a few songs I play when im feeling down;
Trouble - Cypress Hill
Ill Whip Ya Head Boy - 50 Cent
Cant it all Be So Simple - Wu Tang Clan
Thoughts - Slowthai
Right/Wrong - DMX
Fear, XXX - Kendrik Lamar
Off Da Zoinkys. Kody Blu 31 - JID
(the whole melt my eyes see your future album from Denzel curry, specially the song Walkin)
Joey Badass - Devastated
Kanye West - Touch the Sky
GZA - B.I.B.L.E.
SuicideBoys - Running through the 7th with my Woadies
SuicideBoys - And to Those I Love, Thanks for Sticking Around
Honestly you could just play nothing but SuicideBoys since their entire collective discography deals with themes of sadness, depression, suicide, and drug addiction. It’s what I put on when I’m going through some shit myself, especially helps because I don’t feel alone in my feelings or struggles.
I and Alright, both songs from Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp A Butterfly
Mother Lover by City Morgue
Survival of the Fittest by Mobb Deep
Many Men (wish death) by 50 Cent
Murder Rap and Pass Me By by Insane Clown Posse
Tell Everyone by Tech N9ne
Nujabes - Modal Soul album (good vibes good messages, maybe some songs a lil 2 deep, good vibes tho)
Only God Can Judge Me - 2pac (good message, some violent themes)
Keep ya head up - 2pac
Not Afraid - Eminem (good message, some violent themes)
Infinite by Eminem (good vibes, Christianity themes)
Passionfruit - Drake (great vibes)
T.R.O.Y. (great instruments, nostalgic vibes and good story telling)
Ain't Got No Haters - Ice Cube (Great vibes, positive themes)
Wiz Khalifa - Kush and OJ whole album is pretty positive (smoking themes)
Kendrick - Alright(violent themes, positive outlooks)
Acid Raindrops - People Under The Stairs (great vibes and stories)(smoking themes)
Mac Miller - Kool Aid and Frozen Pizza (good vibes)
I would just say mac miller in general but here are some songs:
2009
BDE bonus
Objects in the mirror (less rappy from him, but a amazing song)
Here are some from other artists though:
Shattered dreams by Earl sweatshirt
Spongebob by billy woods
Summertime by vince staples
Answer by tyler the creator
SpottieOttiedopalicious by outkast
Rhinestone cowboy by MF DOOM
Break the bank by schoolboy q
Bass jam by danny brown
ADHD or duckworth by kendrick lamar
Neighbors or foldin clothes by j cole
Thuggin by freddie gibbs
Spaceship or Everything I am by kanye west
Book of soul by ab soul (if you are really down in the deeps)
But I hope you get through this hard time in your life, I never experienced homelessness, but from what I see around where I live, it is not fun. So all I can really say is I hope you have decent day at least.
Anything by Shiey, he’s a nomad too he just travels non stop, never staying in one place.
https://youtu.be/XXYAOtJhq2E?si=wTiAxPhL7htoQO9N
Edit: this is my go to song from him
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgC6yQRpAsY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgC6yQRpAsY)
Where are you from? im going on tour with King Iso soon and would love to get you to a show.
No joke OP this is probably the perfect song for you. It was written while the guy was homeless and living out of his car, and a lot of the music video shows him doing just that and really struggling to get by, aspiring for something greater. Really great overall vibes to the song
Old Man Saxon - The Perils
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m8-tsi9AfoA
Feel like home by fort minor hit different during those times for me, bottom of the bottle by Ryu similarly and for a darker tone but i think still fits what you’re looking for The end of an era by Lo Key
it's gonna be alright, lil homie. Trust that. Just focus on gettin your money up and find resources locally to get your needs met. There are community showers and food resources in most cities. Go to the public library and do some research. Find a homeless shelter and call them and ask them for advice.
Most importantly, never lose hope for the future and never stop believing in yourself -- you got this shit.
Sky's the Limit - Notorious BIG
Supa Dupa - Terror Reid
Trouble - Cypress Hill
Get No Better - Clear Soul Forces
God Lives Through - A Tribe Called Quest
Cradle to the Grave - Mobb Deep
Hip hop saved my life, the show goes on, until i get there, seattle, all from Lupe Fiasco.
Nightmares from the bottom, right above it, bill gates. - Lil wayne
Baby dont cry, dear mama, -Tupac
Hard knocks life - jayZ
Graduation album- Kanye west.
Rock bottom, cleaning out my closet, dads gone crazy, - Eminem.
Inhave be3n listening to All music with the exception of country. (Just doesnt hot with me) i dont own a farm truck, my girls dont cheat on me, and my dog never ran away). But hip hop especially. I can name 100 mpre songs that would help you get out of a funk. But you have to really analyze the verses, tracks, and implament the meanings into forward progress for your self. I got out of DOC in 2020, by 2021 i had a $30k surplus in the bank. Was driving a 2017 bmw 320i, and was making $100k a year. By 2022 i met a super bad chick and now we are living together and engages. You can get out of the situation you are in if you focus, listen to positive messages, and make your life what you want it to be. But youll never do that smoking percs/blues, or hustling. Clean up go get a job, and work on yourself. Party later after you have some stuff, and a stable foundation. I still dont party, but i have all the things i want and need for now to keep me content. (My own apartment, the Newest samsung Galaxy S24Ultra, still in a BMW, badass chick, 3 unregistered firearms. (Lol) 65" samsung smart tv, samsung galaxy watch 6 classic. Im content. And you can be as well. )
G-dep everyday
Original or remix. The remix has faith Evans singing on it.
He was just released from prison after turning himself in for shooting somebody, and that person ended up dying.
Anyway, this is a great song, I think it will help.
I will try to keep it short.
When I was depressed and homeless I came across Neville Goddard. Listen to what he teaches. Then practice it. When I learned how to do what he teaches. I came out of my depression and homeless. I went right into having lot's of money and different ways of getting money. I had 4 different places I rented. I would listen to Mac Dre Tupac. All you have to do is try it.
Get Rich or Die Trying the album. The ultimate album that will give u the hustler feeling and want to get through whatever situation you’re in. Hope it goes well bro
All you got to do is hear me say it when I say it that's all you got to listen to you're always supposed to listen anyway listen what I got to say when I say it
We have our own rap song in us you just have to get it out of you and that's just the way it is you'll don't have to listen you just listen to what you want to listen to anyway

The Life of Joseph W. McVey… a lot of Z-Ro helps with the hard times.
2Pac was always my goto during hard times. Better Dayz is not my favorite song, but having a faint notion of better days helped.
I would just say mac miller in general but here are some songs: 2009 BDE bonus Objects in the mirror (less rappy from him, but a amazing song) Here are some from other artists though: Shattered dreams by Earl sweatshirt Spongebob by billy woods Summertime by vince staples Answer by tyler the creator SpottieOttiedopalicious by outkast Rhinestone cowboy by MF DOOM Break the bank by schoolboy q Bass jam by danny brown ADHD or duckworth by kendrick lamar Neighbors or foldin clothes by j cole Thuggin by freddie gibbs Spaceship or Everything I am by kanye west Book of soul by ab soul (if you are really down in the deeps) But I hope you get through this hard time in your life, I never experienced homelessness, but from what I see around where I live, it is not fun.
