If You Have To Ask
Red Hot Chili Peppers

I wanna be a 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

Lock him in the eye, he's not my kinda guy


Never wanna be confusion proof

Oh, pudding's sweet but too aloof

Orange eyed girl with blackslide dew said

Yo homie, who you talkin' to?


A backed up paddywagon mackin' on a cat's ass

One upper cut 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


If you have to ask, you'll never know

Funky motherfucker will not be told to go

If you have to ask, you'll never know

Funky motherfucker will not be told to go

Wow, wow, wow


Don't ask me why I'm flying so high

Mr. Bubble meets superfly in my third eye

Searching 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


If you have to ask, you'll never know

Funky motherfucker will not be told to go

If you have to ask, you'll never know

Funky motherfucker will not be told to go

Wow, wow, wow
