 (im not sure of the name) -
 (not sure) -
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
 4
 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 closely 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
 2nd Verse (same chords)
 And 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
 Gota find another way to keep from goin' under
 Pull out the stops
 Got your attention
 I guess it's time again for me to mention
 The wordplay
 same chords)
 Ha La La La La
 Now listen closely 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 goin'
 Oh the ryhmin'  and the timin'
 Keeps  the melodies inside me
And  they're comin'
 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 closely 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
