[Verse 1]:

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


[Refrain]

Think about, what it took for you to get where you are today

Think about, where you're going from here

For real


[Verse 2]

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


[Outro]

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
