dude these lyrics give me a really visceral feeling

I think Kendrick presents pride as a choice, as in the deluxe edition of pride, kendrick choses pride, and the line ‘pride’s gonna be the death of you’ becomes a reality. However in the normal version of pride, he choses against pride, and is rewarded with it by not dying, and not having his father killed in duckworth.

At 6:36 I"ve heard people say that by saying indigenous disposition kendrick says that a perfect world would not be perfect as us humans are not perfect in nature so putting us in a perfect world would be indigenous disposition. This would also make sense because of the next thing he says which is ¨feel like we belong here¨ saying that humans feel like they belong in this imperfect world as they are not perfect themselves

Thank you for this video. I am a very devoted christian now but there was a time when I first heard this song way back in 2017 in the midst of a dark depression, i had lost my faith and was consumed by my own desires aka pride. Its tough to listen to this song honestly because the lyrics spoke so deep to me I basically lived by that song at that time. Now i live in a much better position in life, much harder yes, much more responsibilities yes, much more people to worry about yes, no more time for me anymore yes, completely different perspective in life yes, constantly stressed and no sleep yes. But i would take all this over what i was back in 2017 anyday. Anyways, thanks for reading bro, keep up the excelent content, i subbed

PRIDE is my fav song on the album and thanks for braking ir down i already know smt but thanks keep it up

very underrated video. the view you have on this song and the meaning behind it is very unique

One more thing, this is why pride is placed as track 7 and humble is placed track 8. Because in proverbs 11:2, the verse says that humility (humble) is the only solution to pride. Once one is humble they will acquire wisdom. Therefore, your journey coming closer to God (DAMN. in order) will experience you being prideful to humble. Likewise going away from God (DAMN. Backwards) you will be less humble and more prideful.

At 3:34 I think there could be another meaning on verses "I don't trust people-, I don't love people-, I put my faith in-" is that it isn't necessarily that Kendrick chooses money over God but he could be talking about his own success, as in he only trust his own "lyrics" (Could be hands/ expertise) to bring him his success (Band) rather than relying on other people (I don't love people enough to put my faith in man).

Aye man you killed this. Great job keep shit going.

The edited vids are SO much better, this was fire

I like to think the same way he calls out those in power making a world filled with lies, he does the same when he talks about what he would do in a perfect world. He’s no different at making hopeful promises that we know won’t be realized, further adding to the themes of pride.

pride beeing place it right at the middle of the album just show us that this is the core and central reason for all his lifts and falls

And there’s something you didn’t say that it’s probably one of the most important lines. When Kendrick says “in a perfect world, I would be perfect, world”. If you give a double thought to that line you understand that Kendrick is that pride that he thinks he’s not perfect just because the world isn’t perfect. That’s the perfect example of him showing his pride.
