Lyrics
I'M HIP
Well I'm hip....I'm cool
It's what all my friends tell me
So it's got to be true
Yes I'm hip...Prime Time
I make things happen when I'm not even tryin'
I walk in---it all stops
My sly grin---get's 'em all hot
Never pushy all in good taste
A 'tude like mine can't ever miss
Cause I'm hip...I'm COOL
Ain't nobody like me old or new school
Don't need no gold teeth, no fancy grille No bag of candy...no bubbly swill
So deep I feel ya SOUL to SOUL
Just one more thing you oughta know
I was born to simply Rock and Roll
And watch the girlies twirly around
No mama drama I just go with the flow
The word gets out when I'm in town
I'm EZ breezy with a wide open sail
I'm so Up Jack
This pretty face is never upside down
So perfectly in tact
Cause all I know is how I can be me
So you be you and set yourself so FREE!!!
Cause I'm Hip...I'm 10 G
I'm so far in front I've already past me
I'm half robotic
One part ET
Not too exotic...least not for me
I'm the captain of mon bateau
And just one more time you oughta know
I was born to simply Rock and Roll
And watch the girlies twirly around
No mama drama I just go with the flow
The word gets out when I'm in town
I'm EZ breezy with a wide open sail
I'm so Up Jack
This pretty face is never upside down
So perfectly in tact
Cause all I know is how I can be me
So you be you and set yourself so FREE!!!
Cause I'm hip I'm cool
