-hop
Poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip-hop
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
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
'Cause everytime I 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 to the big sound
You had to be a renegade in those days
To take a man to the dance floor
Say jam sucker
Say jam sucker
Say groove sucker
Say groove sucker
Say dance sucker
Say dance sucker
Now move sucker
Now move sucker
We're the renegades of funk
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now
This atomic age of renegades
Renegades of this atomic age
This atomic age of renegades
Right down through the Middle Ages
Planet earth kept going through changes
And then no renaissance came, and times continued to change
Nothing stayed the same, but there were always renegades
Like Chief Sitting Bull, Tom Paine
Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcom X
They were renegades of their time and age
So many renegades
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
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 singin' electronic chants like
Zulu nation
Revelations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
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
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk

Because where we're goin' there ain't no stoppin'

Hello! the meaning is in the song
"Since the Prehistoric ages and the days of ancient Greece Right down through the Middle Ages Planet earth kept going through changes And then no renaissance came, and times continued to change Nothing stayed the same, but there were always renegades Like Chief Sitting Bull, Tom Paine Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcom X They were renegades of their time and age"
jesus fucking christ
this song is about wearing pants in public places... no it isnt. but i tend to wear pants while listening to it.
you guys dont understand the meaning of the song, so you go about that by joking around. not cool..
your an idiot, its not even their song
your an idiot, its not even their song
i think it is saying that rage against the machine are renegades, they are saying shit through there music ... they are saying they arnt just empty pop...they are real.
Rage didn't even write this song. It was originally done by Afrika Bambaataa in 1986. All the songs on the Renegades CD were covers.
i dont like to have my pants on while i listen to it...
i think its bout a guy who's the renegade of funk lol j/k i duno its a cool song.
-stix-
Sometimes I like to pretend they never made this CD. It's no wonder they broke up after releasing it. They are still the best band ever, but what were they thinking with this CD?
i totally agree with you.
i totally agree with you.
@Puma Man The album consists of artists who influenced their music, life, beliefs and more. In essence it is a tribute to many artists who founded elements of hip hop, rock, folk, and many other musical genres ... I am sure many people discovered these revolutionary artists through a release such as this. I personally thought they did an awesome job of working the songs into their style (and even diversified their music a bit with songs such as "Beautiful World" ... and managed to pull off it to a greater success than I would have imagined).

I am a renegade of my time and age, and this CD isn't THAT bad...but i like every single song rage wrote..accept bullet in the head....it's a good tune...but...i dunno
Actually Polak I believe (pretty sure) it says "Renagades forever and the funk will never die"
