Impossible
Wu Tang Clan & Dj Skwa2 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
Dreams is free and escape is 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
Supposed through the gate, case closed
Things get froze, when it comes time, chosen ones
Will 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 righteous ones
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
Don't go son, nigga you my motherfucking heart
Stay still son, don't move, just think about Keeba
She'll be three in January, your young God needs ya
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
Nah 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 Tasha 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 Yoo-hoo 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
Now what my man is trying to tell y'all
Is that across the whole globe
The murder rates is increasin, and we decreasing
So at the same time, when you play with guns
When you play with guns, son
That causes the conflict of you going against your own
You hear me, so let's pay attention
Straight up and down, cause this is only a story
From the real
The lyrics of Wu-Tang Clan & DJ Skwa2's song "Impossible" are a commentary on the state of society and the struggle for power among various groups. The song begins by referencing the "search for the higher intelligence" and the fusion of the five elements that are believed to bring spiritual enlightenment. The lyrics then touch on the marginalization of women, the struggles of black immigrants, the oppression of the poor, and the corruption of political power. The imagery is at times violent and graphic, with references to blood contamination, poisoned food, and microchipped babies, all pointing to a dystopian future if things don't change. The chorus reinforces the theme of conflict and the impossibility of defeating the gods.
The second verse continues the themes of power, domination, and resistance, with references to the Illuminati, military conquest, and thug life. The lines "Dreams is free and escape is sleep/For a fool peep jewels, keep tools for tough time" suggest that the only way to survive in a violent world is to be prepared for conflict at all times, even as one dreams of a better future. The verse ends with a call to action, as the singer urges listeners to rally against oppression and injustice.
The third verse tells the story of a shooting and the aftermath of the victim's death. It is a poignant example of the violence that plagues society and the toll it takes on individuals and families. The final lines remind listeners of the broader implications of this violence and the need for change.
Overall, the lyrics of "Impossible" are a powerful critique of society and a call to action for listeners to resist oppression and work towards a better future.

Plain and simple, because this is merely a narrative
From the real

@sevvalorhan
Your skin isn’t paper, don’t cut it.
Your neck isn’t a shirt, don’t hang it.
Your size isn’t a book, don’t judge it.
Your head isn’t a target, don’t shoot it.
Your face isn’t a mask, don’t hide it.
Your heart isn’t a door, don’t lock it.
Your story is an inspiration, be proud of it and share it.
Your life isn’t a movie, don’t end it.
This is your life, so love it just as it is.

Pamiętam, lata temu
Ktoś powiedział mi, że powinienem być
Ostrożny, kiedy chodzi o miłość Byłem Ty byłaś silna, a ja nie
Moje złudzenie, mój błąd
Byłem nieostrożny, zapomniałem Zapomniałem
A teraz, kiedy wszystko jest skończone
Nie ma nic do powiedzenia Odeszłaś i bez żadnego wysiłku Wygrałaś
Możesz śmiało iść i im powiedzieć
Powiedz im wszystko, co teraz wiem Wykrzycz to stojąc na dachu
Wypisz to na widnokręgu
Wszystko, co mieliśmy przepadło Powiedz im, że byłem szczęśliwy
I teraz moje serce jest złamane Wszystkie moje blizny są otwarte Powiedz im, że wszystko, z czym wiązałem moje nadzieje jest Niemożliwe, niemożliwe! Niemożliwe, niemożliwe!
Odkochiwanie się jest ciężkie
Chęć zdrady jest gorsza
Zniszczone zaufanie i złamane serca
Wiem, wiem
Myślałem, że wszystko, czego potrzebujesz, jest tu
Budowanie wiary miłością i słowami W puste obietnice
Wiem, wiem I teraz kiedy wszystko się skończyło
Nie ma nic do powiedzenia
Więc jeśli skończyłaś z upokarzaniem mnie
Sama możesz iść i im powiedzieć
Powiedz im wszystko, co teraz wiem Wykrzycz to stojąc na dachu
Wypisz to na widnokręgu
Wszystko co mieliśmy przepadło Powiedz im, że byłem szczęśliwy
I teraz moje serce jest złamane Wszystkie moje blizny są otwarte Powiedz im, że wszystko, z czym wiązałem moje nadzieje jest Niemożliwe, niemożliwe! Niemożliwe, niemożliwe!
Pamiętam, lata temu
Ktoś powiedział mi, że powinienem być
Ostrożny, kiedy chodzi o miłość Zrobiłem to
Powiedz im wszystko, co teraz wiem Wykrzycz to z wierzchołków dachu Wypisz to na widnokręgu
Wszystko co mieliśmy przepadło Powiedz im, że byłem szczęśliwy
I teraz moje serce jest złamane Moje nadzieje są
Niemożliwe, niemożliwe! Niemożliwe, niemożliwe! Niemożliwe, niemożliwe! Niemożliwe, niemożliwe! Niemożliwe, niemożliwe! Niemożliwe, niemożliwe! Niemożliwe, niemożliwe!

Mmm-mmm
I remember, years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love, I did
And you were strong and I was not
My illusion, my mistake
I was careless, I forgot, I did
And now
When all is done, there is nothing to say
You have gone and so effortlessly
You have won, you can go ahead, tell them
Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the rooftops
Write it on the skyline
All we had is gone now
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be impossible
Impossible
Impossible
Impossible
Falling out of love is hard
Falling for betrayal is worse
Broken trust and broken hearts
I know, I know
And thinking all you need is there
Building faith on love and words
Empty promises will wear
I know
I know and now
When all is done, there is nothing to say
And if you're done with embarrassing me
On your own, you can go ahead, tell them
Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the rooftops
Write it on the skyline
All we had is gone now
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be impossible
Impossible
Impossible
Impossible
I remember, years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did
Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the rooftops
Write it on the skyline
All we had is gone now
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
Oh, hoped would be impossible
Impossible (impossible)
Impossible (impossible)
(Impossible)
impossible
(Impossible) impossible
(Impossible)
Impossible

When you’re happy, you enjoy the music.
When you’re sad, you understand the lyrics.

@teresamarrone539
"Trying to avoid sadness is like trying to avoid life."
"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."
"Tears come from the heart and not the brain."
"Crying doesn't mean you're weak. It means you've been strong for too long."
"Make sure everyone in your boat is rowing and not drilling holes when you're not looking."
"Be careful who you trust. The devil was once an angel."
(None of these are mine)
@mjleger4555
So true, Teresa -- life holds sadness as well as happiness, but we must try to remember that not all storms come to disrupt our lives, some come to clear our path. If we can manage to get through the rough spots, there is usually sunshine ahead! If we weren't supposed to ever cry, our eyes wouldn't be able to make tears, sometimes they wash out the hurt and make things fresh and clear again!
