and heres the worst part about all this. i was setting up my gmail tto use on my phone when the phone got stolen . i never got the new password and the old one doesnt work. now google just keeps saying they cant verify that its my account. and everything i had was in this account, my numbers pic address everything
 
So you're saying that someone stole your phone before you finished logging into your Google account on your new phone?

Did you go to your account on a computer browser to repair that Google account? You should be able to change and verify your credentials on the computer and then use those to log into your account on the phone.

Just to add, if you don't actually have your own computer/laptop available there should be publicly available, online PCs at a local library. Lots of local community colleges and a number of non-profit community centers will have open computer facilities too.
And don't forget to de-link that stolen phone from your Google account:
