Top Lyrics
"Now that both of us, are colorblind, ’cause the other side looks greener, Which leaves your turf in a Boise State, can’t see a play or the team"
- The Real Her (Andre 3000 Verse) 

"We know, they don’t get you like I will, My only wish is I die real, Cause that truth hurts, and those lies heal"
- Take Care (Drake Verse)
"Know you’ve been hurt by someone else, I can tell by the way you carry yourself, If you let me, here’s what I’ll do, I’ll take care of you, I’ve loved and I’ve lost"

- Take Care (Rihanna Chorus)

  
First impression of "Take Care" below:

The album leaked yesterday and is nothing short of spectacular with all the hype that has surrounded this album as being "album of the year". Classic Drake with about half low-key songs and the other half are upbeat and coming at you. The one line that stuck out to me is at the end of "Shot For Me" where Drake talks wisdom:

"May your neighbors respect you, trouble neglect you, angels protect you, and heaven accept you"



I really like the Rihanna collabo named after the album "Take Care". I personally can relate to this song and the lyrics are really strong. Here's the song:
"Take Care"

Andre 3000 thoroughly annihilates "The Real Her" with his verse. People think his flow is wack, but I will always love the innovation and word play he has used since Outkast. 


All the songs on the album are good in one way or another, and I am happy we all waited those extra weeks for Drake to add a couple songs to the album. I can't think of another hip-hop album that beats "Take Care" this year. It DEFINITELY puts "The Carter IV" to shame. Remember, "Take Care" debuts November 15th! OVO XO

Take Care = FIRE
