[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)
