If You Have to Ask lyrics

[Verse 1]
A wanna be gangster thinkin' he's a wise guy
Rob another bank, he's a sock 'em in the eye guy
Tank-head, Mr. Bonnie and Clyde guy
Look him in the eye, he's not my kinda guy
Never wanna be confusion proof
A pudding's sweet but too aloof
A orange-eyed girl with a backslide dew said
"Yo, homie, who you talkin' to?"
Backed up paddywagon mackin' on a cat's ass
One uppercut to the cold upper middle class
Born to storm on boredom's face
Add a little lust to the funky ass Flea bass
Most in the race just lose their grace
The blackest hole in all of space
Crooked as a hooker, now suck my thumb
Anybody wanna come get some?

[Chorus]
(If you have to ask) You'll never know
Funky motherf*cker will not be told to go
(If you have to ask) You'll never know
Funky motherf*cker will not be told to go

[Verse 2]
Don't ask me why I'm flyin' so high
Mr. Bubble meets superfly in my third eye
Searchin' for a soul-bride, she's my freakette
Soak it up inside, deeper than a secret
Much more than meets the eye
To the funk, I fall into my new ride
My hand, my hand
Magic on the one is a medicine man
Thinkin' of a few taboos that I ought to kill
Dancin' on their face like a stage in Vaudeville
I feel so good, can't be understood
Booty of a hoodlum, rockin' my red hood
[Chorus]
(If you have to ask) You'll never know
Funky motherf*cker will not be told to go
(If you have to ask) You'll never know
Funky motherf*cker will not be told to go

[Guitar Solo]
