Looking at Lyphe Differently is about a kid named Philthe growing up in the scandalous streets of Kansas City. Philthe would have to deal with the struggles of life. Growing up not knowing who his father was. Living in low-income housing projects with no stability. Having to always move from place to place so much that he couldn't get comfortable with the thought of keeping friends. Finding out at a young age that people will come in and out of your life for a season or for a reason. Dealing with mental health issues that doctors or people really didn't put on a person as much as going around today. If an issue arose in that era, you kept it to yourself and tried to put it behind you or figured it out without popping a pill. Some would say that a pill will solve all your problems. The result of that is that one pill was to solve your dilemma but brought about several issues along with the original.

Then there was the gang and crack era. This divided what was left of the community and broke down homes more than government assistance. Ninety percent of the town were on drugs and having drug babies. Kids grew up with dependence, not knowing why they acted the way that they did. Color rags wrapped around human bodies, claiming areas that they will never own. Life, in general, was misconstrued. Everyone was dealt a ghetto dream. It was handing out false love, no unity, heartache, and death by the number of stars in the sky that one could count on a clear night. What it loved the most was giving away fool's gold. A fake reality within a single grasp, but just a mirage once you think you obtained it. The ones that you would chase to the end of the rainbow for the pot of gold and the leprechaun, just to get reeled into a stool full of crap that never flushes. It turns boys into delinquents and bastards. Girls into sack chasers and gold diggers. The blueprint of life was changing.

Bullying was always a part of life for most kids, but with Philthe, he had his hands full of it. Most people will experience death once in a lifetime for their selves and will encounter many others throughout their time on earth. You are born to live and live to die. You will either complete your mission on earth or will be someone else's wake-up call. There are one of three places that you will go after your soul leaves your body: up to the sky, down underground, or you were destined to walk the earth until you completed the task you agreed upon before touching the soil of the earth. Some would say that a child has been here before by certain actions which they would present that only an experienced person would know about. Some would search for their purpose in life. Some would stumble upon it, and others will never know. Some are visionaries that can see their or others' paths. There are also some that turn their heads to the thoughts of knowing what's to come. We all have choices in life. Some are temporary. Some are permanent. Some are good. Some are bad. You just have to live with the direction you choose!
