i didn't think that it would happen so soon
i moved to palm desert a couple of weeks ago
and since i moved, i've been riding my bike everyday
and trying to play a little tennis
but i found out, to my shock and dismay...
that in short order, and very quickly, i found that
i'm not hip anymore
i mean seriously, riding around like a 10 year old
and playing a sissy's game is white short shorts...
livin' in my old urban environment, in the 'hood
and hearing the consent wall shaking beat of the
cha-boom cha-boom cha-boom
and always seeing the gangsta rappers cruisin'round
- being in a place that just oozes hip...
i was hip
but being out here with all the old white men in their
panama hats, riding in their customized golf carts
with the only jamz out by the pool coming from
an old radio playing some old oldies station,
i think i need help, i can barely snap my fingers anymore
the only soul out here is on people's tennis shoes
and the dudes don't have spiked hair
their spikes are on the bottom of their shoes
people don't say 's-up or fo-show, they just say... fore
i haven't heard a car alarm or a police helicopter
for so long that i'm having cold sweats when i sleep
i am sleeping, a lot, heck i've started taking naps
and that ain't cool
yes, i've lost my cool, i need some help, or a shooting
i need to be hip again
i'm not sure what to do
it's too late to move back to the old 'hood again
my edge is gone, heck they'd eat me for lunch
i'd be meat, yeah, that's what i've become
a white meat on white bread sandwich
or worse white cream cheese on a plain bagle
no, i'm not hip, but i am phat
so i'll keep riding my bike, like a little girl
