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
