Wordplay

[00:12.00] I've been all around the world, I've been a new sensation
[00:15.09] But it doesn't really matter in this g-generation
[00:17.52] The sophomore slump is an uphill battle
[00:20.39] And someone said, it ain't my scene
[00:22.45] 'Cause they need a new song like a new religion, music for the television
[00:25.82] I can't do the long division, someone do the math
[00:28.51] For the record label puts me on the shelf up on the freezer
[00:31.42] Got to find another way to live the life of leisure
[00:33.89] So, I drop my top, mix and I mingle
[00:36.58] Is everybody ready for the single? And it goes
[00:39.65] Ha-la-la-la-la, now, listen closer to the verse I lay
[00:45.14] Ha-la-la-la-la, it's all about the wordplay
[00:50.51] Ha-la-la-la, love, the wonderful thing it does
[00:55.45] Because, because I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
[00:58.00] Yeah, the Mr. A to Z, they say, I'm all about the wordplay
[01:01.91]
[01:05.38] When it's time to get ill, I got your remedy
[01:07.96] For those who don't remember me
[01:09.18] Well, let me introduce you to my style
[01:11.84] I try to keep it jumble, and the lyrics never mumble
[01:14.58] When the music's making people tongue-tied
[01:16.93] You want a new song like a new religion, music for the television
[01:20.15] I can't do the long division, someone do the math
[01:22.86] For the people write me off like I'm a one-hit wonder
[01:25.51] Gotta find another way to keep from going under
[01:28.25] Pull out the stops, got your attention
[01:30.85] I guess it's time again for me to mention the wordplay
[01:33.83] Ha-la-la-la-la, now, listen closer to the verse I lay
[01:39.68] Ha-la-la-la-la, it's all about the wordplay
[01:44.94] Ha-la-la-la, love, the wonderful thing it does
[01:49.69] Because, because I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
[01:52.52] Yeah, the Mr. A to Z, they say, I'm all about the wordplay
[01:57.74] I built a bridge across the stream of consciousness, it always seems to be flowing
[02:01.48] But I don't know which way my brain is going
[02:03.15] Oh, the rhyming and the timing keeps the melodies inside me
[02:06.13] And they're climbing 'til I'm running out of air
[02:08.44] Are you prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head?
[02:12.08] Are you listening to a single word I've said?
[02:17.15] Ha-la-la-la-la, listen closer to the words I say
[02:23.15] Ha-la-la-la-la, I'm stickin' to the wordplay
[02:28.28] Ha-la-la-la, love, the wonderful thing it does
[02:33.02] Because, because I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
[02:35.92] Yeah, the Mr. A to Z, they say, I'm all about the wordplay
[02:38.71] Ha-la-la-la-la, I'm all about the wordplay
[02:44.74] Ha-la-la-la-la, stickin' with the wordplay
[02:50.16] Ha-la-la-la, love, I love the wonderful thing it does
[02:54.72] Because, because the ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's are back in love
[02:57.72] With the Mr. A to Z, they say is all about the wordplay
[03:01.94]
