"Suicidal Thoughts" is a song by the American rapper the Notorious B.I.G. It is the final track on the original pressing of his debut album, Ready to Die, released on September 13, 1994. The song's instrumental is based on a sample of Miles Davis' song "Lonely Fire".

Composition
"Suicidal Thoughts" portrays a phone call between Biggie and Puff Daddy. The song begins with Puff Daddy answering the call, disgruntledly asking why Biggie called him in the middle of a night and expressing concerns about his well-being. This part, used to set up the scene, takes up a quarter of the song. It is followed by a single long verse, containing no hooks, presented as a monologue by Biggie, with occasional interjections by Puff Daddy, who is trying to dissuade him from suicide.
