Lyrics

It's irreversible, the sun will rise tomorrow 
It's all I'm asking for, my inspiration follows

And I don't care what you think 
cuz I'm gonna due what I came to do 
And if I have to chase you down you know I will 
Cuz this time we both know that I'm gonna win

It's irreversible, the sun will rise tomorrow 
It's all I'm asking for, my inspiration follows 
It's irreversible, the sun will rise tomorrow 
It's all I'm asking for, my inspiration follows

Inspiration follows... 
my inspiration follows

Song Production Information

DKC Crew

"The song Inspiration came in stages for me. Originally composed as an entirely different song, I had to re-write the lyrics to match the build about half way through composition. The song changed completely but still kept the same base idea and the word 'Inspiration'. Once I got a structure and vocals I felt good about I added tons of harmonies to the voice and had fun arranging the music."
