Songs That Make Me Cry

Sobbing into my iPhone.

This personally is my favorite Drake song. When I went to college I played this over and over! The verse about his uncle has a special place in my heart RIP Uncle Jon.

Some things every man needs to hear from their father put into audio form. The portion regarding addiction hits incredibly hard for me.

Andre 3000… not much more needs to be said here. I literally cannot listen to the DMX outro.

Please call 988

This song just hits a nostalgic chord in my heart and continually pulls at it with that sax sample. I also have a distinct memory of Rap City ending and this being the song playing.

Don’t we all have these thoughts? Whether you have done enough in your life to truly be remembered.

A beautiful yet meloncholic song regarding abortion that could only be written by a woman. Noname ‘s artistry is just ridiculous.

Reason crafts a gut wrenching story from the perspective of letters from someone serving life for murder.

The Black Lip Pastor really went deep recounting their love story after losing the love of his life.

I have lost a few of the women I consider mothers and this song encapsulates the feelings I felt every time.

You cant tell me this aint a gospel song.
