    PRIDE Lyrics:
    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-
    [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)
    [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 the 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 men
    I put my faith in these lyrics, hoping I make amend
    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 and show empathy from
    Pity parties and functions and 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
    [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)
    [Kendrick Lamar & Anna Wise:]
    Maybe I wasn't there
    Maybe I wasn't there
    Maybe I wasn't there
    Maybe I wasn't there
    [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 of 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
    [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)
    [Kendrick Lamar & Anna Wise:]
    Maybe I wasn't there
    Maybe I wasn't there
    Maybe I wasn't there
    Maybe I wasn't there

    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.

      @@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
