Wordplay

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

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

The sophomore slump is an uphill battle

And someone said that 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 in the freezer

Gotta 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

Ah-la-la-la-la

Now listen closer to the verse I lay

Ah-la-la-la-la

It's all about the wordplay

Ah-la-la-la-love

The wonderful thing it does

Because, because I am the wizard of oohs and ahs and fa-la-las

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

Ah-la-la-la-la

Now listen closer to the verse I lay

Ah-la-la-la-la

It's all about the wordplay

Ah-la-la-la-la

The wonderful thing it does

Because, because I am the wizard of oohs and ahs and fa-la-las

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 till 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?

Ah-la-la-la-la

Listen closely to the words I say

Ah-la-la-la-la

I'm stickin' to the wordplay

Ah-la-la-la-love

The wonderful thing it does

Because, because I am the wizard of oohs and ahs and fa-la-las

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

Ah-la-la-la-la

I'm all about the wordplay

Ah-la-la-la-la

Stickin' with the wordplay

Ah-la-la-la-love

I love the wonderful thing it does

Because, because the oohs and ahs and fa-la-las are back in love

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