There's a pretty sad, shocking and disturbing song by Immortal Technique called "Dance With The Devil" I dare you to read the whole ish and DON'T HAVE the chills... that's pretty graphic and disturbing but yet creative and thoughtful...
"Dance With The Devil"
[Verse 1]
I once knew a ***** whose real name was William
His primary concern, was making a million
Being the illest hustler, that the world ever seen
He used to **** movie stars and sniff coke in his dreams
A corrupted young mind, at the age of thirteen
***** never had a father and his mom was a fiend
She put the pipe down, but every year she was sober
Her sons heart simultaneously grew colder
He started hanging out selling bags in the projects
Checking the young chicks, looking for hit and run prospects
He was fascinated by material objects
But he understood money never bought respect
He build a reputation 'cause he could hustle and steal
But got locked once and didn't hesitate to squeal
So criminals he chilled with didn't think he was real
You see me and niggas like this have never been equal
I don't project my insecurities at other people
He fiended for props like addicts with pipes and needles
So he felt he had to prove to everyone he was evil
A feeble-minded young man with infinite potential
The product of a ghetto breed capitalistic mental
Coincidentally dropped out of school to sell weed
Dancing with the devil, smoked until his eyes would bleed
But he was sick of selling trees and gave in to his greed
[Hook]
Everyone trying to be trife never face the consequences
You probably only did a month for minor offences
Ask a ***** doing life if he had another chance
But then again there's always the wicked at new and advanced
Dance forever with the devil on a cold cell block
But thats what happens when you rape, murder and sell rock
Devils used to be gods, angels that fell from the top
There's no diversity because we're burning in the melting pot
[Verse 2]
So Billy started robbing niggas, anything he could do
He'd get his respect back, in the eyes of his crew
Starting fights over little ****, up on the block
Stepped up to selling mothers and brothers the crack rock
Working overtime for making money for the crack spot
Hit the jackpot and wanted to move up to cocaine
For filling the scarface fantasy stuck in his brain
Tired of the block niggas treating him the same
He wanted to be major like the cut throats and the thugs
But when he tried to step to 'em, niggas showed him no love
They told him any ************* coward can sell drugs
Any ***** ***** with a gun, can bust slugs
Any ***** with a red shirt can front like a blood
Even Puffy smoked the motherfucker up in a club
But only a real thug can stab someone till they die
Standing in front of them, starring straight into their eyes
Billy realized that these men were well guarded
And they wanted to test him, before business started
Suggested raping a ***** to prove he was cold hearted
So now he had a choice between going back to his life
Or making money with made men, up in the cife
His dreams about cars and ice, made him agree
A hardcore ***** is all he ever wanted to be
And so he met them Friday night at a quarter to three
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
They drove around the projects slow while it was raining
Smoking blunts, drinking and joking for entertainment
Until they saw a woman on the street walking alone
Three in the morning, coming back from work, on her way home
And so they quietly got out the car and followed her
Walking through the projects, the darkness swallowed her
They wrapped her shirt around her head and knocked her onto the floor
This is it kid now you got your chance to be raw
So Billy oaked her up and graped the chick by the hair
And dragged her into a lobby that had nobody there
She struggled hard but they forced her to go up the stairs
They got to the roof and then held her down on the ground
Screaming shut the **** up and stop moving around
The shirt covered her face, but she screamed the clawed
So Billy stomped on the *****, until he broken her jaw
The dirty bastards knew exactly what they were doing
They kicked her until they cracked her ribs and she stopped moving
Blood leaking through the cloth, she cried silently
And then they all proceeded to rape her violently
Billy was meant to go first, but each of them took a turn
Ripping her up, and choking her until her throat burned
A broken jaw mumbled for god but they weren't concerned
When they were done and she was lying bloody, broken and broos
One of them niggas pulled out a brand new twenty-two
They told him that she was a witness of what she'd gone through
And if he killed her he was guaranteed a spot in the crew
He thought about it for a minute, she was practically dead
And so he leaned over and put the gun right to her head
[Sample from "Survival of the Fittest" by Mobb Deep]
I'm falling and I can't turn back
I'm falling and I can't turn back
[Verse 4]
Right before he pulled the trigger, and ended her life
He thought about the cocaine with the platinum and ice
And he felt strong standing along with his new brothers
Cocked the gat to her head, and pulled back the shirt cover
But what he saw made him start to cringe and studder
Cause he was starring into the eyes of his own mother
She looked back at him and cried, cause he had forsaken her
She cried more painfully, than when they were raping her
His whole world stopped, he couldn't even contiplate
His corruption had successfully changed his fate
And he remembered how his mom used to come home late
Working hard for nothing, cause now what was he worth
He turned away from the woman that had once given him birth
And crying out to the sky cause he was lonely and scared
But only the devil responded, cause god wasn't there
And right then he knew what it was to be empty and cold
And so he jumped off the roof and died with no soul
They say death take you to a better place but I doubt it
After that they killed his mother, and never spoke about it
And listen cause the story that I'm telling is true
Cause I was there with Billy Jacobs and I raped his mom to
And now the devil follows me everywhere that I go
In fact I'm sure he's standing among one of you at my shows
And every street cypher listening to little thugs flowe
He could be standing right next to you, and you wouldn't know
The devil grows inside the hearts of the selfish and wicked
White, brown, yellow and black colored is not restricted
You have a self destructive destiny when your inflicted
And you'll be one of gods children and fell from the top
There's no diversity because we're burning in the melting pot
So when the devil wants to dance with you, you better say never
Because the dance with the devil might last you forever
I'd say the song "Just a Moment" by Nas was pretty deep as well as "Hey Mama" by Kanye West (R.I.P. Donda West).
Renee by Lost Boyz
Here's a tune about this honey named Renee
That I met one day
On my way back from John Jay
I'm peepin' shorty as she's walking to the train
I tap her on her shoulders
Excuse me Miss, but can I get your name
She said my name is Renee
I said I got a whole lot to say
So may I walk you to your subway
She said if you want
So yo, we started talking
I brought two franks and two drinks
And we began walking
I had to see where that head was at
Because the gear was mad phat
So we must chat about this and that
She told me what she was in school for
She wants to be a lawyer
In other words shorty studies law
I'm telling shorty I'm a writer
And as she's looking for the token
She drops a pack of the EZ-widers
Covers her mouth with her name ring
I said, yo don't sweat the technique shorty rocks
I do the same thing
But yet I use Philly Blunts
She said I never dealt with Philly Blunts
Because I heard that's for silly stunts
I said, nah they burn slower
Right now I really don't know ya
But maybe later on I can get to show ya
Chorus:
A ghetto love is the law that we live by
Day by day I wonder why my shorty had to die
I reminice over my ghetto princess everyday
Give it up for my shorty, shorty(x2)
Verse Two:
So now we sittin' on the train
Besides the fingernails
Now shorty got the hairdo of pain
Now I understand she got flava
A tough leather jacket,with some jeans and a chain that her moms gave her
Got off the train about 6:34
She wasn't sure she had grub for the dog so we hit the store
Went to the crib
And turned the lights on
A mad magazine stand
From Essence to Right On
A leather couch
Stero system with crazy cd's
Understand cause she got G'z
She said cheeks do what you want
She said I'm gonna feed the dog
I said alright well I'm gonna roll this blunt
She came back with stretch pants and a ponytail, a t-shirt
A yo, Fam I got a tender-roni girl
We're sitting on the couch chattin
We're smoking blunts off the balcony
We're stearing at Manhattan now
She started feeling on my chest
I started feeling on the breasts
And there's no need for me to stress the rest
A yo, I got myself a winner
We sparked a blunt before we ate
And a blunt after we ate dinner
She had a tattoo she only wanted Bo to see
But first dim the lights and turn up the Jodeci
I'm like whatever shorty rock
We can swing it like that
Cause on the real this is where it's at.
Chorus (2X)
Verse Three:
I woke up the next day on the waterbed
A letter's on the pillow eh
And this what the letter said
It said cheeks, I'll be home around two
You was deep in your sleep
So I didn't want to bother you
I left my number for shorty to call me later
Got dressed
Smoked a blunt
And then I bounced towards the elevator
I got a beep around three
I'm asking shorty what's up with you
She's asking what's up with me
And now we been together for weeks
Candlelight dinner with my shorty
Crack a 40 with my naughty freaks
Hey man, I never been in love
But everytime I'm burstin' in and outta state
It's shorty that I'm thinking of
I'm hanging out with my crew
I get a beep from Renee
Because Renee uses code too
But yet I'm chattin' with her mom dukes
She said Renee has been shot
So cheeks, meet me up at St. Lukes
I jumps on the Van Wyck
I gotta make it there quick
A yo , this **** is gettin' mad thick
Not even thinking about the po nine
I'm doing a buck, who gives a ****
I'm smokin' boom and the whole nine
I gotta see what's going on
But by the time I reach the hospital
They tell me Mr. Cheeks
Renee is gone
I'm pouring beer out for my shorty who ain't here
I'm from the ghetto
So listen
This is how I shed my tears
Chorus (2X)
anything by Chingy... cuz i get depressed when they call that sh*t hiphop
lose urself by eminem...The intro music itself like as if there is no more eminem albums...
Kanye West- Hey Mama
so sad......he wrote it after his mom died
http://youtube.com/watch?v=JNAR8Gqb1ok
Depressing songs? I find a lot of the depressing ones inspirational in a way but anyways...
Stan-Eminem
Dance-Nas
Sing for the Moment-Eminem
Brendas Got a Baby-Tupac
The Rain-DMX (i guess this one is more insipirational?)
Hold Your Head- Notorious B.I.G. and Bob Marley
not sure
To whoever said it was written after his mom died, "Hey Mama" was written way before his mom died, it was on his Graduation album
A couple of my favorite "sad songs":
-"Life Goes On" by Tupac
-"You Never Know" by Immortal Technique
-"He Say She Say" by Lupe Fiasco
-"Dance" by Nas
-"When I'm Gone" by Eminem
Dear Mama
Definitely "dance with the devil" by Immortal Technique ranks high up on the saddest song chart!
the one that makes me think the most is mam loves me. but i also like renee which i think is in the top 20 rap songs of all time. family busness by k.west
This song is really sad

[Verse 1:]
It was a late, late Sunday
when the drama went down.
Playas smoking on blunts,
playas sipping on Crown,
playas all around.
These G-Ts cuz we looking sexy,
In our spandex dresses,
and we chillin on the Lexus.
Kickin it wit some homies from uptown
Letting us know, some drama bout to go down
We have to get from 'round -
these gangstas
We have our kids up in tha back seat
We strapped tight wit tha glock
in case they bring tha heat
We was chillin on tha driver's side
Killas undisguised
When they did that drive-by.
We heard a kid cry "mommy don't ya let me die"
Seen tha blood and tha tears rollin down my eyes
Call tha cops, forget tha cops,
won't ya grab tha glock.
No time to explain, my baby's been shot
With a AK, killa no way
Cuz I don't play, behind my baby
Lord...,
I heard my baby screaming
"mama come and squeeze me"
As I break down screaming "don't ya leave me"
Paramedics pumpin in her chest to bring her back
Bleeding to death as my baby take her last breath
I drop to my knees, Lord please, help me
don't take my baby, I'll go crazy
The Lord didn't hear my cry cuz my baby died.
I grab my hand as I scream, tryin to wonder why.
As she lay on the concrete,
All bloodied up
And she covered up
With the white sheet.
My heart aching, my knees shakin
As they put her in tha body bag,
I fainted cuz I couldn't take it.
Beatin on tha ground, blood on my hands
Tryna be strong, tryna understand
Im thinking...
Maybe cuz I did so wrong
Im thinking...
that's why my baby's gone.
But baby...mommy still live that thug life
And mommy knows where ya killas live
so everything is alright.
[Chorus:]
mama's hurting baby...
they took mama only baby
and im bout to go crazy [repeat]
[Verse 2:]
As she put to rest, in her pink dress
As I hold my chest, thinking what's next.
As tha tears roll, when tha casket closed
And her father breakin down screaming " Lord knows"
The last word my baby say is "don't cha let me die"
And tha killa think he gonna live but that's a lie
Cuz when I catch ya, ya know that ya life is through
And if I have to do some time, that's what I'm gonna do
And when I catch that thug, ima show no love, have to see my baby girl covered up wit mud.
Im at tha killas house
cuz im full of pain.
His ma gone feel tha same cuz ima blow his brain.
Im at his front do' wit tha 4-5, tears in my eyes, killas gotta die
U kno I did him in, now mommy in tha pen,
I have ya pictures hangin up while I do my 10.
[Chorus x2]
[music]
with a A-K, killa no way
cuz I don't play, behind my baby [repeat]
!!!AND KANYE DID NOT WRITE HEY MAMA AFTER HIS MOM DIED. IT WAS ON HIS LATE REGISTRATION ALBUM!!!
