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
