The Process

Realest shit I ever wrote
 Just listen
 At times I get to thinking bout it
 Growing up I always doubted
 If I had the skill and the smarts
 If I stopped popping pills, would I still
 Feel the love, or has it always just been lust?
 I can't tell, part of me just fucking wishes he yell out
 To his friend, oh how we fell out
 I wish that I could get you back, back into my life
 But I'm a sell out
 I simply gave up everything for this, self isolated hell now
 Like I really fucking lost you for a bitch
 That's the separation, dead out
 I was so lost inside of desperation, constant facing
 Denigration, got my taste of loneliness, I'm done with it
 I'm over it, I just wanna feel true happiness for once
 So no more facing blunts, no more popping percs
 And no more pouring shots
 No more looking in the mirror and saying
 You are not enough because you are
 You're Ely Waves
 You're a super star who's shinning bright
 Close your eyes, see the lights as they strobe, fans saying woah
 Rapping every single word, that you wrote from your basement
 You thought it and they say it, that's a full circle moment
 It's bout damn time that you owned it, you earned it
 Through working through those sleepless nights
 Working 9 to 5, class from 5 to 9
 And then writing in the time you barely had
 You can do the math, it's a mother fucking fact
 You are top of your class
 Remember all those laughs? All those people are in last
 For real
 Remember all those laughs? All those people are in last
 Think about, what it took for you to get where you are today
 Think about, where you're going from here
 For real
 Just listen
 Looking back, I'm grateful for the challenge life brings
 We want all nice things, but most don't wanna work for it
 They wish for it and worship it, and that's worst of it
 Create the world you want to live in
 That's my quote and shit, I live off it
 I do that shit for real so, I can't blame anybody else if I fail
 Cause, if I fucking do, then I did it to myself
 But I won't because of confidence, my ethic is straight dominate
 I'm prominent, I made it here by grinding towards my goals
 And when life knocked me down I, never let me go
 Live inside the lows but I'm focused on the highs
 My mind and my dreams, somewhere floating in the sky
 To the moon, maybe mars, and all of it off bars
 Earned myself apartment and a car
 All because my songs, straight pour from my heart
 Remember all the days, sitting in that parking lot at midnight
 Rapping bout my real life, I realized I could change lives
 And it all starts with changing mine, first
 That's how minds work, and mine works like fine print
 Analyze the details, then reveal what I learned then refine
 Exhale and repeat, just process
 There's no time for nonsense
 Remind yourself you got this
 Any setbacks that you face just a part the process
 Align your subconscious, that's called manifesting
 Future isn't written, but the presents destined
 That's the lesson, thanks for listening
 I miss my best friend
 Never give up
 Everything that you go through in life
 Its all just a part of the process, to make you stronger
 So when you look towards the future and you approach it
 You know what you have to do
 You know that you can do it
 Never give up
 No matter what is holding you back
 You got this
 Love Ely
