[Intro]
| Dm7 | Dm7 | Dm7 | Dm7 Dm13 |
| Dm7 | Dm7 | Dm7 | Dm7 Dm13 |

[Verse 1]
Dm7
A wanna be gangster thinkin' he's a wise guy
Dm7
Rob another bank, he's a sock 'em in the eye guy
Dm7
Tank head, Mr. Bonnie and Clyde guy
Dm7                                          Dm13
Look him the eye, he's not my kinda guy

Dm7
Never wanna be confusion proof
Dm7
Pudding's sweet but too aloof
Dm7
Orange eye girl with a backslide dew said
Dm7                         Dm13
Yo homie, who you talkin' to?

Dm7
A backed up paddywagon mackin' on a cat's ass
Dm7
One uppercut to the cold upper middle class
Dm7
Born to storm on boredom's face
Dm7                                           Dm13
And a little lust to the funky ass Flea bass

Dm7
Most in the race just lose their grace
Dm7
The blackest hole in all of space
Dm7
Crooked as a hooker, now suck my thumb
Dm7                                   Dm13
Anybody wanna come get some?

[Chorus]
C7
(If you have to ask) You'll never know
C7
Funky motherfuckers will not be told to go
C7
(If you have to ask) You'll never know
C7
Funky motherfuckers will not be told to go

[Interlude]
| Dm7 | Dm7 | Dm7 | Dm7 Dm13 |
| Dm7 | Dm7 | Dm7 | Dm7 Dm13 |

[Verse 2]
Dm7
Don't ask me why I'm flyin' so high
Dm7
Mr. Bubble meets superfly in my third eye
Dm7
Searchin' for a soul-bride, she's my freakette
Dm7                                            Dm13
Soak it up inside, deeper than a secret

Dm7
Much more than meets the eye
Dm7
To the funk, I fall into my new ride
Dm7
My hand, my hand
Dm7                            Dm13
Magic on the one is a medicine man

Dm7
Thinkin' of a few taboos that I ought to kill
Dm7
Dancin' on their face like a stage on Vaudeville
Dm7
I feel so good can't be understood
Dm7                                         Dm13
Booty of a hoodlum rockin' my red hood

[Chorus]
C7
(If you have to ask) You'll never know
C7
Funky motherfuckers will not be told to go
C7
(If you have to ask) You'll never know
C7
Funky motherfuckers will not be told to go
