I've been waiting my life

And I stayed on my grind

Now I made up my mind

It's been way too much time

That's why

  (It?s just impossible)

It's impossible

And you know that

(It?s impossible)



I don't wanna hear that bullsh**

I wanna hear that official sh**

Kanye and that Twista sh**

That's so impossible to get it

(It's just impossible)



Get it, that's so impossible to get it

Get it, that's so impossible to get it

(It's impossible)



Ain't no way you could pull up to the party in a Bentley

Blowing B in a club like this

(Oh no)

Ain?t no way you could cook up in the studio with Kanye

And get it jukin' in the club like this

(Oh no)

(It?s just impossible)



Ain?t no way that you gon? win

Dust some haters off while I'm sippin' on my Hen

Holla at a chick while she sippin? on her gin

And I got the mobsters hollering at her friends

(It's impossible)



For you to ever be the nicest

You don?t get gangsta or get righteous

You ain?t neva stood on a tip like this

You ain?t neva stood for no sh** like this

(It's just impossible)



For you to get it if you don't wanna win

Get up off yo? ass and go for yours and don?t go for mine

No you ain?t finna ride what I'm in

Know what I'm sayin'?



I've been waiting my life

And I stayed on my grind

Now I made up my mind

It's been way too much time

That's why

(It's impossible)

It's impossible

And you know that

(It's impossible)



I don't wanna hear that bullsh**

I wanna hear that official sh**

Kanye and that Twista sh**

That's so impossible to get it

(It's just impossible)



Get it, that's so impossible to get it

Get it, that's so impossible to get it

(It's impossible)



Get it bundled ***** up then, lit it

Smoke a lil? but don't admit it

Do it like I did, too late I did it



The controversy can?t worse me man

I'm eating but I'm still thirsty and

Thirsty, what is you saying?

I gotta into a **** with a couple ******* last Thursday man



Why the hell is I'm worrying?

Hopping out the Benz with the perfect 10

Man, your life must be perfect man

Look at how they came up with the perfect plan

  (It?s just impossible)

It's impossible



Got strip clubs playin? gosspital

Girl so sick in the hospital

You know I japped out like Pakadu

Ya know I throw ya down is when I rock wit you



Since Michael Jackson made ?Rock With You?

I done did sh** on logical

Maybe ?cause we did the impossible

Maybe we done did the impossible



I've been waiting my life

And I stayed on my grind

Now I made up my mind

It's been way too much time

That's why

(It?s impossible)

It's impossible

  (It?s so impossible)

And you know that

(It?s impossible)



I don't wanna hear that bullsh**

I wanna hear that official sh**

Kanye and that Twista sh**

That's so impossible to get it

(It's just impossible)



Get it, that's so impossible to get it

Get it, get it, get it, get it

That's so impossible to get it, get it

(It's impossible)



I don't wanna hear that bullsh**

I wanna hear that official sh**

Kanye and that Twista sh**

That's so impossible to get it

(It's just impossible)



Get it, that's so impossible to get it

Get it, that's so impossible to get it

(It's impossible)



(It?s just impossible)

It?s impossible
