Chasing Pavements

Lyrics

[Intro: Adele] 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 (But, but, 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? [Interlude: Machine Gun Kelly, Adele] Or should I just (Uh) keep on (Yeah) chasing pavements? Should I just keep on chasing pavements? You know, it's crazy, man I never thought music could have got us this far (Should I just keep on chasing pavements?) Y'all have no idea how many sleepless or hungry nights we spent (Or should I just keep on chasing pavements?) On the fucking floor and couches just trying to get to this point (Should I just keep on chasing pavements?) 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: Machine Gun Kelly, Adele] Uh, fall asleep until the dream comes (Comes) Motherfuck reality (Reality) Happiness, I think I need some (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 mutherfucking 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 (Give up) Mutherfuckas getting paid, I'm just tryna get saved Seven 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 (Give up-up) I should let all my life's dreams wait Or should I— [Chorus: Adele, Adele & Machine Gun Kelly] 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: Machine Gun Kelly, Adele] Bored out of my mind, I need a fucking job But they ain't hiring shit, that's why I fucking rob (Gimme that) Had to hustle 'cause unless you got them test scores Colleges only come around here looking for Brett Favre (Oh) For the next star (Oh), or if you 6'4" (Oh) 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 (Give up) 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 [Bridge: Adele, Machine Gun Kelly] Should I give up? Or should I just keep chasing pavements? Even if it leads nowhere (Uh, I ask these motherfuckers) Should I give up? Or should I (Or should I) just keep chasing pavements (Just keep on) Even if it leads nowhere [Outro: Machine Gun Kelly, Adele] I-I can barely talk, by the way My mouth is fucking closed 'cause I just had surgery You know, motherfucker just got a record deal We got dental insurance now, biatch! Yeah, hahaha, haha (Give up-up)
