Chasing Pavements

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!

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

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?

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

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

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
