Impossible
A.L.C.A. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wake up and feel okay
Baby say that I'll be great
Work all day then smoke a J
Homies call, I'm on the way
I wake up and feel okay
Baby say that I'll be great
Work all day then smoke a J
Homies call, I'm on the way
Yeah you know that I got o-z's
Got a bad bitch right on me
Spending money but I still got green
White Impala that drive so clean
Shit was happening, now I'm back
And I'm 'bout to drop a whole goddamn scene
They were laughing and now they asking
If I'm ever gonna move towards my dream
Bitch, you don't know the shit that I've been on
Bitch, I've been really tryna get my zen on
This, probably thee reason that I let all
Of you people tell me what to do and now I'm set off
Switch, had to be made
Had to get my mind off of only getting paid
Therapist telling me I'll be okay
I just gotta keep on moving in the right way, aye
Still Brim Low 'til the day I die
Keep it on the low when I go outside
Enemies close, but I still don't hide
They could come and get me if they wanted to try
But you know they never will and that's just how it goes
Can't let anybody get too close
They ain't gonna like what I got for ghosts
So I grind alone and I still do the most
I wake up and feel okay
Baby say that I'll be great
Work all day then smoke a J
Homies call, I'm on the way
I wake up and feel okay
Baby say that I'll be great
Work all day then smoke a J
Homies call, I'm on the way
Got pumpkin spice in my coffee cup
Tats on me but not enough
Ain't got no crew so it ain't 'bout us
Got a couple real ones, but there ain't that much
Don't need many 'cause I've got myself
Got me a girl that don't need my help
Got new friends and they know I've dealt with a lot
So they really understand my hell
This for you so listen up right now
Thanks for kicking me when I was down
Needed help and couldn't be around
So you took it personal and slammed me into the ground
That ain't okay
Wish I never showed you shit that day
Ready to die and you threw it in my face
Throwing insults over two or three J's
Wow
Fuck you I'm glad I lost you
Glad I smoked what I was supposed to toss you
Glad that you say that I was two-faced
That I'm a huge fake and you're so great
Never was hate until you complained
And now you just went and sealed your fate
Guess it's okay maybe I should just scrap this song
But I guess it's too late
I wake up and feel okay
Baby say that I'll be great
Work all day then smoke a J
Homies call, I'm on the way
I wake up and feel okay
Baby say that I'll be great




Work all day then smoke a J
Homies call, I'm on the way

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to A.L.C.A.'s song Impossible convey the message of staying positive despite the difficulties and appreciating what one has. The artist talks about waking up feeling okay and being motivated by his girlfriend's encouragement. He also mentions how he spends his day working and smoking J (marijuana) with his friends. He acknowledges that he has made mistakes in the past, and people have tried to pull him down, but he keeps pushing forward, knowing that he will make it someday. A.L.C.A. also talks about how he doesn't need a large crew to make it and is content with the small number of good friends he has.


The chorus of the song repeats several times, emphasizing the importance of staying optimistic: "I wake up and feel okay, baby say that I'll be great, work all day then smoke a J, homies call, I'm on the way." It's a reminder that life is not always easy, but one can find happiness in small things like daily routines, friendships, and love.


In the second verse, A.L.C.A. further elaborates on his experiences with people who have betrayed him, shown him hatred, and talked behind his back. He acknowledges the pain that comes with such experiences but states that he is better off without such people and that he is grateful for his current state. In the end, he questions whether to scrap the song but decides that it's too late, and he will still take his message to the world.

Rune is actually a gentle soul off court it’s crazy how much his personality changes during matches

@Alastairtheduke1

Not unlike the big 4

@BassByTheBay

Like Nole whose personality off court is totally charming.

@Leomerya12

I mean, you can't get accurate assessments of people in a few minutes. We have NO idea what any of these people are actually like.

@GaidenX23

No this moment should have been Carlos and Sinner moment or a Ruud moment

@GaidenX23

Djokovic and Rune share one thing, and that’s not so charming attitude off court

I had a really big smile on my face watching this and it's nice to see two peers enjoying it.

I'd like Daniil and Andrey to take part in a similar challenge, it would be fun :)
