Kendrick Lamar – Pride Cover, Chords, and Lyrics

Baritone Ukulele Cover of Pride by Kendrick Lamar

[Chorus]
G  Em9         A      F#m7     F#7
  Me, I wasn't taught to share
    G     Em9  A                    F#m7 F#7
But care, in another life, I surely was there
G  Em9         A      A#dim
  Me, I wasn't taught to share
    Bm7     Em6     A    F#m7 F#7
But care, I care, I care
 
 [Verse 1]
G Em9 A F#m7-F#7
Hell-raising, wheel-chasing, new worldly 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
    Bm7     Em6     A    F#m7 F#7
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
  
[Verse 2]
G Em9 A F#m7-F#7
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
    Bm7     Em6     A    F#m7 F#7
     I can’t fake humble just 'cause your ass is insecure
     I can’t fake humble just 'cause your ass is insecure
 
[Chorus]
G  Em9         A      F#m7     F#7
  Me, I wasn't taught to share
    G     Em9  A                    F#m7 F#7
But care, in another life, I surely was there
G  Em9         A      A#dim
  Me, I wasn't taught to share
    Bm7     Em6     A    F#m7 F#7
But care, I care, I care

[Refrain]
F#m7    F#7    G     Em9    A
Maybe I wasn’t there
F#m7    F#7    G     Em9    A
Maybe I wasn’t there
F#m7    F#7    G     Em9    A
Maybe I wasn’t there
A#dim              Bm    Em6    A     F#m7   F#7
Maybe I wasn’t 

 [Verse 3]
G Em9 A F#m7-F#7
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
    Bm7     Em6     A    F#m7 F#7
I know the walls, they can listen, I wish they could talk back
The hurt becomes repetition, the love almost lost that
 
 [Verse 4]
G Em9 A F#m7-F#7
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
    Bm7     Em6     A    F#m7 F#7
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]
G  Em9         A      F#m7     F#7
  Me, I wasn't taught to share
    G     Em9  A                    F#m7 F#7
But care, in another life, I surely was there
G  Em9         A      A#dim
  Me, I wasn't taught to share
    Bm7     Em6     A    F#m7 F#7
But care, I care, I care
 
 [Refrain]
F#m7    F#7    G     Em9    A
Maybe I wasn’t there
