Phora performing What Its Like under Yours Truly Records
LYRICS :
[Chorus]
I know what it's like to feel so hopeless
But you gotta keep going man
Just stay focused, just stay focused, yeah, just stay focused
Focus on the good shit, forget about the past
Focus on what you got, not the things you never had
Cus it ain't that bad, as the world keeps spinning
Either you dyin' or you livin'
[Verse 1]
Ever since i can remember they said i couldn't do it
Tatts all over told them my future was ruined
But i told them "get to know me first yeah, I'm still human"
Grandpa asked me "what the hell you think you doing?"
I told him "i'm making music, you should take a listen
I know i ain't the best but i ain't talking about no bitches
I'm talkin' about no cars or cooking crack in moms kitchen
I'm talkin' about life and everything that's in my vision"
Man i swear I'm so thankful for the things i was given
Speak on what i learned, hoping i can make a difference
Speak to my boy that keeps going back to prison
At the end of the day you gotta pay for your decisions
I swear man i miss him, never get the chance to visit
Ask what my goal is, it's just to keep living, just keep living
Yeah, it's just to keep living, just to keep ..
[Chorus]
I know what it's like to feel so hopeless
But you gotta keep going man
Just stay focused, just stay focused, yeah, just stay focused
Focus on the good shit, forget about the past
Focus on what you got, not the things you never had
Cus it ain't that bad, as the world keeps spinning
Either you dyin' or you livin'
[Verse 2]
Even when it's all bad, i still keep my head up
It'll go away, i promise, life will get better
And i hate to see my boy walking around with a Beretta
Gotta watch his back he said our police don't protect us
He ain't't got a girl cus he thinks he gon' get set up
All that's on his mind is makin' that chedda
And i said that's cool, but what you gonna do when you get it?
Your gonna buy some weed
Your gonna put it in the bank and get interest
Listen, just think of yo' future
If you got that money, don't think these cats will hesitate to shoot you
Look, all I'm saying is be cool bro
Never heard from him again,i hope he's cool tho
I'm doing things i never thought of
Came a long way from sleeping in my niggas honda
Ask me for a quarter, i'll probably give you a dollar
More you do good, less chance of meeting karma
I try to stay away from drama, cus everywhere i go now
Been so many places, but it's nothing like my hometown
Heard some people hate us here, they don't even know us
Yeah I'm still a kid but these niggas need to grow up
And to tell you the truth, I'm the only person i can think of that's
Buying kids from the hood, cheese burgers and sodas
I just wanna make a change, man i swear
The money and the fame ain't why I'm here, i been working so hard
Y'all should be glad for me, instead of everyone turnin' they back on me
But it's alright, yeah it's alright
[Chorus]
I know what it's like to feel so hopeless
But you gotta keep going man
Just stay focused, just stay focused,yeah, just stay focused
Focus on the good shit, forget about the past
Focus on what you got, not the things you never had
Cus it ain't that bad, as the world keeps spinning
Either you dyin' or you livin'

i Bump This . much Love from your Boy KING LIL G...!
Real recognize real
Thats whats up g n phora both hit deep king and phora would be a sight
Much love from Canada 🇨🇦 🍁
You know it Carnal!!
Thats what I’m talking about. Real men don’t hate other success. Both yall essential to this rap drought.
This is the Phora we miss listening to. The one who took us away for a moment of our realities. This is that phora who helped us escape for a few minutes to find peace…
His new album nice. Sometimes people grow and sadness comes and goes, you have to rhyme about your experiences and stories of around you, and sometimes you outgrow the things around you you can't help but make different music. Phora elevated, he used to make melancholy type of music based on his circumstances, and now he's a lot better off so he has different things to worry about. We have to elevate
Unfortunately the industry isn’t about this, they don’t like to bring people together

This song brings back so much nostalgic. I remember bumping this while taking the bus and felt so much peace.
Ikr this brings back so memories of good times

Phora got me through some tough times. Extremely underrated.
Nick Sippel same AF dude🙁
Me too
For real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On god, still is
I honestly like him because he doesn't talk about sex and bs... he actually talks about life and GOD I just admire that. he's by far one of my favorite people 💯💯😊
his music makes me feel like there is a reason to actually be here and try to make a change
Yup

One of the best songs he's ever made.

Joel Varela agree
Nahh the song what If is the best
hunter cougill I said ONE of the best, not the best.
i miss this kind of music, i feel like his new music is just for the women. I literally flew across the country to meet this guy, down to earth and humble
Still bumpin this in 2022!!! I know what it’s like
Listend to this song when it first came out I was 13 now I'm 19 crazy how time flies bye.
don't stop phora, I love your music man its poetic and legit.
fr
keep going phora
Damn. Phora always knows how to make everything feel better. 2019 still here
One thing I love about Phora is that his lyrics touch your heart.. and you can relate on so many levels.. He keeps it real 💯
i can't thank Phora enough for keeping me positive through the tough times
Gangstas cry to this song in bed at night .. this is pure fucking heat . So much meaning and substance behind his music . You can feel the pain in his voice. I love it keep these flames coming
Remember slapping this on my way home from school taking the bus on them rainy days or even missing the bus having to walk home phora was always in my ear we need this again but then again you was struggling now you singing the come up which is good too 🙌
I remember feeling so lost and depressed in high school popping bills skipping class going down a dark spiral I found this song and it changed me since then I been a supporter thank you for saving me my guy 🤞🏾💙

I miss the old phora . He's loosing himself through all the fame and we are too :(
Isabella Becker fr
He’s losing himself to himself not the fame u even know Phora
Andrew for real people dumb bro they should actually keep up wit him if they fans
Keep everyone in your prayers. We all struggle through our own chapters so we sometimes might not relate but our souls are connected. They have tried to separate us by race, gender and economy. They have children growing up fatherless/motherless. And Parents losing their children to gangs and drugs and we have pointless issues being addressed when the real issues remain hidden. But God Almighty will Deliver us from evil. And May the Glory be to Our Lord. Thank Our Lord Above who watches over us. Thank You Father for Blessing our little ones and for guiding us through the darkness of this world. You Have been Merciful and Gracious and we have been ungrateful to you My Lord Please Forgive Us for everything we do outside of Your Will father. May Your Will Be Done My Lord. Thy Kingdom Come. Amen
Phora was my high school life pushing through sunny days after school
Same bro
Glad I Wasnt The Only One, I Really Supported This Dude All The Way From "Still A Kid" To "Nights Like These" After He Signed I Felt Like He Lost It
Henry Mateo same
Still relevant late 2023. Salute to the those embracing the struggle and persevering through all the bs.
I love Phora he has gotten me through some of the darkest hardest moments in my younger life. I am now 30, walking with Jesus feeling like secular music will take me back and some of it can and will do that to you. I am trying to live a different life one where I am secure in God but I've learned God uses people like him too to bring healing where some either don't know God or won't come to him. I pray Phora gets back to music like this. I definitely needed this song today. Jesus loves us ALL , wants healing for all of us including Phora. Those of you needing to be uplifted today reading this; Jesus can get you there and through sanctification will keep you there. I pray you get to know his love and Gods purpose for you today and everyday ahead.
Phoras far from whack, ahe spits the realest shit there is to spit and thats from the heart. He aint talking about money, bitches, or trying to act all hard. Hes the only one I can think of today that spits real rap and doesnt just talk shit. Mad respect for this man Phora being a poet instead of a rapper, cause the shit he spits is real. Suprise this man hasnt made it mad big yet. Probably because this generation too busy listening to mainstream garbage.
In his song No Other Way he's dissing Von Poe and OGT. He is still a very talented artist and one of my favorites. But I thought I should just let you know he's dissed before.
I could name a lot of rappers today that spit real rap and r a lot better then phora
Just sayin
im still alive barely and Phoras still legendary all these old content is timeless history food for the soul
Fuck finally some positive and reality rap.
I don’t really fw his new stuff but when ever I’m going through tough times I can always come back to this and just slow down
Cool dude. He's real and humble as hell. He really saved my son from going down the wrong track. He gave him the words I couldn't find as a father. When I took him to the concert in the 805 phora shook my sons hand and gave him a hug. For my 16 yr old son and myself that was a blessing to see realness like that. My son is now making music and on the grind focused. THANKS PHORA......
never get tired of this song ❤
Forealz huhh
Dora Camargo Its a really good song
it is 🔥👌
sick song right
I remember when you dropped this song wow time flies so fast
My grandma past away this morning at 3:34 This song really helped bruhh.... Seeing her in pain in the hospital makes me realize that my life aint that bad. Thanks man, keep doing what you do. Many people look up to you now!!
2023 we still bumping!! Found this song on funk volume website back when I was 12 or 13… time fly man but we still here!!🙏🏽
i would rather listen to real rap like this, instead of listening to rap that just involves "bitches, pussy, money, and weed" real shit, stay on your grind
Ain't that the truth
This aint rap this sounds something Justin beiber would write
how in the world does this even relate to justin beibers music?
Cuz it has wack beats and literally almost all his songs are about hes some fake thug and love. he has a better chance of being a pop artist then a rapper
You do know his background story right?
rapping is about the truth that why i love rapping i put my life on pages thats whyy i listen to phora he like me speaks the truth yours truley
DAMN I MISS THIS PHORA ! IM COMIN BACK LISTENING TO HIS OLD SONGS💞💞
I miss da old phora omm like I’m happy he’s blowing up buh he’s old music was more relatable 🤷🏽♀️much love for phora 💙
@@krystabellgarcia4575 seriooo !!
phora we still miss songs like this
I just found him from dizzy wright at first I was like yea whatever. But flicked through a few songs. He's dope
Me too
same here
Yeah im listening to this dude from canada hes sure getting his name out, but also im like the biggest hip hop head in my whole city. its wack here. just a bunch of hicks drinkin beer smokin ciggys beatin there kids
lol americans got it good
***** how is he a sellout?
i hear this song every night after work it sends a great message in my life thank you for being part of my life through your music
His songs is what music should really be about which is life not getting money , getting high , or gettings girls but about life and helping others
I miss the phora that fucked with the great underground producers he always had some really great music for those days . Time is a speedster I remember listening to phora with homies from LA when his shit was out on MySpace n UA-cam kid had the talent to be on top now he really is out on top making his career . His music was helpful to me so much I got respect for this man . Not gonna lie I haven’t listened to any of his new stuff really because I’m old school flava type feel guy .
Respect to all them talented producers hopefully they got they’re piece of successfulness too
“TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE”- phora 2012
Its 2019 and I'm still bumpin this 🎶 🔥 🔥
I know what it's like, to feel so hopeless...
real shit I pretty much only listen to phora when im having a sesh. His music gives off a chill ass vibe.
Lyrically he has so much literacy so you can tell he's very intelligent.
Emotionally you can tell he's been through some real shit and still he's keeping his head high.
Why can't most rap be this way(excluding Tupac, Biggie, NWA, Etc etc)
I remember bumpin this riding my bike to hs. now I’m slappin in my wip to my job, time flys sheesh !
Man just how phora relates to young individuals likewise myself.. keep on the uplifting and inspirational music n hard times.....
One of the best songs, a legend🤟🏼
This is the Phora that kept 15yr old me alive 🥲 .
"Focus on the good shit forget about the bad" ~Phora 👌💯
You make me think of all the things i need to work for. my life and future with my love. i couldn't thank you more for keeping me positive. dont change your style keep speaking the truth. you are changing people one by one.
August 1, 2013. This was the first day and very first song i heard from Phora. Been riding with you ever since.

Dope music.. With a message
Man I feel it phora the one real lyricists💯
This is Hip Hop bro. Shit ain't dead yet
Why am i just now finding out about dude? Really enjoy his beats. Reminiscent of early 90's beats. West coast without an overload of their signature funk inspired sound. Top it off with a decent story to tell. Creative lyricism. Finally an original rapper in the era of cookie cutter rap. Thank you Phora. Please continue to grow and share yourself with the world through this journey we call life.
Thank u phora for ure motivation

The only reason I think Phora isnt on the radio and etc. is because he raps about life and the struggle. But real life. Not sex, money, drugs. He knows the people that have a hard life. Im 13 but damn. I fkkd up and hes helping me get out of bad things I have gotten myself into. Real bad things. Thank you Phora.
Mad love for you phora, really needed this right now. 💯💯
