Machine Gun Kelly

George Kelly Barnes (July 18, 1895 – July 18, 1954) better known as "Machine Gun Kelly", was an American gangster from Memphis, Tennessee, during the prohibition era. He attended Central High School in Memphis. His nickname came from his favorite weapon, a Thompson submachine gun. His most infamous crime was the kidnapping of oil tycoon and businessman Charles F. Urschel in July 1933 for which he, and his gang, collected a $200,000 ransom. Urschel had collected and left considerable evidence that assisted the subsequent FBI investigation which eventually led to Kelly's arrest in Memphis, Tennessee, on September 26, 1933. His crimes also included bootlegging and armed robbery. more »

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
(Uh) keep on (yeah) chasing pavements?
Should I just keep on chasing pavements?
Should I just keep on chasing pavements?
Should I just keep on 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
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 'till
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 hit's
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
II 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 (Give up-up)
