Wordplay Lyrics

I've been all around the world
I've been a new sensation
But it doesn't really matter in this g-generation
The sophomore slump is an uphill battle
And someone said that aint my scene
Cause they need the new song
Like a new religion...

    I think he is writing about his struggle with his first album and that no one wanted him unless he changed but he stuck to his ways

    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, I mix and a mingle
    Is everybody ready for my single and it goe

    Ha la la la la, l-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 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 a jumble in 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 your 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 goin' under

    Pull out the stops, I got your attention
    I guess it's time again for me to mention, the wordplay

    Ha la la la la, l-listen closer to the words 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 Mr. A to Z, they say I'm all about the wordplay

    I built a bridge across the stream of consciousness
    That always seems to be a flowin'
    But I don't know which way my brain is goin'
    Oh the rhymin' and the timin'
    Keeps the melodies inside of me
    And they're climbin' 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 la la, listen closer to the words I lay
    Ah la la la la, I'm stickin' with the wordplay
    Ah 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 Mr. 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 are back in love
    For the Mr. A to Z they say, is all about the wordplay

    because
    The ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's are back in love
    For the Mr. A to Z they say, is all about the wordplay

    It is an audiobiography for his life. About how the first record company dropped him because they didn't like his songs, and then when he sighned with another company and has now had many hit singles
