On April 29, 2016, Aubrey Drake Graham (aka Drake) released his much anticipated fifth studio album, VIEWS. I think I speak for many when I say VIEWS was not what we were expecting. After the release of "Summer Sixteen" and "Pop Style" many were expecting an album full of summer anthems and songs to "get lit" to.
Although the album did not include many of these songs, we did see another side of Drake that we haven't seen in a while: Drake from Take Care. The smooth melodies, heartfelt vocals and deep meanings reminded us of the "old Drake". Views is a phenomenal album and here are some of the best lyrics from it.
From: "Keep The Family Close"
“If I ever loved you I’ll always love you, that’s how I was raised.”
From: "9"
"I wanna do major things / MJ in every way, I just don't fade away"
From: "U With Me"
Three dots, you thinkin' of a reaction still / While you're typin' make sure you tell me
From: "Feel No Ways"
"I had to let go of us to show myself what I could do"
From: "Hype"
They wanna be on TV right next to me / You cannot be right here next to me / Don't you see Riri right next to me?
From: "Weston Road Flows"
“Lookin’ in the mirror I’m closer than I really appear / Creepin’ like Chilli without the tender, love, and care”
From: "Redemption"
“Who’s gonna save me when I need savin’? / Since Take Care, I’ve been caretakin'”
