Still A Kid
Phora Lyrics

I'm still a kid, so I still make mistakes I just wanna live yo, before the good times fade away
Phora is still young and learning, so he understands that he will make mistakes. He just wants to enjoy his life before he loses the happy moments.

Look, Ayo, I′m just another young katt coming from the bottom I don't want no beef (naw), I don't want no problems But y′all won′t never get it right, I ain't scared I just got better shit to do then fight amongst my fears
Phora is from a tough background and wants to avoid conflict. He opts to focus on his personal growth instead of worrying about other people's perception of him.

Honestly it kinda hurts ′n' it′s a shame, how All the kids I use to know just wanna hate now 'N′ As time passed, I seen who really is down I never brought up the katts trynna bring me down Cause that's just a waste of my time and time is precious and it's running out I′m takin′ what's mine
Phora is disappointed that people he used to know have turned against him. However, he realizes that focusing on those negative experiences won't yield positive results, and instead chooses to work hard to achieve his own success.

Everybody got that kid deep down inside of ′em Some play with toys, some got the toys on aside of 'em Finna do a niggaa do, like he did when playing Grand Theft Auto He′s still a kid, so that pride is pretty hard to swallow You wanna be the toughest kid on the block 'N′ He was 'till that niggaa started hearing them shots Kids killing kids, asking myself when will it stop Another dead on the news, it makes me sick when I watch
Phora recognizes that everyone has a youthful spirit within them. Some express it in harmless ways, while others may resort to violence. He has witnessed the unfortunate reality of kids taking innocent lives and is saddened by the continuing cycle of violence.

I just wanna live my life before the now becomes a memory 'N′ I just hope they remember me
Phora wants to make the most of his young life and hopes that people will remember him for the positive impact he made in the world.

Look, I′m still a kid and I'll prolly always will be ′N' I ain′t trippin' if none of this rappers feel me Cause it′s what saved me from hanging thugs 'n' packin′ guns I just hope my mom is proud of what I′ve become
Phora sees himself as someone who will always embody a youthful spirit. He doesn't care if other rappers don't relate to his experiences, as his focus is on using music as an outlet to stay out of trouble. He hopes his mother is proud of the positive direction his life has taken.

So don′t be mad if something happend 'n′ I cancel a show Just know that I had to go, but I'll be back for some more Yo, I wanna be a rolemodel to this kids ′n' help But it′s hard to teach 'em to grow, when you' a kid yourself
Phora recognizes that he is still young and has a lot to learn, so he may need to cancel shows at times. However, he still wants to be a positive influence for kids, even though he is still learning and growing himself.

(Yeah, I'm still a kid, and I ain′t usin' that as an excuse I just got a lot to learn ′n' that's the truth)
Phora acknowledges that he may not have life figured out yet, but he isn't using his youth as an excuse. He is determined to continue learning and growing as a person.
