Punch, c0-president of TDE has shared a lost verse from the track “Pride” on Kendrick Lamar‘s new album DAMN.
As the world continues to digest Kendrick Lamar’s latest manifesto, we are already getting extra portions. “Pride” which is the second-longest track on the album, seems to have been cut a little bit short. Punch posted a photo of Kendrick’s notepad featuring lyrics that were written for the song, but not used.
In the caption, he writes, “Ok. N*ggas wanna post they best Kdot pics cause the album out. How about this pic I got from Dot of a lost verse for the song PRIDE. Haaaaa. Yea. #stunt#idontdoitforthegramidoitforwellidodoitforthegram #lol#youfeelsometypeofwaythenaaaaahhhhhhaaaaa #yea”
It reads:
Pride is my biggest sin
I tride to fight it but I never win
Layin’ myself down in the beds I made
Karma is always knockin’ with capital K’s
It started when I was tossin’ my life in the sand (?)
Crossin’ the street, momma don’t you hold my hand
Time revealing itself my ways are magnified
Same patterns requiring that I never camouflage
Looking at me in shock you found my identity
Asking yourself do I have room 4 empathy
