"My brother used to make beats in the basement,” says Dash. “When he’d leave the house, I’d steal the beats off of his computer and record them on a karaoke machine.”
Dash began writing raps at 12 years old. By high school, he’d taken on the name “ATL” as part of a four-man rap group called the Blackout Boys. In 2006, the group (which included Dash’s brother) released a mixtape, Recognition, which generated significant buzz around Mill Creek High School. The following year, the already popular Dash – a basketball-playing heartthrob – released a solo mixtape entitled My Turn, further boosting his high school profile. However, the aspiring emcee didn’t begin to take his music career seriously until he became a father at the age of 16.
The Impossible
Roscoe Dash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You got me so, deep deep in some type of feeling girl
And in the way I can describe, cause what I'm feeling yeah
But girl I'm feeling it, but girl I'm feeling so oh
It's been since last summer time, since you went away
Still got your pictures on my window pain
Long nights, in a daze
Tell me, tell me, have you ever
Did it underwater
And let it air dry on the stairs
The stairs, the stairs, the stairs, the stairs
And someone tell me what’s the use for the bed
When you up in the air, the air, the air
I think she’s far from what I’m used to
I’m lucky, it feels like holy revival
When she suck me
Pretty lips, pretty lips, pretty lips, pretty lips
All over me
We had champagne, champagne
We don’t need a glass, we tired of being sober
She took the whole thang, she took the whole thang
And now I’m asking, is you straight
She said yeah quit talking boy switch up your tempo
She had her right backs, I'm the King Sacramento
And she loves it, she loves it, she loves it
When I stand up in that thang
Yeah got her saying
Now she saying
How do you do the impossible
You got me so, deep deep in some type of feeling girl
And in the way I can describe, cause what I'm feeling yeah
But girl I'm feeling it, but girl I'm feeling so oh X2
Do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do oh
Do do do, do do do do do-do do do oh
Do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do oh
Do do do, do do do, do do do ohhh
How do you do the impossible
You got me so, deep deep in some type of feeling girl
And in the way I can describe, cause what I'm feeling yeah
But girl I'm feeling it, but girl I'm feeling so ohhhh
How do you do the impossible
You got me so, deep deep in some type of feeling girl
And in the way I can describe, cause what I'm feeling yeah
But girl I'm feeling it, but girl I'm feeling so ohhhh
The lyrics in Roscoe Dash's "The Impossible" describe the intense and indescribable feelings he has for a girl who seems to have the power to make him feel things he didn't think were possible. He admits that he can't fully explain what he's feeling, but he knows that he's deep in some type of emotion because of her. The verses depict memories of their past together, including a sexual encounter where they did things underwater and then let it air dry on the stairs. He goes on to express his appreciation for her and how lucky he feels to have her in his life. The chorus repeats the phrase "how do you do the impossible" as a way of marveling at the hold she has over him.
