Phora - My Story [Official Music Video] 

2024 anyone?

So this is the phora everyone misses 😔

Still playing it in 2022 …this is a legend I relate to so much of this

Remind me to come back next year . 2020🔓 🔑 2021🔐 2022🔐 2023🔐 2024🔐 2025🔐

Your amqzing. Im a 50 year old woman, live in the suburbs and white. Im telling you all that so you can see that all types of people are relating to your music. Ive had a hell of a life, but i get through it with music. Im very impressed by you. Take care.

"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.

"No street cred is worth my mother's place, G" respect

Who still listening in 2020???

phora is slept on. it's crazy

Don't know why everybody saying he a snitch, he was only 15 years old! And has the balls to speak about it knowing y'all haters would talk shit...just let the man spit his talent

These are the kind of rappers that should be famous, because they speak reality, they speak what some of us teens go through, in what people would call "Ghetto", his words speak to me like a story book of some of my friends life. This guy is one of the best rappers that I have come by in this generation, that last rappers that spoke these words were Tupac and Notorious B.I.G. May they rest in Peace.

Who else is still listening while praying phora is okay

Nothing but love for this song

this is one of those songs that make you sit back and think "did he write this for me?" straight from the heart. amazing.

goosebumps this touched me fr dope song

Who still listening in 2024???

I can't believe I'm just now finding Phora. Glad I did though because his songs mean something. Made me start rethinking my life while I was at school lol.

Just to let you all know , I didn't find him in RU-vid. I found this lyricist in Pandora, meaning he's a real rapper and getting good money.

When people say rap is just thugs and gang members this rap that’s just true shit 👍 bump this all day

_Cause no street cred is worth my mothers place G._ That's what maturity looks like.

The beat and the video just made me kept listening. Much respect

2k19 anyone ?!?, Now we in this Bitch in 2020!?! About to be 2021!?!?!

Respect.👏 This is what i call music. none of some lame BS. Listen to the lyrics. got me in my feelings. 💯

"that's when I met God" That is the most powerful lyric of this song.

i relate to most of this...thanks Phora :)

definitely a story indeed. alot of ppl these days including me is struggling but keep trying cause u can only live once.

Who’s still buzzing to this in *2019*

Loving this, 2023. Phora feeds my soul strength.

God bless this dude. Wow he is a TRUE rapper. I think every rapper should rap like this, and actually have a story to his music like he did.

You're songs help me alot threw wat im going threw.... And i think you and jayteks should make a song

I remember this was the first Phora song I listened to, I haven't looked back since. One of my favorite artist!

Literally crying. Your music has helped me through EVERYTHING. Much love ❤️

even your closes homie can change on you in a quickness

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.

no matter how many times i listen to this song , it always hits me ... deep depression

I miss this Phora. 😖😔 His music from back then just hits different .

Came across this dude thru Pandora LOVE this video. No flashy shit just an MC spittin his heart out...fuckin real Hip-Hop fuck that flashy bling shit its all about YOUR story

Where it all started for me ❤️ I really love this man 🥺 and I hope and pray he is okay

Real talk, this dude can rap... he painted a clear picture with words, not many rappers can do that, this has a J.Cole storytelling vibe to it... SALUTE!

God protect this beautiful boy, please 🙏🏻🕯🌹

Your friends don't even trust them. TRUST NOBODY

The comments you guys leave, proves his success. Keep making people mad Phora.

Dope. You are a big part of hip hops future homie! There aint no stopping that from happening. We ALL IN, first you hit that XXL freshmen cover then I hit that cover, and show the world the NEW West Coast KINGS! -Emcer (Yours Truly)

*15 years old left in the dust.. The world taught me never to love & never to trust*

More songs like these, story telling is a lost art in hip hop nowadays. You have my respect phora

Can I just say one thing this song should have zero dislikes because you don't know this guy you know his story he cares enough about to share beautifully 💯 because of that he deserves respect

“The world taught me never to love and never to trust” Facts💯😢

Damn I was a freshman in high school when this came out, time really flies

If u here In 2023 than I salute u .. phora is truly a gift from god god bless you all 🙏🏽🙏🏽

This song gives me chills and makes me go back to what made me who I am today. Its good to go back and reflect on what happened. Everyone stay positive and know you are loved by the universe.🙏

He's not a snitch, he's a dude with a dream, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to survive & achieve the shit everyone said you couldn't...

Helped me get better really...''i got daddy issues that's on me'', appreciation is the least I can offer. Thanks Mr Duckworth. This one is without a doubt one for the records, a masterpiece indeed.

when I was in 7th grade and this young thug that I talked shit to earlier in the day ganged up on me and a friend on the way home from school. my friend was stabbed and I was beat half to death, he pulled a knife and lunged at me when someone screamed that the cops were hear and everyone scattered. I had a broken nose, broken jaw, fractured rib, and lacerations. i snitched on him real fucking quick, didn't fear anything. i also lost a friend to a shooting at a party in high school, if i knew who did it I'd have snitched then too. but that was high school, the guy who killed my friend is dead too, that's how the shit goes

"no street cred is worth my mommas place yo"....I like that.

This was just amazing.. Realest thing you ever put our Phora.. I can't even comprehend what shit you been through bro. Always gonna be a fan of you're music. Since day one.. No matter what they say bout you.. Man yours truly is the movement!

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.

just learned about him and his music after news got out about him getting shot.. hope he gets through this man cuz we need more rappers like him. get well soon phora, you earned a new fan.

First song I ever heard from you dude , stay up brother. You have a real talent. Phora is the realest artist I've ever heard even Kendrick

One of the realest and most inspirational rap songs of the modern era. This dude is going places.

Found Phora in 2019. Crazy how the right people come into your life at the right time. Much love Phora

I'm going through this and worse right now...touching song 😔👏

HOW do you dislike this!? C'mon this is a pure story that hits each and every soul it touches. Been on repeat for a hour straight

damn never took this vato seriously cuz evernody said he was a snitch but now after hearing this song and him havun the balls to say what he did i got respect for this dude.

I’m in 2019 but still love the dude😭❤️❤️

Life is always sad 😭but always know god is always with us

"They asked me who it was & I let em knoe. I ain't ashamed of my choice and I don't regret it yo. cause truth is I don't follow NO ONE'S RULE. I do what I feels right, I ain't no ones mule" just for anybody who says he's a snitch or did the wrong thing. he doesn't give a fuck about what any of y'all think & y'all should respect that. staYTrue

"Phora and Logic" ....... The game would never be the same....

phora is the person that knows me and gets me the most and i dont even have to tell him anything about me im not saying that i have gone thru what he has to but he just gets me

I can't believe I'm just now finding Phora. Glad I did though because his songs mean something. Made me start rethinking my life while I was at school

Dude you literally explained my whole life, and how it has been. Thank you 😰

I feel your pain man, much love to you Phora, Every time you do a song it's like your words just touch, ever since I heard you, I felt like I can relate to your message in some way. I'm lovin your craft, continue to tell your story.

Your friends are your worst enemies

Who els is still listening to this in 2018

people bitching about him snitching, it's easy to say you wouldn't have snitched behind your cute little keyboard. It's easy to say that shit when you weren't the one jumped, stabbed, death threats to your family. saying he's not a real man because he snitched is ridiculous. A real man looks out for his family and himself, because it's survival of the fittest. And you aren't going to survive by sitting there and letting that shit happen to you. Because next hit is going to be either you dead or your family dead. All because you're trying to be a "man" and not snitch? Wake up you fools. When you go home at the end of the day, you go home to your family, not those goons on the streets. You protect your family, not those goons on the streets. Only people i would never snitch on is the family i come home too.

Dang. Phora gos deeper than most rappers. Hes true to himself.

God brought him through this 🙏 to tell his story

FINALLY! A rapper that tells a story!!! Thank you.

My Story" 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.

honestly this made me re think the gang life i mean ive been stabbed shot and beat this relates alot reminds me of my child hood and when my dad used to beat me but honestly imma turn my life around💯 I LOVE YOU PHORA!!!!

I need old Phora back man

You'll get what you deserve Phora! Keep hustling ❤🙌🏻🎧 A grammy and much more👍🏻👍🏻

sometimes listening to the right music can help one realize or resolve personal conflicts/issues that could get you ridiculed or scrutinized and worsen the headache. its a gift having great artists out there who keep it REAL and make relate-able, unfiltered, heart-to-audience music.

Why isnt this on spotify? Anyone else agree.

It’s sad so many people can relate to every lyric Phora spits, but amazing he can touch that many souls and uplift ✊🏽🔥

I know you weren't sure on dropping this track but im so glad you did. I have nothing but more respect for you. Your songs touch me but this one.. man it touched me like no other. Thank you for doing all of this for us, your fans. You have had a huge impact on us no lie. People can say what they want but we know who you are and dont ever forget who you are. Much love marcos , yt

A lot of people don’t deserve you Phora The nicest people get the most hate that I will always defend you fuck all the fake people 😢

I'm still here in 2024.❤

Everybody always goes thru a storm but there is always a rainbow in the end.

LOVE IS SOMETHING THAT BE BROKEN FOREVER.

This means so much to me. Fucked up childhood with a single mother. Depression and sometimes i feel like blowing my brains out. Im only 15 and my mom kicked me out and my dead beat dad didnt want so i live with my grandpa in a place i dont want to be. I just want to talk to you personally phora. Fuck

Everybody left, but I had strength in myself Imma be aight, that’s what I say to MYSELF. So inspiring it gives me Goosebumps.

Dedicated to my son, Serafin, we saw Phora in concert here in Vegas in 2017, ...Phora looks like my son in this video.... Both very Beautiful, life is good ❤️

Wow real deep! I love this

Who else can relate to this lyric ''my mom told me to pick my friends" and later thay ended up betraying you

Honestly im glad im not the only one that feel like this 😔

Man, old classic Phora songs were literally the best.

His story telling skills are amazing, lyrics on point, voice beautiful, I truly missed this song

People that are bullies have no life. If you think that your worthless because people bully you, don't listen to those bullies. Bullies are worst than 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.

Not many rappers anymore tell stories in their raps. But Phora be taking it to that next level. Nothing but love for this guy and his music.

If you're Reading this I wish you Peace🌊Love❤️Prosperity✨and Abundance in all your endeavours💸❤️❄️Live Life but stay woke🧘🏽‍♂️🙌🏾❤️I Love y'all
