Zanies and Fools

Well, we must be some zanies and fools

To take a gamble on this love just like we do

What a wonderfully crazy thing to do

Love like mine that we were powerless to choose

I'm so powerful every time I look at you

No memory of anything I couldn't do

It's possible, so possible

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Once upon a time I wasn't sure of myself

I would always claim I never had no help

Looking to the mirror, the most unfair of all

Hit the Player's Ball, it was unbearable

Another big birthday, another milestone

To make your birthstone feel like rhinestone

The caterpillars that had burrowed inside my belly

Started to flutter before I learned how to fly

I had a bunch of midlife crisises 'fore I turned 25

The teachers put me in the back where I was learning to hide

'Cause when the teachers call you special, that's a perfect disguise

I had to bury all the dancing that would burgeon inside

I got quiet, thought the silence was the perfect reply

I turn to Casper any time a nigga turn on the slide

Until I turned up at the talent show, a permanent high

I had Jesus behind the wheel before I learned how to drive

'Cause it's poss-

It's possible

It's possible

It's possible

It's possible

It's possible

It's possible

It's possible

It's possible

Once upon a time, a lady who tried twice

At being a good wife and giving a good life

To both of her lil' girls with ballerina tights

She called up the RE/MAX and opened her own site

Closing open houses, hired her own type

Alimony is phony, she paid for her own flights

Crazy office parties, she's throwin' 'em inside

And my mama sealed my fate when she opened the invite

The lady had a plan, she knew it all in advance

The party was a good mixture of employees and friends

She told the people comin' to make sure they bring their kids

Yeah, bring some food, but just make sure you bring your kids

After we arrived and after standing around

The lady take the glass and told us, "Gather around"

For a special performance from her daughters, she said it proud

"But tonight they not my daughters, tonight they Destiny's Child"

Out from the back came three lil' survivors

In formation, choreo tighter

One on the left, I think I might like her

One on the left, I think I might love her

Lady just folds her arms, rubs her hands

All of the lessons learned, how to dance

All of these moments left up to chance

Everything will go right as it can

It's possible

It's possible

It's possible

(Vous allez à comprir, vous allez à comprir, allez)

It's possible (Tu ta grandé)

It's possible (Tu ta grandé)

It's possible

It's possible

Once upon a time, I had carats supplied

To a pair of fair rings I would share with the bride

Every kiss begins with Kay's cut clarity sides

They were forever, but marriage had an apparent decline

Now we live in fear of doin' what our parents was tryin'

So every Rapunzel don't got the kind of hair you can climb

Every since they lost a slipper, every pair that they find

They say these boots were made for dancing like Mary J. Blige

We live a life apart, life so hard

Life'll never really end up like the start

We learn together how the back door feels

And we was jumping over brooms in tobacco fields

We was the same, all black folks still

Until the white man found out black votes steal elections

So they legitimized us, but behind us

It's still black folks at the back door still

For every small increment liberated, our women waited

And all they privacy been invaded

Almost every trade I got through the slave owner

Dark skin, brown, nose round, but the Bennett made it

Now I wanna give it to her, Sierra Leone, serenade

Sometimes love come with it's own barricade

Sometimes love just gotta hold, marinate

Let it hold, let it wait, here it go, here it go

It's possible (It's possible)

It's possible (It's possible)

(Vous allez à comprir, vous allez à comprir, allez)

It's possible (Tu ta grandé)

It's possible (Tu ta grandé)

It's possible

It's possible

Ay, yo

Once upon a time, a girl from Trinidad

Had to fly to Canada and sneak into the land

Of the free and of the brave, feet under the sand

And I came in realizing nothing free in the land

Dreams of making money, had to split it with Sam

All that Making the Band, yeah, I could've did it, but damn

Rather really be on the come-up, had to stick to the plan

Went from rockin' with Fendi, now Fendi know I'm a brand

That's how God do, I'm in your top two

And I ain't number two, conquered rap, then the pop too

You gon' stop who? Get off cock, dude

Since "Itty Bitty Piggy", giving bitches what they bop to

I met my husband when I was 17 out in Queens

If you love it, let it go, now I know what that means

While he was up North for a body

I bodied everybody and got known for my body

My nigga home now, he the Clyde to my Bonnie

'Bout to walk down the aisle and be a mommy

Ooh, I remember when I cried like, "Why me?"

Now I wouldn't exchange my life for Armani

Sometimes I feel like I'm dreaming and then it hits me

Gotta remember who I am when it slips me

Kids running up to the car yelling, "Nicki"

All my bad bitches, I know that y'all with me

Fuck they thought was sittin' in my seat

Got a big bowl of ice cream sitting in my Jeep

Got some felons that'll put you on ice, so don't sleep

'Bout to dead this whole beat for rocks and gold teeth

It's possible, it's possible

It's possible to me
