Intro
No matter [E5]how hard you try, you can't stop us now[G5]
No matter [E5]how hard you try, you can't stop us now[G5]
We're the [E5]renegades of this atomic age
This [G5]atomic age of renegades
[E5]Renegades of this atomic age
This [G5]atomic age of renegades
Verse
Since the [Em]Pre-historic ages and the days of ancient Greece
Right [G]down through the Middle Ages, planet Earth kept going through changes
And [Em]then the Renaissance came and times continued to change
[G]Nothing stayed the same, but there were always renegades
Like Chief [Em]Sitting Bull, Tom Paine, Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcolm X
They were [G]renegades of their time and age, so many renegades
Chorus
[Em] [G]We're the renegades of funk, we're the renegades of funk
[Em] [G]We're the renegades of funk, we're the renegades of funk
Verse
From a [Em]different solar system, many many galaxies away
We are the [G]force of another creation, a new musical revelation
And we're [Em]on this musical mission to help the others listen
And [G]groove from land to land singin' electronic chants like
[E5]Zulu nation
[E5]Revelations
[E5]Destroy our nations
[E5]Destroy our nations
[E5]Destroy our nations
[E5]Destroy our nations
[E5]Destroy our nations
[E5]Destroy our nations
Now [Em]renegades are the people with their own philosophies
They change the [G]course of history, everyday people like you and me
We're the [Em]renegades, we're the people with our own philosophies
We change the [G]course of history, everyday people like you and me, c'mon
Chorus
[Em] [G]We're the renegades of funk, we're the renegades of funk
[Em] [G]We're the renegades of funk, we're the renegades of funk
Verse
[Em]Poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip-hop
'Cause [Em]where we're goin', there ain't no stoppin'
[G]Poppin', sockin', rockin', puttin' a side of hip-hop
'Cause [G]where we're goin', there ain't no stoppin'
[Em]Poppin' and sockin' and rockin' and puttin' a side of hip-hop 'cause we're
[G]Poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip-hop
[G]Poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip-hop
Chorus
[Em] [G]We're the renegades of funk, we're the renegades of funk
[Em] [G]We're the renegades of funk, we're the renegades of funk
Special
We're [B]teachers of the funk, and not of empty popping
[B]Blessed with the force and the sight of electronics
With the [B]bass, the treble, the horns, and our vocals
'Cause [B]every time I pop into the beat, we get fresh
Break
There [E5]was a time when our music
Was [E5]something called the Bay Street beat
People would [E5]gather from all around
To get [E5]down to the big sound
You had to be a [E5]renegade in those days
To take a [E5]man to the dance floor
Say [Em]"Jam sucker" ("Jam sucker")
Say [Em]"Jam sucker" ("Jam sucker")
Say [G]"Groove sucker" ("Groove sucker")
Now [G]groove sucker ("Groove sucker")
Say [Em]"Dance sucker" ("Dance sucker")
Say [Em]"Dance sucker" ("Dance sucker")
Say [G]"Move sucker" ("Move sucker")
Now [G]move sucker ("Move sucker")
Say [Em]"Jam sucker" ("Jam sucker")
Say [Em]"Jam sucker" ("Jam sucker")
Say [G]"Groove sucker" ("Groove sucker")
Now [G]groove sucker ("Groove sucker")
Say [Em]"Dance sucker" ("Dance sucker")
Say [Em]"Dance sucker" ("Dance sucker")
Say [G]"Move sucker" ("Move sucker")
Now [G]move sucker ("Move sucker")
Chorus
[Em] [G]We're the renegades of funk, we're the renegades of funk
[Em] [G]We're the renegades of funk, we're the renegades of funk
[Em] [G]We're the renegades of funk, we're the renegades of funk
[Em] [G]We're the renegades of funk, we're the renegades of funk
