Lyrics

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 weed
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?
