Exactly 7 years ago, Drake released his second studio album called ‘Take Care,’ which is probably one of his best albums to date and it dropped some of his biggest tracks like ‘Crew Love,’ ‘Take Care’ and even ‘HYFR.’  The album also had some killer collaborations including The Weeknd, Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, Nicki Minaj, Birdman, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne and Andre 3000.

Unfortunately for Drake, the album was leaked just nine days before its release date.  Shortly after, Drake tweeted, “I am not sure if the album leaked. But if it did thank god it doesn’t happen a month early anymore.  Listen, enjoy it, buy it if you like it…and take care until next time.”

 

Below are the music videos from ‘Take Care’ and also some fire lyrics you could use for the gram.

CREW LOVE

I guess we’ll never know what Harvard gets us
But seeing my family have it all
Took the place of that desire for diplomas on the wall
And really, I think I like who I’m becoming
There’s times where I might do it just to do it like it’s nothing
There’s times when I might blow like fifty k on a vacation
For all my soldiers just to see the looks on all they faces
All it took was patience

 

 

TAKE CARE

All so convinced that you’re following your heart
‘Cause your mind don’t control what it does sometimes
We all have our nights though, don’t be so ashamed
I’ve had mine, you’ve had yours, we both know
We know,
You hate being alone, you ain’t the only one
You hate the fact that you bought the dream
And they sold you one
You love your friends but somebody shoulda told you somin’ to save you

MARVIN’S ROOM

Talk to me please, don’t have much to believe in
I need you right now, are you down to listen to me?
Too many drinks have been given to me
I got some women that’s living off me
Paid for their flights and hotels I’m ashamed
Bet that you know them, I won’t say no names
After a while girl they all seem the same

 

 

THE MOTTO

Now she want a photo Ya
You already know though
You only live once, that’s the motto YOLO
We ’bout it every day, every day, every day
Like we sittin’ on the bench, we don’t really play

 

 

MAKE ME PROUD

I like a woman with a future and a past
A little attitude problem all good, it’ll make the s**t last
And I love it when your hair still wet ’cause you just took a shower
Runnin’ on a treadmill and only eating salad
Sound so smart like you graduated college
Like you went to Yale but you probably went to Howard
Knowin’ you, weekend in Miami trying to study by the pool

 

 

HEADLINES

Might be too strung out on compliments
Overdosed on confidence
Started not to give a **** and stopped fearing the consequence
Drinking every night because we drink to my accomplishments
Faded way too long I’m floating in and out of consciousness
And they sayin’ I’m back, I’d agree with that
I just take my time with all this s**t, I still believe in that
I had someone tell me I fell off, oh I needed that
And they wanna see me pick back up, well where’d I leave it at
I know I exaggerated things, now I got it like that
