Lyrics
0:12I've been all around the world
0:13I've been a new sensation
0:15But it doesn't really matter
0:16In this generation
0:17The sophomore slump is an uphill battle
0:20And someone said that ain't my scene
0:22Cause they need a new song
0:24Like a new religion
0:24Music for the television
0:26I can't do the long division
0:27Someone do the math
0:28For the record label puts me on the shelf up in the freezer
0:31Got to find another way to live the life of leisure
0:34So I drop my top
0:35Mix and I mingle
0:36Is everybody ready for the single and it goes
0:39Ha La La La La
0:43Now listen closer to the verse I lay
0:45Ha La La La La
0:49It's all about the wordplay
0:50Ha La La La Love
0:54The wonderful thing it does
0:55Because because
0:56I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
0:58Yeah the Mister A to Z
0:59They say I'm all about the wordplay
1:05When it's time to get ill I got your remedy
1:07For those who don't remember me
1:09Well let me introduce you to my style
1:11I try to keep a jumble
1:13And the lyrics never mumble
1:14When the music's makin' people tongue-tied
1:16You want a new song
1:18Like a new religion
1:19Music for the television
1:20I can't do the long division
1:21Someone do the math
1:23For the people write me off like I'm a one-hit wonder
1:25Gotta find another way to keep from going under
1:28Pull out the stops
1:29Got your attention
1:31I guess it's time again for me to mention
1:33The wordplay
1:34Ha La La La La
1:37Now listen closer to the verse I lay
1:39Ha La La La La
1:43It's all about the wordplay
1:45Ha La La La Love
1:48The wonderful thing it does
1:49Because because
1:50I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
1:52Yeah the Mister A to Z
1:53They say I'm all about the wordplay
1:58I built a bridge across the stream my consciousness
2:00It always seems to be a flowin'
2:01But I don't know which way my brain is going
2:03Oh the ryhming and the timing
2:04Keeps the melodies inside me
2:06And they're coming
2:06Till I'm running out of air
2:08Are you prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head
2:12Are you listening to a single word I've said
2:17Ha La La La La
2:21Now listen closer to the verse I lay
2:23Ha La La La La
2:26It's all about the wordplay
2:28Ha La La La Love
2:32The wonderful thing it does
2:33Because because
2:33I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
2:35Yeah the Mister A to Z
2:37They say I'm all about the wordplay
2:39Ha La La La La
2:42I'm all about the wordplay
2:44Ha La La La La
2:48I'm stickin' with the wordplay
2:50Ha La La La Love
2:53I love the wonderful thing it does
2:54Because because
2:55The ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's I'm back in love
2:57For the Mister A to Z
2:59They say I'm all about the wordplay
I've been all around the world I've been a new sensation But it doesn't really matter In this 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 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 Mister 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 a jumble And the lyrics never mumble When the music's makin' 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 Mister A to Z They say I'm all about the wordplay I built a bridge across the stream my consciousness It always seems to be a flowin' But I don't know which way my brain is going Oh the ryhming and the timing Keeps the melodies inside me And they're coming 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 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 Mister 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 I'm 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 I'm back in love For the Mister A to Z They say I'm all about the wordplay
