My favorite is XXXTentacion's "Jocelyn Flores", a song that has given me great power for a while, making me feel another taste outside of boring life. XXXTentacion's songs always carry a kind of strength in mourning, he is not preaching self-abandonment and giving up life, but teaching you another attitude towards life.
Listen to XXXTentacion and you will understand his inner world.
