The writing on this is amazing. Kendrick Lamar is as much a rapper as he is an artist. I like how he can relax on bars and punchline to focus on songwriting and what's best for the soundscape.
Who is here because their heart just got ripped out because of the cautionary tale of Franklin Saint!!!!!!!!!!!!??????? Damson Idris can act his ass off and SNOWFALL IS A BEAST!!!!!!!! Man! WHAT A RIDE!!!!!!!!
Seriously? Everything gotta' be Jesus? If you're cool with him chillin' for a couple thousand years, I get it. Laid back slacker. Trying to get his life right. Otherwise, start recognizing that nobody is coming to save you. Do better. For yourself and everyone around you.

Hell raisin, wheel chasin... That was phenomenal. Because according to the Inferno Canto there's a place in hell where the wheel of fortune is.. a golden wheel. Aka money chasing/fortune chasing... Dudes a genius 💯🔥✝️🔥
@@efrenbeltran7545 The whole album is about the biblical apocalypse... the song is named pride after Lucifer, the sin of pride. There is also a track called "Yah", which is the Hebrew name of god. The album was originally called "What happens on earth stays on earth", but it was shortened to damn. This is because the character Kendrick portrays is terrified of eternal damnation or the apocalypse. In the track DNA it is also stated “I was born like this, since one like this/Immaculate conception/I transform like this, perform like this/Was Yeshua’s new weapon”, which also has obvious biblical undertones
i love this so much i taped my air pods to my ears so they wouldn’t fall out and went riding my pit bike and pretended i was in a edit and i was vibing
I miss you my cousin, my cousin.. To me you're like a brother. You're my homeboy. I miss you so much. I wish i was there for you. Maybe you would've lived.
its a contradiction and a parallel, the whole song is a parallel talking about a perfect world when we dont live in one but in another life maybe I would be, I wasn't there but in another parallel universe/life I would be there, present in himself or there for whoever he may be talking about tho I think its him talking about himself like a self reflection
There's a notion of what ought to vs. what is. Pride is the ego or the "I" that believes what we ought to be is a real destination. But maybe there's no there or destination and only the present.
@Danny my interpretation to loving someone sideways is that even when they aren’t the same person you fell in love with, you still love them. Kendrick might be saying once someone changes too much, he can’t love them anymore.
It's a reference to J Cole's "Pac was like Jesus, Nas wrote the Bible" from Let Nas Down for those who don't get it. I have to disagree though here, I don't think J Cole is anywhere near Kendrick's level in almost all respects, imo.
It’s crazy how the high voice represents his pride and as it lowers it’s closer to their voice of god and humility within him, at least that’s my interpretation

this song makes me realize things i can't make an image of
Imagine your friend in Christ takes you to church for the first in your life and the choir sings this intro lol
"Damn."

Why bring that up bro??!!😭😭😭😭😭
man i felt this song bro now that i really understand these lyrics its touching man kendrick is always spitting man
Real.
Such a good song choice for the end of snowfall, had to come back and listen
this is poetry
The perfect is in the acceptance of your imperfections ❤. Love this
Franklin Saint really broke my heart
Lyrics:
[intro]
Love's gonna get you killed
But pride’s gonna be the death of you and you and me
And you and you and you and me
And you and you and you and me
And you and you and you and me and-
[Chorus: Steve Lacy & Kendrick Lamar]
Me, I wasn't taught to share, but care
In another life, I surely was there
Me, I wasn't taught to share, but care
I care, I care
[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
Hell-raising, wheel-chasing, new worldy possessions
Flesh-making, spirit-breaking, which one would you lessen?
The better part, the human heart, you love ’em or dissect 'em
Happiness or flashiness? How do you serve the question?
See, in a perfect world, I would be perfect, world
I don't trust people enough beyond they surface, world
I don't love people enough to put my faith in man
I put my faith in these lyrics, hoping I make a band
I understand I ain't perfect, I probably won't come around
This time I might put you down
Last time I ain't give a fuck, I still feel the same now
My feelings might go numb, you're dealing with cold thumb
I’m willing to give up a leg and arm to show empathy from
Pity parties and functions of you and yours
A perfect world, you probably live another 24
I can’t fake humble just 'cause your ass is insecure
I can’t fake humble just 'cause your ass is insecure
[Chorus: Steve Lacy & Kendrick Lamar]
Me, I wasn't taught to share, but care
In another life, I surely was there
Me, I wasn't taught to share, but care
I care, I care
[Post-Chorus: Kendrick Lamar & Anna Wise]
Maybe I wasn’t there
Maybe I wasn't there
Maybe I wasn't there
Maybe I wasn't there
[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
Now, in a perfect world, I probably won't be insensitive
Cold as December but never remember what winter did
I wouldn't blame you for mistakes I made or the bed I laid
Seems like I point the finger just to make a point nowadays
Smiles and cold stares, the temperature goes there
Indigenous disposition, feel like we belong here
I know the walls, they can listen, I wish they could talk back
The hurt becomes repetition, the love almost lost that
Sick venom in men and women overcome with pride
A perfect world is never perfect, only filled with lies
Promises are broken and more resentment come alive
Race barriers make inferior you and I
See, in a perfect world, I'll choose faith over riches
I'll choose work over bitches, I'll make schools out of prison
I'll take all the religions and put 'em all in one service
Just to tell 'em we ain't shit, but He's been perfect, world
[Chorus: Steve Lacy & Kendrick Lamar]
Me, I wasn't taught to share, but care
In another life, I surely was there
Me, I wasn't taught to share, but care
I care, I care
[Post-Chorus: Kendrick Lamar & Anna Wise]
Maybe I wasn't there
Maybe I wasn't there
Maybe I wasn't there
Maybe I wasn't there
Thanks man I needed this
Thanks they weren’t in the video
Tysm dude
Damn, good thing the lyrics arent in the video huh?

I heard this song 3 years ago and didnt understand it, now it all makes sense
Best song on the whole album hands down
I think this is my all time favorite song
We’ve come to this, Kendrick, I’m with you homie. Thank you for laying it down
Definition of nostalgia.
More people need to hear this song , love DAMN and can't wait for Mr Morale and The Big Steppers 🔥
spoiler, its ass
what did you think, Jim crow rider 1642
this is one of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard

Snowfall final episode brought me here. 4/2023
I feel like Kanye and the Sunday service choir would make an insanely beautiful rendition of this song 🛐
Our ancestors work through music also listen how it touches the soul.
song got me thru tuff times
I just finished snowfall and this song was already burned in my head for other reasons but this fictional character had me fucked up too!
ts had me in tears
I've been singing it all wrong.
In a perfect world I would be perfect worldly.
Faith in these lyrics hoping I make a band.
I hate having emotions and caring for others
That is okay rather than not being able to
Not a fan of hypocrisy, though, yet we tend to fall for the same tricks. This tune pretty much sums up our current situation.
I think what you said was interesting but need you to elaborate more
How soo?
I miss you my cousin, my cousin.. To me you're like a brother. You're my homeboy. I miss you so much. I wish i was there for you. Maybe you would've lived.
Imagine a remix with Andre 3000. OMG 🔥 🔥🔥
This is giving me Steve lacy vibes 💀
steve lacy did the chorus with kendrick actually
U know he was the producer, right?!
Snowfall brought me here... beautiful song
😢 me too
Can someone explain what he means by "maybe I wasn't there" or "in another life, I surely was there"
its a contradiction and a parallel, the whole song is a parallel talking about a perfect world when we dont live in one but in another life maybe I would be, I wasn't there but in another parallel universe/life I would be there, present in himself or there for whoever he may be talking about tho I think its him talking about himself like a self reflection
I think it's saying how kendrick and the world has turned away from charity and goodwill

In this era Kendrick is like Jesus, Cole is writing the bible
Umm what🤦♀️
Wtf
this is the dumbest thing ive read in the whole ass year not gonna lie my dude
It's a reference to J Cole's "Pac was like Jesus, Nas wrote the Bible" from Let Nas Down for those who don't get it. I have to disagree though here, I don't think J Cole is anywhere near Kendrick's level in almost all respects, imo.
@@sal8290 you are absolutely right, I never understood that comparison. Cole can't make an album as good as GKMC, TPAB or DAMN.
It’s crazy how the high voice represents his pride and as it lowers it’s closer to their voice of god and humility within him, at least that’s my interpretation
Absolute last thing that I want to hear on my birthday. Just saying

I just found this song why is it so good holy fuckj

Totally my favourite chord progression by Steve Lacy , I made a cover version with tabs for this hope u all like it !
sentimental
Snowfall brought me here
I already choose worth over bitches and I won’t lose that😌
It doesn’t feel like the first time 😢
Happiness or flashiness? How do you serve the question ..
Snowfall fair well 😞
The rise and fall of Franklin
Love ( Pagmamahal) gets you killed 😊
Steve Lacey produced this on his iPhone… #hiphopFact
It's absolutely crazy
He did it on GarageBand too
Some times I think towards the end the chorus is saying maybe I was a bad son
Why Kendrick whyyy😭😭😭
He should have kept the intro throughout the song
This shit is deep😮
Pride is the sin of the devil
yo ain't he say "I'll choose work over digits" or am I trippin
I'll chose work over bitches 😅
Maybe I was there
😊
Snowfall 😢
J found out that the guy i like is in love with my bsf
