It's Valentine's Day 2016 and you're alone. Why? Maybe you broke things off with your special someone or you simply enjoy being single. Regardless, like every situation in life, there is a rap song to get you through it. Whether it's Future throwing it all away or N.W.A celebrating there being "One Less Bitch," here are 10 rap songs to listen to if you're alone on Valentine's Day.

Listen to this playlist on Apple Music.

Junior Mafia f/ the Notorious B.I.G. "Get Money"

Not Available Interstitial

The famous refrain of "fuck bitches, get money" is the perfect track to celebrate being free and focused on one thing this Valentine's Day: stackin' paper. Whether it be Biggie asking why women want to stick him for his paper or Lil' Kim rapping that she's only got time for diamonds and Armani suits, "Get Money" is the anthem for this Valentine's Day if you would rather spend $200 on a pair of kicks for yourself than $200 on a steak dinner for someone else.

Lil Wayne "I'm Single"

On the creep this Valentine's Day? Leaving your one and only at home in favor of turnin' up and trying to scoop one of those chicks hittin' up singles night? If your answer is yes to these questions, A) you might be a terrible person and B) Lil Wayne's "I'm Single" might be your theme music. On "I'm Single," Wayne's had it up to here with his chick, and instead of the fighting back and forth, Weezy decides to hit the club and declare that tonight, he's single. Fellas, it seems like a good idea, but just remember you're not getting away with the same stuff as Lil Wayne.

Nas "Undying Love"

Not Available Interstitial

We've all been there, and Nas' tale of coming home from a Vegas trip to find his shorty getting it in with another dude is enough to make anyone go off the edge. The sheer rage and franticness that come through on "Undying Love" are enough to make anyone question trusting their girl. And while Nas' tale meets an unfortunate end, if anything, "Undying Love" is a reminder that with great trust comes great responsibility and this Valentine's Day, you might be better off going dolo.

Dru Down "Pimp of the Year"

What does Valentine's Day mean to you. Chocolates? Romantic dinners? Love notes? If you're Dru Down, none of those things come into play. This year, during the most romantic time of the year, take some advice from Dru and learn how to be the "mack playa pimp of the year, bitch." How does one go about this? Well, here are the top three tips from "Pimp of the Year": 1. Give her Hennessy, 2. move on to the next young thing that has it goin' on, and 3. keep 'em in line.

Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa f/ Bruno Mars "Young, Wild, and Free"

Here's the good news if you're alone and single on Valentine's Day. You can essentially do everything outlined in Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa's "Young, Wild, and Free." "So what we get drunk?/So what we smoke weed?/We're just having fun/We don't care who sees." I mean, you literally have one job this year: As Wiz would say, "roll joints bigger than King Kong's fingers." Enjoy this time because who knows, this time next year the chorus you'll be following might be more something like: "So what we sip wine?/So what we drink tea?/We're just on a double date/We don't care who sees."

N.W.A "One Less B*tch"

Not Available Interstitial

Track No. 11 off N.W.A's Niggaz4Life sees Dr. Dre and MC Ren dealing with some schemin' ladies from the hood. Now, the steps taken by Dre and Ren on this track to combat their issues (see: exploiting and killing them) might ensure you a one-way ticket to Valentine's behind bars, but that doesn't mean you can't live vicariously through the West Coast legends as you enjoy a drama-free Valentine's: "But I had better plans to give her the blues/Like dumpin' her in the river with cement shoes." Always about the shoes.

Eminem "Kim"

So everything was going along smoothly with your relationship and then boom, like a bolt of lightning your girl broke things off mere days before Feb. 14. You're filled with rage and too depressed to make plans like other normal singles this Valentine's Day. What do you do? Throw on Eminem's violent kiss-off to his wife, "Kim." Allow Slim Shady to exert your rage for you as he spins wicked tales of sex, murder, and love. How explicit were the wicked tales Eminem spun on this one? It was deemed too violent for the clean version of The Marshall Mathers LP and replaced with "The Kids."

Future "Throw Away"

Are you facing this dilemma on Valentine's Day? You had a girl who you treated like a jump-off. You know, the one you called late at night to do a little sumthin, sumthin. And then you broke it off with her thinking that you wanted to be single and then all of a sudden, the most romantic time of the year rolls around and you're left sitting alone with Netflix and no chill. Future's "Throw Away" is the perfect theme music for this very confusing dilemma.

Eamon "F*ck It"

They always come crawling back—at least that's what your friends are going to be telling you this year about your recent break-up. And while the thought of rekindling romance on the most romantic day of the year is appealing, you might want to fire off Eamon's pop-rap hit of 2004, "Fuck It": "Fuck all those kisses—they didn't mean jack!/Fuck you, you ho! I don't want you back."

Trina "Single Again"

Not Available Interstitial

"I'm single again, back on the prowl": This line anchoring Trina's "Single Again" is all the inspiration single ladies need this Valentine's Day to get up, get out, and get somethin'. And while "Single Again" does provide some great advice, don't let this one line from the song fool you to think this is what you had to: "Friends say what we had was like Jay and Beyoncé." Nobody has what Jay and Beyoncé have. Happy Valentine's Day.
