Inspiration lyrics

by

B.o.B


I made this beat, 2003ish
Wrote to it but never got it completed
I love the feel love the vibe that I acquired
Spit a couple lines but wasn't really inspired
See inspiration is the thing that keep my brain ticking
If you don't feel inspired, something in my veins missing
I wasn't too strong
Quit that and moved on, never looked back
And started working on a new song
But as a beat-maker, you never know
A track that I ain't feeling might inspire someone else's flow
I sell beats, internet and in the streets
Helping poets paint pictures, I'm the canvas so to speak
I sold this beat to a guy named Phil
He reached out as a fan, hit me on my email
Told me I inspired him, he loved what I was doing
He said I motivated him to start pursuing music
Gave him the instrumental, call me when you done writing
But I never heard back and really never thought twice
It happens often, rappers never finish nothing
So it didn't seem strange he didn't hit me back with something
A couple months passed, that was fine
Then I got another message with Phil's name in the subject line
"Class, I'm a friend of Phil's from back in the day
And the music you made, inspired him in many ways
He changed his life around, got it on track
I want you to know, cause last week Phil died in a car crash"
What??? you serious?
I barely knew the guy but sh*t it hit me fairly quick
We all forget how much life should be admired
Sometimes we all forget how our music does inspire
I inspired Phil, now Phil inspired me
To finish up my song over top of Phillip's beat
