🎶 If You Have to Ask song analysis
The song is about a wannabe gangster who thinks he's tough and robs banks, but the protagonist doesn't like him. The protagonist is into funk music and talks about his search for a romantic partner, who he calls his "soul-bride". He feels good and doesn't care about what other people think of him. The chorus says that if you have to ask what being funky is, you'll never understand.
