“PRIDE” is an introspective track that continues the album’s strong religious themes. Consider Proverbs 11:2.
Kendrick delves deep into his own pride and his recognition as one of the best rappers alive causing tension between his ideals and his actions. Also, the vocal pitch varies from high to low throughout the song, which underlines the contrast between his ideals and his actions. Pride is often considered the original and most serious of the seven deadly sins. It is the direct perversion of the dignity and holiness that make humans more God-like.
The stark contrast between PRIDE.’s beat and HUMBLE.’s beat is very intentional. “Pride” has a very soft-spoken (humble) beat, while Humble’s beat is bombastic and in-your-face, each instrumental paradoxically contrasting the topic of their respective songs.
