Eminem is the greatest man. The greatest human to ever live on this Earth. He is such an inspirational man, and this song is one of the most touching and beautiful songs of all time. A beautiful song by a beautiful human.
I'm not a fan of Eminem because of his song about Kim, but this song is one of the only rap songs I listen to because it's so deep and meaningful.
The background music really goes with the lyrics. This song is beautiful! Lyrics and background music!

This song is better than When I'm Gone. Please rank this higher.
How is this one NOT first? Amazing song!

This song is a message about mistreating women, although they almost rule society. It's a heart-wrenching song, yet its beat makes it highly captivating. It hit me hard when I first listened to it with the lyrics. When you think about the ending, it makes you choke up and feel slightly scared. It moves you, but not to tears. It creates a whole new persona as it exposes you to the world of rhyming brutality as Tech expands on a poor young soul corrupted by his greed and society.
I literally get chills every time I listen to this song. The story, the lyrics, delivery, the beat, everything about it just makes you want to cry!

In this song, Tupac talks about his death. Really heart-touching. Now he is gone, but his song still remains in our heart.

This song just represents the struggle for a lot of dads trying to make ends meet. It talks about his childhood and his teenage years and how he wanted to shelter his kids from everything he went through but how things just didn't work out and how the mother developed a habit. Overall, it's a song of apology and regret. It's not as much touching as it is sad.
Most beautiful Eminem song. A better precursor to When I'm Gone. A sort of recapturing in Haile's Song, but this is the BEST Eminem-Hailie song. He just wants to protect his daughter, he loves her, wants her to understand, but at the same time, hopes she doesn't, to save her the grief.

A really touching song on how corrupt the world is today and how we need to start making changes. Just beautiful.
This should be higher. Most of y'all voting are most likely white and don't understand the struggle.
This should be at least top five. Come on! A song about the struggles of life in the ghetto.

So touching! I love Eminem, always have. But this is one of his best!
It deserves to be at the top. Come on, it's better than When I'm Gone!
I love this song. It's awesome. It makes me feel good when I listen to it.

This song is deeply moving, and 2Pac's ability to lay his emotions in his songs is unparalleled in my opinion. I know this song introduced me to rap when I was a kid. Heard it on the radio and was wowed. Spent the rest of the week listening all day, waiting to hear it again.
When do you hear rappers respecting their mama and make a whole song basically apologizing to her for all the crap you put her through? Why is this not at least in the top 5?
Really, 2Pac has done it, and surely the message is so deep!

Definitely the most heart-wrenching song I've ever heard. Made me think back to the times when I had beef with my mother, and though some people say a mother's love is unconditional, it is not true for all. Some of us grew up with a tough childhood. But we love them still because they're our mothers, and no one else can ever replace that.
This was such a beautiful song about him apologizing to his mom. If you listen closely to the lyrics, it's really sad. What also touched me was the anger and sadness in his voice.

Beautiful song. Just listen to it.

There have been many times in my life when I've felt lonely or depressed. Usually, when that happens, I just go about my day like everything's normal, and that's not the best way to approach it.
This song helped me realize that.
If you don't think this song is touching, think twice about the lyrics. This song is about 9/11. Cuss words don't make it "not touching". It's how humans show emotion!

By far, my favorite song ever. This song touches me so much. It represented one of my friends who had passed. This song expressed every tear I had when he died. The greatest song if you ever need help!

Just the video explains it so well. So meaningful and touching!

"The Bible or the rifle... goodnight folks" and the ominous humming are the two parts of this song that hit me the hardest.

There's no such thing as a life that's better than yours! Don't get caught up in expectations and materialism. It's a trap! There's always going to be someone or something that's better than what you already have, even for the rich, so might as well appreciate what's yours and take care of it.
I cried a little the first time I heard this song because it portrays how life can suck, but there will always be someone with a worse life. So, love yours. It does it so well that it gets you feeling.
This is a really well-thought-out song that really shows why life isn't as bad as you think.

This is the most beautiful and thought-provoking rap song ever.

Every time I hear that song, I break down and cry. It tells everything so perfectly that you just can't say anything more. Perfect.

I adore this song. Everything about it has me in awe. The message is constructed so beautifully, and it opens my eyes to the troubles our world is facing today.
This song is amazing, and I'm surprised it's not on here yet.
