🎶 Wordplay

I've been [Em7]all around the world
I've been a [Db]new sensation
But it [Am7]doesn't really matter in this ge-generation
[Em7]The sophomore slump is an [Db]uphill battle
And [Am7]someone said that ain't my scene
'Cause they need a [Em7]new song
Like a new religion, [Db]music for the television
[Am7]I can't do the long division, someone do the math
B’for the [Em7]record label puts me
On the [Db]shelf up in the freezer
[Am7]Got to find another way to live the life of leisure

So I drop my top
[Db]Mix and I mingle
[A#]Is everybody ready for the single and it goes...

[Db][Cadd9]Ha La [Dadd9]La La La Now listen closely to the verse I lay
[Db][Cadd9]Ha La [Dadd9]La La La It's all about the wordplay
[Db][Cadd9]Ha La [Dadd9]La La Love
The wonderful thing it does
[Em7]Because I am the wizard of [D/F#]ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah the [Db]Mister A to Z, they say I'm all about the wordplay


And it's time to get [Em7]ill I got your remedy
For [Db]those who don't remember me
Well [Am7]let me introduce you to my style
I [Em7]try to keep a jumble
In the [Db]lyrics never mumble
When the [Am7]music's makin' people tongue-tied
You want a [Em7]new song, like a new religion
[Db]Music for the television
I [Am7]can't do the long division, someone do the math
For the [Em7]people write me off
Like I'm a [Db]one-hit wonder
[Am7]Gotta find another way to keep from goin' under

Pull out the stops
[Db]Got your attention
I [A#]guess it's time again for me to mention the wordplay


[Db][Cadd9]Ha La [Dadd9]La La La Now listen closely to the verse I lay
[Db][Cadd9]Ha La [Dadd9]La La La It's all about the wordplay
[Db][Cadd9]Ha La [Dadd9]La La Love
The wonderful thing it does
[Em7]Because I am the wizard of [D/F#]ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah the [Db]Mister A to Z, they say I'm all about the wordplay


I built a [F#m7-5]bridge across the stream my consciousness
It always seems to be a [G#]flowin’, but
I don't know which way my brain is goin'
Oh the [D#]ryhmin' and the timin’, Keeps the [D5]melodies inside me
And they're [C5]comin’ till I'm running out of air [C5] [C5/B] [C5] [D5]

Are you [F#m7-5]prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head
[G#]Are you listening to a single word I've said


[Db][Cadd9]Ha La [Dadd9]La La La Now listen closely to the verse I lay
[Db][Cadd9]Ha La [Dadd9]La La La It's all about the wordplay
[Db][Cadd9]Ha La [Dadd9]La La Love
The wonderful thing it does
[Em7]Because I am the wizard of [D/F#]ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah the [Db]Mister A to Z, they say I'm all about the wordplay⠀
