What Is Hemp? (to the tune of What Is Hip? by Tower of Power)
You lookin for a new bag, with a price that won’t make you gag, and maybe try to raise your social status
You goin to all the nice shops, hittin all the hot spots, lookin all around for that new hip thang
What is Hemp, tell me if you wanna know
What is Hemp, once you know you’re gonna glow
What is a hip trip, what is hipper than hip
What is Hemp?
Makin food and medicine, banning it was such a sin, but now we got the chance to fix all that
Grown in all the right places, grown even in outer spaces, unlike hip, hemp is here to stay
What is Hemp, tell me if you think you know
What is Hemp, yo I go show you bro
What is a hip trip, what is hipper than hip
What is Hemp?
Hemp, yes it is. That’s what it is
Hemp, yes it is. Just answer the quiz
Hemp, yes it is. Your next biz
Hemp is hipper than hip, hipper than your hip trip
We grew fiber for millennia, now it’s food and I’ll tell ya: Hemp Nut is the righteous name
Hemp can save the planet, we gotta get to plannin it. But can it unite a divided house?
What is Hemp, tell me if you wanna know
What is Hemp, once you know you’re gonna glow
What is a hip trip, what is hipper than hip
What is Hemp?
solo in E9
What is Hemp, tell me if you wanna know
What is Hemp, once you know you’re gonna glow
What is a hip trip, what is hipper than hip
What is Hemp, tell me if you think you know
What is Hemp, yo I go show you bro
What is a hip trip, what is hipper than hip
What is Hemp, tell me if you wanna know
What is Hemp, once you know you’re gonna glow
What is a hip trip, what is hipper than hip
What is Hemp?
