Rage Against The Machine - Renegades Of Funk

Renegades Of Funk

No matter how hard you try, you can not stop this now
No matter how hard you try, you can not stop this now
Since The Prehistoric ages and the days of ancient Greece
On down through the Middle Ages
Planet earth kept going through changesAnd then The Reneissonce cameAnd tides continued 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
Were the renegades of funk
Were the renegades of funk
Were the renegades of funk
Were 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 were on this musical mission to help the others listen And grove from land to land, seeking electonic jams
Like Zulu station
Like revaltions
Like destroy all nations
Like destroy all nations
Now renegades are people with their own philosophy
They change the course of history
Everyday people like you and me
We are the renegades, we are the people with our own philosophy
We change the course of history
Everyday people like you and me
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
Were the renegades of funk
Were the renegades of funk
Were the renegades of funk
Were the renegades of funk
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
Say jam sucker
Say jam sucker
Say groove, sucker
Now groove, sucker
Say dance, sucker
Say dance, sucker
Now move, sucker
Now move, sucker
(repeat)
Were the renegades of funk
Were the renegades of funk
Were the renegades of funk
Were the renegades of funk
