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
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
ha la la la la la
now listen closer to the i lay
ha la 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 falala’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 duce you to my style
i try to keep a jumble and the lyrics never mumble
when the music’s makin’ people tonguetied
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 onehit 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 la
now listen closer to the i lay
ha la 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 falala’s
yeah the mister a to z
they say i’m all about the wordplay
i built a 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 rhyming 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 la
now listen closer to the words i say
ha la 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 falala’s
yeah the mister a to z
they say i’m all about the wordplay
ha la la la la la
now listen closer to the i lay
ha la la la la la
i’m stickin’ to the wordplay
ha la la la love
i love the wonderful thing it does
because because
of the ooh’s and ah’s and the falala’s i’m back in love
yeah the mister a to z
they say it’s all about the wordplay
