What Is Hip  (LP Version) - Tower Of Power

So ya wanna dump out yo' trick bag
Ease on in a hip thang

But you ain't exactly sure what is hip

So you started to let your hair grow
Spent big bucks on your wardrobe

Somehow  ya know there's much more to the trip

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

What is hip
If you're really hip
The passing years will show

You're into a hip trip

Maybe hipper than hip

What is hip

You became a part of a new breed

Been smokin only the best weed

Hangin' out with the so called Hippie set

Been seen in all the right places
Seen with just the right faces
You should be satisfied  but it ain't quite right

What is Hip
Tell me tell me
You think you know

What is hip
If you really hip
The passing years will show
You on a hip trip

Maybe hipper than hip

What is hip

Hipness is

What it is

Hipness is

What it is

Hipness is

What it is

Sometimes hipness is  what it aint

You went and found you a guru
In an effort to find you a new you

And maybe even raise your conscious level

While youre striving to find the right road

Theres one thing you should know

What's hip today  might become passe

What is Hip
Tell me tell me
You think you know

What is hip
If you really hip
The question is will it show

You on a hip trip

Mayber hipper than hip

What is hip

Think about it yall

What is hip
Tell me tell me
If you think you know

What is hip
If youre really hip
The passing years will show

What is hip

Tell me tell me
If you think you know

What is hip
If you're really hip
The question  "Will it show "
What is hip
Ahhhhhhhhh
What is hip

I'd like to know

What is hip

Is it in the style of your hair
What is hip
Is it in the clothes that you wear

What is hip
I'd like to know

What is hip
I'd like to know

What is hip
What is hip y'all  Hey

What is hip
Hey  Oh

What is hip

What is hip y'all

What is hip

I wanna know

What is hip
Ahhhhhhh
What is hip
I wanna know what hipness is
