1. "7 AM on Bridle Path" Drake, 2021
This is a great song because I love what he says in the 12 secs of the song. I think every teen should understand this part in the song (“I wish everyone could tell me exactly what they need from me, the first second they speak to me, I'm not with all secrecy, secretly beef with me behind closed door but playing it peacefully for the street to see”) because it could help them in life.
2. "Double Up" Nipsey Hussle, 2018 (Explicit Language warning)
This song to me speaks about leveling up and you can do anything in life no matter what. Double Up is a song to encourage anyone that’s going through a tough time.
3. "Hussle and Motivate" Nipsey Hussle, 2018 (Explicit Language warning)
This is a great song to up lift you when you feel like giving up.
Everyone should listen to this song because this is a great song when your driving late at night vibing.
5. "BOSS" The Carters, 2018
This is for the ladies. Ladies can listen to this when they feel like they are that girl or when they have succeeded in something that is very important to them like getting their own place, starting their own business, getting a job, or finishing college.
6. "Wins and Losses" Meek Mill, 2017 (Explicit Language warning)
Win and Losses is a great song to listen to when you feel like someone is trying to bring you down or don't see great in you.
7. "D.T.B." A Boogie with da Hoodie, 2016 (Explicit Language warning)
Everyone should listen to this song when someone close to you hurts you or if you have trust issues. I listen to this song to remind me that I'm good by myself and don’t need anyone.
8. "Good Morning" Kanye West, 2007
Every senior should listen to this song their whole senior year till they graduate because this song fits perfectly for graduation and every senior should be proud of themselves because they are completely done with school and ready to start a new journey in life and become an actual adult.
9. "I'm Tired" Labrinth & Zendaya, 2022
This song is kind of depressing but I feel like every teenager can relate to this. If you are going through a tough time in life you should listen to this because I think it would help teens to understand that they shouldn't give up so quickly, things will get better.
10. "Stand by Me" Ben E. King, 1961
This song gives me strength and I think it should give others strength because as long as you have someone close to you that you love, everything will be okay.
