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
