    "I was a troubled kid in school, so I just kept it myself
    Psychologists ordered me medicine, it never did help
    Cause every time I took it, I was never myself
    I wasn't G, I never had a strap next to my belt
    Just a regular kid that never joined the sports team
    And every time I'd tried to talk to a girl, she'd ignore me
    Started hanging around stupid kids and broke a few laws"
    When you said those lines, I was like "Whoa"
    Cause I ain't heard a rapper that can relate to that.
    I swear Phora, I can almost relate to all of your songs, homie.
    I listen to you 24/7 to help me get through the day.
    Yours Truly, Phora.

I just have a smartttt mouth that might get me beat one day I like proving others wrong when they are wrong but I say things the bad way like getting mad etc. but this year I took a program for 3 days and it helped somewhat . even helped with a few other issues I have like being insecure & depression

      To a sinner - the gates of HEAVEN IS LOCKED, but to a SOUL who REPENTS - to him - the gates of Heaven is wide open.
      Even though i see all the errors that`s wrong with that movie - more clearer: how this movie is presented to masses, i still find it a good tool to use for learning.

      To all who take and thing of bible as something that place us into slavery:
      The bible FREE`s us from slavery of any kind. Those who manage to read that out from bible is either still stick in religions or simply misread the BIBLE. But without CHRIST we do live in slavery in many different ones. So, what`s holding you back from getting FREE again?

      Jesus said that the only way to be SAVED is to be BORN AGAIN... What does this mean? The new birth is not any of the following: baptism, church membership, partaking of communion, reforming one’s life, prayer, or good works. The new birth is a change of heart. God gives us the new birth when we take U turn to Him with remorse for our sinful lifestyle and repent(Godly Sorow Produces Repentance and Leading to Salvation). God sees when we are ready for the new birth. We will know when we are born again. We will have a free conscience, a desire to do right, and an assurance of a home in heaven. Jesus tells us that the gates of heaven are closed to us unless we are born again. Therefore, we ask: Friend, are you born again (Spiritually Circumcised Sinner who takes U turn from the Sinful Lifestyle and Surrenders to Jesus) Church member, are you born again? If not, then you are lost. For Jesus says, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). We are in Last Days...Pls be Born Again... May your Soul be Saved... May your Name be in the Lamb’s Book of Life... Amen
      Notice the wording - always. As we call upon the name of the LORD - WE GET SAVED but to be saved (contune to be saved) - need a new birth - from SPIRIT/From above = YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN. Calling upon the name of the LORD yet contune old life - keep sinning - SALVATION LOST.
      Sins must go - or the SAVING was never real.
      Since the EARTH isn`t older then 6000 + years - therefore - all who still stating that anything "evolved" for millions and millions years back = lying twice. Nothing and nobody haven`t been millions and millions years back and never did anything "evolved" - ALL WERE CTREATED DIRECTLY BY GOD ALMOST 7000 YEARS BACK.
      How so? - because 1 day = 1000 years and 1000 years = 1 day.
      How many days past since EARTH was fully created? - 6 days.

    THATS WHATS UP! this is the first time I've ever heard a Phora song. This dude can spit. I love finding new artist ive never heard before. Especially when its a rapper that raps about real shit. I cant stand glamor rap. I wanna hear about real life shit, not how many planes you got and all the jewelry you wear and all the bitches you fuck. I wanna hear something that can touch my soul and this shit right here just did. Thanks Phora you got a new fan as of today.

    Phora is not a snitch , he was trying to protect himself and his family . Clearly if the people who are giving him hate had been through the same experience would understand . Try putting yourself in his shoes . But obviously you couldn't because your pride is too big . Phoras music goes into a higher spiritual talent , he's songs speak his views towards what's moust important to him , life lessons he has learned from and that will guide him to higher success . If you're grown enough to stab a 15 year old or kill someone , you're grown enough to take responsibilities . While you're home hating on him through UA-cam how about you go out and look at the world that we live in now , where's much worse things than his situation . Can't everyone just appreciate that for one there's someone who opens his mouth towards something which has affected them ? Phoras music makes me happy to have the life that I do because I know there's people out there who have through worse and they need to be heard and he's helping them through it aswell . Fantastic Job Phora , Keep it coming X

    This song is such an inspiration, im a survivor of sexual abuse of three times (that i can remember) once by my grandmother's husband, she had left to go pick up my older brother from Wisconsin (we were in Florida) and while she left me with him he told me i could run around the house naked, he touched me but i was too young to realize how bad that was, i was only like 3-5, then when i was 8 i spent a month or two at this guy's house, he claimed to be my uncle but none of my family remembered him, not even me, but for whatever reason my family let me go, i remember on the way to his house we were in a hotel with another family, they were asleep only 4 feet from me, and his wife was right beside him, he slid his hands down my pants and started touching me calling it a game, and the last time was when i was 14, my own brother waited until i was asleep, he had just come from Wisconsin to visit me (not in Florida), and next thing i know im waking up to him cumming on my behind with my pants pulled down and me bleeding, i didnt tell my mother until 4 years later, it was like half a year ago when i finally gathered the courage to tell her what her son did to me, ill never forget how she quickly went silent then pretended she never heard it. I knew she wasnt a good mother since she neglected me in some ways while was extremely emotionally abusive in others, but i never expected her to ignore me like that. Im trying to write a song to help me past these traumatic events, and im specifically trying to write an opening, im usung this song and many others as inspiration, and i am just so inspired by how the person dealt with this, i hope your life gets better, and thank you for writing a song like this

    this hits different because it feels like something my brother would make a song or rap about when he was younger. this is like if he was younger like before i was born and my little brother only my him and my sister. he was being raised by a single mom for a while. they met my sisters dad that was also really mean. he didn’t have a man to teach him how to be one. he started doing drugs and broke a few laws went to jouvinule detention and now he’s in jail. no one is seeing this but whatever. i really miss him.
    hey this is me 9 months later. he’s still jail and he’s 18 now but he’s been calling me and my family and i really love it. he’s always loved to draw and recently he made my family and i a drawing with a bunch of animals. he sounds better and it seems that he’s aiming to get better. i pray for him every night and i know he’s getting better. idk what to say but ig i just wanted to say something to someone or something cause i haven’t been able to recently so i just came here. thanks to anyone.

If a lot of people don't like you, don't worry about it. People that bully are scared of you! Don't let bullies bring you down. No one deserves to be bullied. I have been bullied so many times but i just keep saying to myself that they are scared of me, they are nothing. If your getting bullied, just walk away and stay away from them. I am being bullied at school but the teachers wont do anything about it. So i just think to myself "If i punch this kid, what will happen?" So i just stay away from them and walk away. Don't tolerate those people! They are nothing! Be the bigger person in the situation.

Or, find the real tough kids in your school, and ask them for help. Many of the real tough kids were bullied at one point and would love to help you out. There’s a lot of good kids too.
