Wordplay

I've been all around the world, I've been a new sensation

But it doesn't really matter in this g-generation

The sophomore slump is an uphill battle

And someone said, it ain't my scene

'Cause they need a new song like a new religion, music for the television

I can't do the long division, someone do the math

For the record label puts me on the shelf up on the freezer

Got to find another way to live the life of leisure

So, I drop my top, mix and I mingle

Is everybody ready for the single? And it goes

Ha-la-la-la-la, now, listen closer to the verse I lay

Ha-la-la-la-la, it's all about the wordplay

Ha-la-la-la, love, the wonderful thing it does

Because, because I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's

Yeah, the Mr. A to Z, they say, I'm all about the wordplay

When it's time to get ill, I got your remedy

For those who don't remember me

Well, let me introduce you to my style

I try to keep it jumble, and the lyrics never mumble

When the music's making people tongue-tied

You want a new song like a new religion, music for the television

I can't do the long division, someone do the math

For the people write me off like I'm a one-hit wonder

Gotta find another way to keep from going under

Pull out the stops, got your attention

I guess it's time again for me to mention the wordplay

Ha-la-la-la-la, now, listen closer to the verse I lay

Ha-la-la-la-la, it's all about the wordplay

Ha-la-la-la, love, the wonderful thing it does

Because, because I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's

Yeah, the Mr. A to Z, they say, I'm all about the wordplay

I built a bridge across the stream of consciousness, it always seems to be flowing

But I don't know which way my brain is going

Oh, the rhyming and the timing keeps the melodies inside me

And they're climbing 'til I'm running out of air

Are you prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head?

Are you listening to a single word I've said?

Ha-la-la-la-la, listen closer to the words I say

Ha-la-la-la-la, I'm stickin' to the wordplay

Ha-la-la-la, love, the wonderful thing it does

Because, because I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's

Yeah, the Mr. A to Z, they say, I'm all about the wordplay

Ha-la-la-la-la, I'm all about the wordplay

Ha-la-la-la-la, stickin' with the wordplay

Ha-la-la-la, love, I love the wonderful thing it does

Because, because the ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's are back in love

With the Mr. A to Z, they say is all about the wordplay
