Impossible
Wu-Tang Clan featuring Tekitha Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[RZA] Yo... check check it

[Tekitha] You can never defeat

[RZA] Yo check the method of this shit right here one time

[Tekitha] The Gods
[RZA] Sparkin your braincells to the upmost

[Tekitha] Impossible

[RZA] Unlimited epidemics bein spread

[Tekitha] You can never defeat

[RZA] You know, we try and add on for y'all niggas

[Tekitha] The Gods

[RZA] Yo, yo



Verse One: RZA



Fusion of the five elements, to search for the higher intelligence

Women walk around celibate, livin irrelevant

The most benelovent king, communicatin through your dreams

Mental pictures been painted, Allah's heard and seen

everywhere, throughout your surroundin atmosphere

Troposphere, thermosphere, stratosphere

Can you imagine from one single idea, everything appeared here

Understanding makes my truth, crystal clear

Innocent black immigrants locked in housing tenemants

Eighty-Five percent tenants depend on welfare recipients

Stapleton's been stamped as a concentration camp

At night I walk through, third eye is bright as a street lamp

Electric microbes, all body clothes

Taking telescope pictures of globe, babies getting pierced with microchips

stuffed inside their earlobes, then examinated

Blood contaminated, vaccinated, lives fabricated

Exaggerated authorization, Food and Drug Administration

Testin poison in prison population

My occupation to stop the innauguration of Satan

Some claim that it was Reagan, so I come to slay men

like Bartholemew, cause every particle is physical article

was diabolical to the last visible molecule

A space night like Rom, consume planets like Unicron

Blasting photon bombs from the arm like Galvatron



Verse Two: you-God



United Nations, gun fire style patient

Formulatin rap plural acapella occupation

Conquer land like Napoleon, military bomb fest

We want sanitary food, planetary conquest

Thug peoples on some hardco' body shit

Get your shit together 'fore the fuck Illuminati hit

Dreams is free in escape of sleep

For a fool peep jewels, keep tools for tough time

The rule of rough mind, elevate, stay behind

The sun gotta shine, keep on, cremate

the whole Babylon, times up, move on

Kings on your pawn, checkmate, no fakes

opposed through the gate, case closed

Things get froze, when it comes time, chosen ones

were holding guns, we take flight with no fright

and attack, never fear cause our words is clear

What's been done can't be undone Son, we can't care

Cause the last days and times are surely here

Snakes and flakes get blown, by the rightous ones

Divine minds bind, we unified as one

Half of black hope, we half broke, smoke a bowl of weed shit

Our everlastin answers stay flyin over Egypt



Chorus: Tekitha



For you to defeat, the Gods

Impossible, you can never... defeat

The Gods, impossible

For you to defeat, the Gods



Verse Three: Ghostface Killah



Call an ambulance, Jamie been shot, word to Kemit

Don't go Son, nigga you my motherfuckin heart

Stay still Son, don't move, just think about Keeba

She'll be three in January, your young God needs you

The ambulance is taking too long

Everybody get the fuck back, excuse me bitch, gimme your jack

One, seven one eight, nine one one, low battery, damn

Blood comin out his mouth, he bleedin badly

Nahhh Jamie, don't start that shit

Keep your head up, if you escape hell we gettin fucked up

When we was eight, we went to Bat Day to see the Yanks

In Sixty-Nine, his father and mines, they robbed banks

He pointed to the charm on his neck

With his last bit of energy left, told me rock it with respect

I opened it, seen the God holdin his kids

Photogenic, tears just burst out my wig

Plus he dropped one, oh shit, here come his Old Earth

With no shoes on, screamin holdin her breasts with a gown on

She fell and then lightly touched his jaw, kissed him

Rubbed his hair, turned around the ambulance was there

Plus the blue coats, Officer Lough, took it as a joke

Weeks ago he strip-searched the God and gave him back his coke

Bitches yellin, Beenie Man swung on Helen

In the back of a cop car, dirty tarts are tellin

But suddenly a chill came through it was weird

Felt like my man, was cast out my heaven now we share

Laid on the stretcher, blood on his Wally's like ketchup

Deep like the full assassination with a sketch of it

It can't be, from Yohoo to Lee's

Second grade humped the teachers, about to leave

Finally this closed chapter, comes to an end

He was announced, pronounced dead, y'all, at twelve ten



Outro: Raekwon and Tekitha



Now what my man is trying to tell y'all

Is that across the whole globe (you can never)

The murder rates is increasin, and we decreasin (you can never)

So at the same time, when you play with guns

When you play with guns Son (you can never defeat)

That causes the conflict of you goin against your own (the Gods)

You hear me, so let's pay attention

Straight up and down, cause this is only a story





From the real

Overall Meaning

The song "Impossible" by Wu-Tang Clan featuring Tekitha is a complex lyrical masterpiece with multiple interpretations. The song begins with RZA sparking listeners' brain cells to the highest level, followed by Tekitha chanting "The Gods" and stating that they are impossible to defeat. RZA then raps about the fusion of the five elements in search of higher intelligence and the pattern of communication through dreams. He describes how everything on the planet is connected to each other, and the understanding of this connection makes the truth crystal clear. RZA raps about the innocent black immigrants locked in housing tenements, while the government tests poison in prison populations. He states that his occupation is to stop the inauguration of Satan because every particle is diabolical.


The second verse is by You-God, who raps about the United Nations, military bomb fests, and planetary conquest. He tells listeners to get their shit together before the Illuminati hit and stay behind to elevate their rough minds. You-God warns listeners that the times are up for Babylon, and the righteous ones will defeat the snakes and flakes. He tells them that the divine minds of the unified ones are bound together, and they are half hope and half broke, as they smoke a bowl of weed.


The final verse is by Ghostface Killah, who raps about Jamie being shot and calling an ambulance. He tells his friend to keep his head up and how they went to Bat Day when they were eight. Ghostface raps about the God holding his kids and how he dropped one. He tells how the God's mother came screaming and how an ambulance took him away. He raps about Officer Lough, who stripped the God of his coke and how bitches were yelling. Ghostface tells listeners about the full assassination with a sketch of it and how Yohoo to Lee's second-grade teachers are about to leave.

Yo fusion of the five elements, to search for the higher intelligence
Women walk around celibate, living irrelevant
The most benevolent king, communication through your dreams
Mental pictures been painted, Allah's heard and seen
Everywhere, throughout your surrounding atmosphere
Troposphere, thermosphere, stratosphere
Can you imagine from one single idea, everything appeared here
Understanding makes my truth, crystal clear
Innocent black immigrants locked in housing tenements
Eighty-Five percent tenants depended welfare recipients
Stapleton's been stamped as a concentration camp
At night I walk through, third eye as bright as a street lamp
Electric microbes, robotic probes
Taking telescope pictures of globe, babies getting pierced with microchips
Stuffed inside their earlobes, then examinated
Blood contaminated, vaccinated, lives fabricated
Exaggerated authorization, Food and Drug Administration
Testing poison in prison population
My occupation to stop the inauguration of Satan
Some claim that it was Reagan, so I come to slay men
Like Bartholomew, cause every particle is physical article
Was diabolical to the last visible molecule
A spaceknight like Rom, consume planets like Unicron
Blasting photon bombs from the arm like Galvatron

United Nations, gun bias style patient
Formulating rap plural acapella occupation
Conquer land like Napoleon, military bomb fest
We want sanitary food, planetary conquest
Thug peoples on some hardco' body shit
Get your shit together 'fore the fuck Illuminati hit

For a fool peep jewels, keep tools for tough time
The rule of rough mind, elevate, stay behind
The sun gotta shine, keep on, cremate
The whole Babylon, times up, move on

Cause the last days and times are surely here

Divine minds bind, we unified as one
Half of black folk, we half broke, smoke a bowl of weed shit
Our everlasting essence stay flying over Egypt

For you to defeat, the Gods
Impossible, you can never defeat
The gods
Impossible
For you to defeat, the Gods

Call an ambulance, Jamie been shot, word to Kimmy
