Crew Love
Drake · Take Care [2011]
Listen, listen, woah, ayyy, listen, ooooh
Take your nose off my keyboard
What you bothering me for?
There's a room full of niggas!
What you following me for?
This ain't no f-ckin sing-along
So girl, what you singing for?
Cause we blowing like a C4
Got my whole crew blowing like a C4
20, keep the bar rolling
Fake ID's and the trash we going straight to the top
Rooftop close with a handful of girls and they all so foreign
Rain so poisoned, rainbows flowing
Light skinned chick, first flight from Poland
A whole lotta friends, first flight from Poland
A whole lotta girls, first flight from Poland
[Hook]
Why? Cause they loving the crew, they loving the crew
They loving the crew
Oh, they loving the crew
Oh, they loving the crew
They loving the crew
They loving the crew
Oooooh,
[Drake]
Smoking weed under star projectors
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 50k on a vacation
For all my souldiers just to see the looks on all they faces
All it took was patience
I got a lot of friends to come up off the strip for me
The same ones that'll come up off the hip for me
The realest niggas say "your lyrics do shit for me"
I told my story, it made history
Tell 'em I'ma need reservations for 20
I've never really been one for the preservation of money
Nah, much rather spend it all while I'm breathing
That OVO and XO is everything that you believe in
[Hook]
[Outro]
Cause we blowing like a C4
Got my whole crew blowing like a C4
If you broadcast swag, nigga we the news in the city
Crew Love
"Crew Love" is a seminal hip-hop track by Drake, released on the 2011 album Take Care. Featuring Future, the song blends Drake's melodic vocal style with Future's emerging trap-influenced delivery, establishing a sonic template that would define the genre's evolution in the 2010s. The recording features a minimalist, atmospheric production that emphasizes the interplay between the two artists' voices, creating a moody and introspective vibe characteristic of the era's shift toward emotive, sample-driven hip-hop. As a cornerstone of Drake's discography, the track highlights his ability to collaborate and adapt his sound while contributing significantly to the development of modern trap music. Its enduring popularity underscores its role as a defining moment in contemporary R&B and hip-hop history.
