What Is Hip? (Remastered) - Tower Of Power

So ya wanna dump out yo' trick bag

Ease on in a hip thang

But you ain't just exactly sure what is hip

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 w**d

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 ain't

You went and found you a guru

In an effort to find you a new you

And maybe even managed to raise your conscious level

While 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

You think you know

What is hip

If you really hip

The passing years will show

You on a hip trip

Mayber hipper than hip

What is hip

Think about it y'all

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

What is hip

Tell me tell me

If you think you know

What is hip

If you really hip

The passing years will show

What is hip

Ahh

Id 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

Id like to know

What is hip
