Phora performing What If
LYRICS :
[Verse 1: Phora]
Yeah what if I met God, what would he say?
Would he love me like his child?
Would he look at me and turn away?
Would he be ashamed?
Cause I know I have my share of sins
I know I have my share of rules that I bent
Things that I've done, I'll regret as long as I live
I'm not proud of what I did
Damn, but lately I'm trying to make it right
Lately I'm trying to find myself through the pain
I've been looking for answers
So I've been praying every night
Yeah I'm praying every night, but I feel like I never get a reply
Feel like I'm always left asking myself why
Like why would my people feeling low, we get high
I'm just trying to get by
What if I got rich? What would I be?
Would I be the type that never break bread
And only look out for me?
My nigga don't you see? This shit was never for me
It was for the fam, but if I got rich
Would people start coming around
While plotting to take advantage of who I am
I'm learning to be a man, yeah but that really takes time
And I ain't really got patience dog
Too much shit up on my mind
Damn, but I'm really trying to cope with this shit
Drifting away from family, we ain't spoke in a bit
Guess it's cause I'm too proud to ask for help
So I just sit in my room and I ask myself, "What if?"
[Verse 2: Phora]
Yeah what if I blew up? You think I'd change?
Would I be faithful to the girl?
I wouldn't fuck with the groupies cause of the fame
There's no one else to blame
I know I've done wrong so many times
Responsible for all the tears coming from my eyes
I'm sick of myself, sick of the games and the lies
I just hate to see you cry
What if I went broke? Where would they go?
Would they all stick around to watch me fall
Or just disappear slow, man I don't really know
If I lost everything would they forget
What if I lost all of my money, all of these whips
All of the fame, all the people, all of my chips
Would they all just dip?
What if I didn't have music? Where would I be?
Shit honestly I'd probably be in the streets
Trying to hustle a G, G in the white of the green
Whatever you need, up in the A.M
Running the block with the fiends
Rolling around with a nine tucked in my jeans
And I'd probably end up like a "Boys in The Hood" scene
There's a better way to be
What if I met you? What would you think?
I just hope that I inspire you with every single word that I speak
If you got to know me
Well we probably ain't too different from each other
Why the world got to be so distant from each other?
What if we just learned to love and listened to each other
What if?

What if I met Phora,
what would I say,
tell him how deep his music inspired me,
and how it got me here today,
I was lost with no guidance,
and his lyrics paved a way,
when life got dark,
it was you that led me to these brighter days #yourstruly
Same here. phora'smusic inspires me
ayyy👌🏼💯
Arial ZNGA word up
KATLEGO ASHLEY hands down my favorite artist
Arial ZNGA I try ☺
Need these story telling type of songs again phora🙏🏽🙏🏽
I have so much respect for you.
I was going to commit suicide a couple of months ago and one day I just played this and Gods Plan on repeat for 8 hours. I abused drugs, was failing every class and felt so alone. Life was fucked I cried so much but his lyrics are so real, he saved me. I can do this..
I know what that shits like and you've made it through. If you need to chat I'm Micah Hansen hmu on FB fam. Always remember to keep ya chin up
I am happy that you did not commit suicide. God loves you! And he will provide all your needs but you must hold on. Stay Strong!!
stay strong.. life is like a roller coast.
keep pushing don't let shit get you down. life is all about the ups and downs. you just gotta remember tomorrow is right around the corner.
God bless us all.
I really love the message behind the song, the fact that he's still being himself as he's rising to fame is just amazing and is probably one of the only dudes who is like that. I see he values his dirty chucks since it keeps him at ease and no matter how famous he gets he can just look down and remind himself that the struggle paid off, that he didn't change just because it would be easy and that he doesn't have to wear flashy clothes to show off that he's making it up there. I'll always be a Phora head and been listening to this guy since rephlections of the truth 1. Much love man and respect 💯
PHORA is like TUPAC, One of a kind, and changing the world, helping thru his music, Messages and Connection to those hurting & goin thru it! Keep on!!! Such deep insight & Genuine.....Rare Gem.

Phora is by far the realist rapper in the game . Keep doing whatcha doin man.
I know we supposed to change as we grow but low key the old phora bumps different
This is what I get from this song
-Your past shouldn't define who you are today. Its what you are now and what you do from this point on that matters.
-Fame or money shouldn't change you.
-Don't blame anyone but your self for who you've turned out
he doesn’t have one bad song, i cry every time ❤️

I said I wouldn't like a video until it is as good or better than Kendrick Lamar's Song "Alright" but I found a song just as good as that song thanks Phora you're the best sorry I slept on you, this is truly thought provoking I'll listen to your album and I'll never miss a video, this shit heat. And those that don't know Bobbi Kristina died yesterday she's with her mother Whitney now away from the evils of this world R.I.P.

Rich Phora from the future
Y'all don't know phora
Fake fans
@@AnythingLoungehe started making music for the ladies lmao all that graff and real life shit is gone. It’s all sad and heartbreak stuff now
Man shut up
how much of a cold hearted, no life loving hater do you gotta be to dislike music like this
Listening to this till this day
Man you definitely got my
pen pushing right.
Thanks for keeping real
hip hop alive and well.
I found phora in my peak of high school, graduated listening to this guy.. his music definitely helped me a lot fasho.. 2013-2015 phora hit way different..
This made me cry 😭😭
we can all agree that phora is the best💖💖😍
Had to come back to this .
Phora is always making everyone a better person with his words.
I feel as if Phora, will be the next person to change this generation! His inspiring words, the way he's making his own record label it's incredibly unique and I will do anything to help Phora, I've even bought some of his merchandise! I hope you get everything you want, Phora you truly deserve it! I've never heard such music with soul and heart, when Phora sings you can actually hear the pain in his voice, it makes you realize that he's been through a lot, and not only is he in this for money, he's in this for us! Phora if you read this, I pray to God that you will make it, and it's not just for the rich and the fame, but so you make us, your fans and your family happy. You're not the type of rapper that surrounds yourself with money like Kanye, Drake, Chris Brown, Tyga etc. And if you ever feel like your in hard times, or you just feel like giving up, remember this, ' I know what it's like to feel so hopeless, but you gotta keep going man, just stay focused'
~Yours truly's #1 fan
Meek mill be like phora ain't even cry in this video!
Phora saved my life.
Been bumpin' his music since day one.

speechless, such a good song
He turned in to all the things he didn’t want to be. 🤦♂️
Keep rocking them chucks bro
I just want to Let You Know Phora. You have Changed my life.
Yours Truly forever ♾ ♥️
who else thinks J cole and him would make a sick ass albums together
Your music touches my heart, its means so much to others and I. It reminds people of what you've been through and how you got here today. It reminds them to keep going and that there is a light at the end of the darkness. I'm really grateful that you ain't up yourself like other rappers and keep true to your self and all your fans. Like how you wear your old converses instead of some new shoes, how you don't wear any bling or anything in those lines. You are my favourite and most underrated rapper out there in the business. I have so much respect for you that it can not be explained. Can't wait for awbw album its going to be awesome and your going to become huge, we all know it. Keep doing what your doing, your going somewhere. #YoursTrulyForever
Phora,
The realest out there.
Nuff said.
Thank you Phora for real music. You never disappoint.
Respect Phora...Your music speaks to me. All I do is sit in my room and wonder what if ever since my little brother was left for dead 13 years ago. The song "Father" really spoke to me too. All I do is isolate...There's more to it than that but......IDK, Thank You Phora, you're my dude!
What happened to your little brother?
3 years later and I'm still bumping to this song🔥💯
The meaning in your music gives me chills.
I respect this man more than any mainstream artist, his music is inspirational.
hip hop is not dead .
i fucks with this songs phora you just trying to be a man and learn from life i respect you bruh
Respec
there isnt a day i dont play your music. huge inspiration!!!!!
Tears in my eyes. Beautiful song!!!
155 dislikes?!?!? I already know those people who disliked it listen to bull shit rappers like lil Wayne n 2 chainz smh... Phoras is honestly one of the most real rappers ever besides 2pac but can promise you 2pac would be proud as fuck of phora👏🏼👏🏼
Damn. I've been listening to Phora all day long today.. And it's been a pretty good day until my sister told me there was a rumor he got shot.. I told her, I had already seen that rumor last year and not to play with me like that little one... Then I saw it was true... Hope this is real and that Phora recovers from this.. History needs to stop repeating.. You gotta hold on, stay strong!!
I miss times when he released these earlier tracks❤
Damn everything My brother said is what I feel inside I couldn't ever just explain it in my own words
I Honestly Like How Phora Can Take You Into This Other World Where You Realize Everything, Respect & Im Trying To Do Music Like This & With Out Phora I Would Probably End Up A Trap Boy. Thanks
#YT !
ILY
KingLilJ your music also has a meaning and some don't but your good keep GOING !
#SGK 😍❤
lol
It's just nice to know that hopefully you'll never turn into a rich asshole and end up like Kanye but on the real tho this song has true meaning keep it up phora
Yeezy is just out spoken. He means well but he doesn't always say the best things.
Luke Pimentel nice last name !
+Eric Barnett II. NO he just thinks hes god and is arrogant. Fuck him
jesusbar313 You seem bitter. We're all entitled to our own opinion I believe what I think is true about my #1 inspiration. There have been too many good deeds by him over looked. Giving away music awards that he won, encouraging artist to work together old and young, trying to lower the price of his shoes because kids die over gym shoes every day and he wanted to be a force stopping that unlike Michael Jordan and many other people. Things like that overlooked because he couldn't keep his opinion to his self and interrupted Ms. Swift (he apologized and she accepted) and because he stated George Bush doesn't care about black people (I don't think George Bush cares about anyone). Sorry for typing out all this stuff you don't care about lmbo but I'll leave you with something good, you don't get to the top being a pushover.
Tbh Kanye inspires me go look at his old documentaries and interviews
When you start a song saying "what if i met god?" You know its gonna be deep and Phora you took it to the next level
high power god bless this dude this song should be on every radio station!!!
Honestly phora is the only artist (now) with actual meaning in his rhymes. This dude spits real life shit, it's hard to come across an artist like this. Im not saying he's better than nas, but he gives that same connection you would get by listening to nas or any other real hip hop music artist. It's great seeing someone like phora on the come up. Much respected, without a doubt homie will never sell out. 💯
No hes not. There's plenty out there like him. I'm not hating, I like phora music. But there's other artists out there that aren't being listened to because people choose to listen to shitty stuff like future , young thug , rich homie quan, etc...
Trew Absolutely👌
Trew check out our latest video, I think you'll like it. Much love.
Dude really? Nikki minaj lmao. I definitely hope you're kidding. Honestly interpret what pora or any other underground artist talks about, they have completely different perspectives. I'm only saying this because I grew up around 90's hip hop and the culture of it then, is completely different now. I truly genuinely believe phora is an artist who can save hip hop along with other artist like logic, kendrick lamar, isaiah rashad, etc. Hip hop today is completely different. I can never compare the era of hip hop in the 90's with this garbage of hip hop today. Sorry for the rant, it just grinds my gears when someone can even think on relating nikki minaj or any other mainstream artist to real music. I give credit where its due and this dude is the truth. Smh I cant believe what I read.
Yung Rivera Phora, King Lil G and Kendrick the realest rappers
always thinking what if . a lot of times ... 😒
Lossie Zzz same
when phora sings everything just fades away love your songs-Yours Truly
Nothing else to say but thank you for all you do anf your amazing music. You see my boy, everyone in my family used to kick me around for turning to the streets, I knew I was wrong but all I wanted was to be tough and make some paper at its best till I realized my goals were worthless and selfish. Now all I want is to be someone in life and help those who are in need as much as possible. Midcity LA bumps ya shit man!
2022 anybody listening to this
Damnn this touch my heart 😞💘
shit I love this song phora 😩😎💖💜💙💛
you bring a message in your songs they have meanings.I really dig it.
I like how Phora can emphasize his abilities through another person's eyes, Accepting his struggles and seeing his problems through music. Respect, can't wait for the album *****
