Chasing Pavements

[Intro] I've made up my mind, don't need to think it over If I'm wrong I am right, don't need to look no further This ain't lust, I know this is love but Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements Even if it leads nowhere? Or would it be a waste, even if I knew my place Should I leave it there? Should I give up? Or should I just (ugh) keep on (yeah) chasing pavements? Should I just keep on chasing pavements (x4) “You know, it’s crazy, man I never thought music could have got us this far Y'all have no idea how many sleepless or hungry nights we spent On the fucking floor and couches just trying to get to this point But no matter how hard the road gets, you gotta stay the course man Keep chasing these pavements ‘til you can’t run anymore Lace Up!" [Verse 1] Uh, fall asleep until the dream comes Muthafuck reality Happiness, I think I need some So I overdose on fantasy My life's equation ain't complicated Just a combination of hate is denominated as stated No rest plus the sess and abusive prescription meds Times stress equals out to be the muthafucking mess that is, Kells The boy with no home That's why I live in your speakers through this song That's why they turn it up so loud the bass hits And you can feel me when I'm gone And when I die, spread my message like the Qu'ran Muthafuckas getting paid, I'm just tryna get saved 7 years of living crooked, I'm just tryna get straight All this crack in my city even though these street's paved Makes me wonder if I should let all my life's dreams wait Or should I - [Hook] Or should I just keep on chasing pavements? Should I just keep on chasing pavements? (Or should I) Just keep on chasing pavements? Should I just keep on chasing pavements? [Verse 2] Bored out of my mind, I need a fucking job But they ain't hiring shit, that's why I fucking rob (Gimmie that) Had to hustle cause unless you got them test scores Colleges only come around here looking for Brett Favre For the next star, or if you 6'4" And if you can pitch, but other than that shit you just pitch raw That's what I'm pissed for (Why?) Cause if you ain't worth a couple of dollars These scholars looking like "what do we need him for?" (Huh?) I'm saying, just because I ain't Kareem You telling me I should give up on my dream? You telling me I ain't shit cause I ain't working for degrees or on a team? This country's flag is a joke That shit should be painted green Tell me when was currency valued over a human being? When we stand for nothing, we falling for anything (Yeah) But EST's for life and that's exactly what I'll scream Misunderstood until they answer one thing (What's that?) Kells [Extended Hook] Should I give up? Or should I just keep chasing pavements? Even if it leads nowhere (Uh, I ask these mu'fuckas) Should I give up? Or should I (or should I) just keep chasing pavements? (Just keep on) Even if it leads nowhere [Outro] I-I can barely talk by the way My mouth is fucking... Closed cause I just had surgery Ya know, muthafucka just got a record deal We got dental insurance now, biatch! Yeah, haha
