What is Hip?

So you wanna dump out yo trick bag

Ease on into a hip bag

But you ain't just exactly sure what's hip

So you start to let your hair grow

Spent big bucks on your wardrobe

But somehow you know there's much more to the trip

What is hip? Tell me tell me, if you think ya know

What is hip? And if you're really hip, the passing years will show

That you into a hip trip, maybe hipper than hip

But what is hip?

So you became part of the new breed

Been smoking only the best ****

Hanging out with so-called hippest set

Been seen in all the right places

Seen with just the right faces

You should be satisfied

But still it ain't quite right

What is hip? Tell me tell me if you think you know

What is hip? And if you're really hip

The passing years would show

That you into a hip trip, maybe hipper than hip

What is hip?

Hipness is what it is

Sometimes hipness is what it ain't

You done went and found you a guru

In an effort to find you a new you

And maybe even managed to raise your conscience level

As you're striving to find the right road

There's one thing you should know

What's hip today might become passe'

What is hip? Tell me tell me if you think you know

What is hip? And if you're really hip, the passing years would show

That you into a hip trip. Maybe hipper than hip

What is hip?
