phora is the only rapper that talks about real shit not like these orther rappers that just rap about bitches and cars and money phora should be on the radio
I can totally relate to this. I didnt grow up with my dad and i pretty much raised myself. My "friends" pulled me to the wrong side of the tracks. I had a near death experience like Phora, too. Lifes hard and we do what we gotta do to get through every day.
Man, thnx bro for this song for real, like bro I was born with a father but he walked out on me and I was always bullied but I always said what u said " I got dis" bro this song makes me braver and stronger thx hope you make more of these songs!!!!
As soon as I turned 15 my mom and I had moved from our small town into my aunt's apartment in LA. Totally different world. Easily the most awkward time of my life. I wasn't necessarily picked on but I for sure felt like an outcast. And when I listen to this song I just wish it was out back at that time. This was what I needed to hear. "The world taught me never to love and never to trust. But now I know my purpose, now I know what I'm here for. Guess that's what I've been waiting all these years for." ❤️
Life is not a movie so never give up, just keep focus in the now each day to keep alive. Just breathe and stay strong and positive with vibes of encouragements never to give up. 🌄
liu Keyten throw out the negative thoughts out of your mind and you will be happy If you will keep positive thoughts everything would be positive I know your friends irritate you I LOVE TO MAKE THE PEOPLE WHO HATE ME, HATE ME EVEN MORE
liu Keyten look I really dont know whats your problem if Your problem is your false friend Whom you know can never become your friends slash them in my way I dominate them, and insult them in public so hard That now their hate had changed in the fear of talking with me:) You can try it By correcting their grammer in public And remember a thing I am always your friend:)
I've listened to alot if not all of your posts.. Damn yo I as a DJ and just passionate lover of music deeply feel your words and appreciate your truths it got Me thru some hella hard times so il forever be in dept #somuchlove #prayingforyourpreserverance hearing your strength thru your different truths/ songs/ lyrics. as a person goin thru alot I wanted to publicly (not kiss your ass) but show my gratitude and try to finagle some Inspiring/humble/true words to let you know that I'm praying for extra to get this next album out!! on some other business.. I listen to your music almost everyday... much love young buck!! you are amazing!! never stop, never lose faith
I've never heard a track (esp hip-hop, which I love to death) so deep, that through personal experience I can relate to every line. Made me cry cos this is My Story just as much. And here I've been thinking that I'm unique..
Heard this man a whileeee back in high school type shit and I fuked with him, now years later he just popped up and man he’s 10 times better, cause now I can relate a little lol but honestly thought he’d be bigger by now 2018...
Yeah. This is for anyone who's ever had a broken dream or a fucked up childhood. Never lose hope. See I was raised by a single mother, no father figure, no sister, never had a brother. Never had another man teach me how to be one. Yeah, momma had a man but he was never calling me son. And even if he did, yo I would never take it serious. Cause people say they love me, but it's funny, cause I don't think they know what love really is. Cause love ain't when you hurt a person, love ain't avoiding a problem, you should be getting involved. Love ain't when you pick somebody up by the neck and you grab his head and you slam it right into the wall. I was a trouble kid in school so I just kept to myself. Psychologists ordered me medicine, it never did help (nah). Cause every time I took it I was never myself. I wasn't G, I never had it strapped next to my belt. Just a regular kid that never joined a sports team and every time I'd tried to talk to a girl she'd ignore me. I started hanging round stupid kids and broke a few laws. Had a few problems, painted a few walls. But one day, something happened that changed my life forever, something that I'll always remember. I said one day, something happened that changed my life forever, something that I'll always remember. Check. I was walking home after school with two friends from my class, and then I see a sketchy face walk past. But at the time I didn't think of it much cause round here there's always sketchy cats, tweakers and such. So I just kept walking til I got to King's Drive, then seen a bunch of motherfuckers giving me the stink eye. They started surrounding me, stopped me in my place. And right outside the circle I seen a familiar face, a cat that I used to be tight with. Never had no problems with him, but I guess he's smoking some nice shit. He came right towards me. I said, "Fuck it, then fine. Let's catch a fair one." Then caught a cheap shot from behind. I ran, they tripped me and caught me and stomped me and kicked me. Kicks to my face, punches to my ribs and my kidneys. Then what happened next, you just might not believe, but everybody scattered I was trying to breathe. Students, parents, and teachers there watching me bleed, but nobody did shit, I was watching them leave as I was dying, bleeding, losing my conscious. Flashed back to reminders of things that I've never accomplished. Everything turned white, then everything was fine. No more worries, nothing on my mind. No pain, no nothing, I guess it was my time. Then my whole life flashed right in front of my eyes but all of the sudden I snapped back to reality. Took a look around but no ambulance was surrounding me. Guess this is how it ends, huh? I guess this is what my momma meant when she said watch your friends, huh? Guess I should have listened, but now it's too late. Taking my last breath getting closer to my fate (getting closer to my fate). And right when I felt I was good with dying, a voice in my head said, "Don't stop, keep trying." So I got my ass up, walked to school and dialed nine-one-one. True story, fuck what you think you could do for me. Fifteen years old, just another victim. Just another kid that would end up dead or in prison. Got to the hospital, the doctor said they don't know if I'ma live. Immediate surgery tube through my ribs. I could barely breathe, I was bleeding out. That's when I met God, yeah I can see him now. With a collapsed lung and two stab wounds, I'm losing blood quick but I ain't going out soon. Everybody left but I had strength in myself. I'ma be ight, that's what I say to myself. Yeah, and sure enough I kept on breathing. Almost paralyzed for the next three weekends. Private numbers calling, death threats to my family. Even named my little sis so how can you be mad at me when I told you that I fear for our safety, cause no street cred is worth my momma's place, G. They asked me who it was and I let em know. I ain't ashamed of my choice and I don't regret it yo. Cause truth is, I don't follow no one's rules. I do what I feel's right, I ain't no one's mule. The whole thing was recorded and put up online but you should know, if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. See I ain't no G, just a man with a passion, but I always took responsibility for my actions. I never hurt a soul in my life, I'm a family man. Always kept my word, so tell me how bad of a man I am. Cause when it comes down to it, all you got is you. And we all gotta survive, do what you gotta do. Fifteen years old, left in the dust. The world taught me never to love and never to trust, nah. But now I know my purpose, now I know what I'm here for. Now I know what I've been waiting all these years for. Fifteen years old, left in the dust. The world taught me never to love and never to trust, nah. But now I know my purpose, now I know what I'm here for. Now I know why I've been waiting all these years. Yours truly
It’s not the fact that he talks about father figure he’s talking bout his story and to stay in school because in a real gang if you get beat up you can’t tell nobody and he told them and said he didn’t regret his decision that’s why he said “cuz when it comes down to you all you got is you and we all gotta survive do what u gotta do” he said he told the teacher what happens and didn’t regret his choice
"Love ain't when you pick somebody up by the neck then you grab his head and you slam it right into the wall I was a troubled kid in school so I just stuck to myself physiologist ordered me medicine and it never did help cuz Everytime I took it I just wasn't myself"💯
I like phora because he explains something that happens in his life and makes it into a song not like other rappers that just find words that rhyme and things that make no sense and get money from it I like phora because he is just amazing an is just a great story because this song always tears me up cause I know someone really special that this has happened to and I just love you so much Phora Sorry kinda long you don’t have to read
Banger We all had a fuct up childhood and if u didn't good for you Real shit u shouldthank god cuz some of us had to go thru this and if u didn't I'm jealous of you my life is what I made it nobody helped me but me I cried to my dog that's the only person/animal that would listen and understand Ya it's sad but it's real!

We all have our scars and so forth...this song makes me relate. Thank you for this rhyme
This rapper is the realist and everybody should show him all the respect he deserves damn he is so real!
