PRIDE. Lyrics - Kendrick Lamar

1 Love's gonna get you killed

2 But pride's gonna be the death of you and you and me

3 And you and you and you and me

4 And you and you and you and me

5 And you and you and you and me and—

6 It wasn't all to share, but there

7 In another life, I surely was there

8 It wasn't all to share, but there

9 I care, I care

10 Hell-raising, wheel-chasing, new worldy possessions

11 Flesh-making, spirit-breaking, which one would you lessen?

12 The better part, the human heart

13 You love 'em or dissect 'em

14 Happiness or flashiness? How do you serve the question?

15 See, in the perfect world, I would be perfect, world

16 I don't trust people enough beyond they surface, world

17 I don't love people enough to put my faith in men

18 I put my faith in these lyrics, hoping I make amend

19 I understand I ain't perfect

20 I probably won't come around

21 This time, I might put you down

22 Last time, I ain't give a fuck, I still feel the same now

23 My feelings might go numb, you're dealing with cold thumb

24 I'm willing to give up a leg and arm and show empathy from

25 Pity parties and functions and you and yours

26 A perfect world, you probably live another 24

27 I can't fake humble just 'cause your ass is insecure

28 I can't fake humble just 'cause your ass is insecure

29 It wasn't all to share, but there

30 In another life, I surely was there

31 It wasn't all to share, but there

32 I care, I care

33 Maybe I wasn't there

34 Maybe I wasn't there

35 Maybe I wasn't there

36 Maybe I wasn't there

37 Now, in a perfect world, I probably won't be insensitive

38 Cold as December, but never remember what Winter did

39 I wouldn't blame you for mistakes I made or the bed I laid

40 Seems like I point the finger just to make a point nowadays

41 Smiles and cold stares, the temperature goes there

42 Indigenous disposition, feel like we belong here

43 I know the walls, they can listen, I wish they could talk back

44 The hurt becomes repetition, the love almost lost that

45 Sick venom in men and women overcome with pride

46 A perfect world is never perfect, only filled with lies

47 Promises are broken and more resentment come alive

48 Race barriers make inferior of you and I

49 See, in a perfect world, I'll choose faith over riches

50 I'll choose work over bitches, I'll make schools out of prison

51 I'll take all the religions and put 'em all in one service

52 Just to tell 'em we ain't shit, but He's been perfect, world

53 It wasn't all to share, but there

54 In another life, I surely was there

55 It wasn't all to share, but there

56 I care, I care

57 Maybe I wasn't there

58 Maybe I wasn't there

59 Maybe I wasn't there

60 Maybe I wasn't there
