[Verse 1]
Take your nose off my keyboardWhat you bothering me for?
There's a room full of niggas
What you following me for?
This ain't no fucking sing-along
So, girl, what you singing for?
It's cause we blowing like a C4Got my whole crew blowing like a C4
20, keep the bar rolling
Fake ID's in the trash, we goingStraight to the top, rooftop glowsWith a hand full of girls and they all so foreign
Brain so poisoned, rainbows flowing
Light-skinned chick, first flight from PolandA whole lotta friends, first flight from PolandA whole lotta cash coming straight from Poland, why? Cause
[Hook]

Oh, they loving the crew
Oh, they loving the crew

[Verse 2]
If you broadcast swag, nigga, we the news in your city
Need proof, ask your girl's titties, she on the right side
SSL on the left, saying we the best
She wants to be friends with the crew
Take a lot of pics and travel where we move
Model on stage while I'm singing in her ear
20,000 fans get jealous up in here
They don't even care, girl, give it a rest
Ain't no fucking pussy gonna stick out from the rest
Girls with big breasts ain't shit without leg
'Least in my books so put me through this test, I could care less
Penelope Cruz, Natalie Portman, please holla at your dude
Used to rap blues for the girls with tattoos
Used to rap blues for the girls with tattoos
Don't you forget it, girls like Gia, girls with no visas
Addicted to the life, french girls named Mia
Cause my chick might be the next Keira Knightley
So baby, you can talk if you want, talk if you want
Talk if you want, talk if you want

He had some absolutely incredible production for an artist who hadn't really blown up yet
Well his friends are all sound engineers, and I imagine he picked up some of it himself as well.
Yo
illangelo his day 1 producer and engineer. this is kinda miracle. Illangelo is crazy talented and Abel too thats so special they find each other very early. when u think about this is kinda crazy one in a million shit and it created our generations biggest artist
Production is absolutely mesmerizing
@@agro9883 this album wasn’t made by him just picking up “some” of his boys skills 😂
what type of fuckin drug is in the weeknd's old songs? this just made my heart sink, this is perfection.
idk but it’s so addicting 😩
frfr
WOAHHHHHH AYEEEEEEE OOOOOOOOOO
Cocaine
XO
he should release his versions of all of the songs he gave drake
Jarvis Hooks 💯
Yesssssssss
I can’t die until I hear his original Shot For Me demo.
Shot for me is the one I wanna hear, you can tell Weeknd came up wit that shit
Jose Ayala and practice
mad it took 5 years for this to be finally released. heard the kitchen recording of it and knew it had to be out there. Thursday or EoS needed this!
For real man
Thursday did not need this idk what you talkin bout. Maybe EoS did

I lied thursday was the worst one of the three probably wouldve been nice to have this on it. But this song woulda been on HoB
it was gonna be on HOB according to Abel
This Abel is untouchable
goated
Goated on the sticks aka PS4
Goated on the Vocals
idk this new album might break the internet more than after hours
He da goat 🐐
I can never listen to this song just once, it always has to be on repeat. It was amazing experiencing this era of music, we were absolutely spoilt.
exactly but drake …
@@reauxcroix654 nothing wrong with drake either during this era we got some absolutely incredible music from him aswell its not like abel wrote this entire album
❤yes same way I feel ❤
@@MaierSuchowIansky 60-70% of it lmfao
This song always hits me with how he predicted his future life. Gives me chills how determined some people are to follow their insane dreams.
aye real shit dude really spoke all that shit into existence x10
I wonder where Drake would be today without the Weeknd's genius.. This is fire
KCBraiz ew! (lol) good point
KCBraiz he still would be Drake lmao. The Weeknd immensely help shape the sound of Take Care but the songs that did best on his album in the billboards were Take Care, Make me Proud, Marvin's Room,The Motto all songs The Weeknd didn't help out in. Then from then on the rest of his albums The Weeknd had no influence at all on him. Safe to say Drake would be more or less in the same position he is now.
GiantsRTheBest1 pbr&b from weeknd which helped drake more so
GiantsRTheBest1 The Weeknd actually gave most of the take care album to drake. Drake discovered him, The Weeknd gave him songs early on because this was way before he was famous, and drake turned some of The Weeknd's songs and his own into the take care album. And yeah. That includes Marvin's room.
A.J. Mason okay first of all The Weeknd says he gave half of *his* album so it's HOB not Take Care. Second of all without The Weeknd there would be no Take Care but without Drake there would be no Weeknd, it was a mutual benefit. Third of all every song The Weeknd helped out in is credited on the album and Marvin's room is def not one of them just listen to the shit The Weeknd sang about during that time of his life and and look at Marvin's Room. Two completely different set of minds The Weeknd basically saying all women are sluts and how fucked up he gets at parties and Drake saying women are delicate flowers.
I’m addicted to this version this shi crazy.
my ears have been blessed. sorry Drake, i love you but i have to admit this version is A LOT better xD
Truth frrrrrrrrrr 😣😣
I have Admit it 🤗😏It's Beautiful
Drake's version is wayy better. You act like the Weeknd's second verse added an extraordinary amount of stuff....
mrvbadass it did, this version is MUCH better than the original, tbh the beat just fits the weeknds style more than drake
mrvbadass people are allowed to have opinions and different taste in music.
I got into The Weeknd super fucking late, around fall of 2016. I soon learned almost all the lyrics to all of his songs, I then found out he helped out with half of Take Care, which is basically my favorite Drake album.
Me 2, I knew his singles playing all the time on the radio but I didn't know much about him, his albums, first time my ex gf showed me him before Starboy release (month before) it was first time I ever heard "In the night", "Adaption", "Shameless", we were driving a car for hours listening to his music, spending time on back, making love, being together for half night, damn. Now it's almost 5 months since she broke up with me, we were 2 years together and everytime I listen to Abel's songs I have flashbacks about her, still waiting for Chapter 6!
welcome to the other side
Bro sorry but how old or young are you to only have discovered him 3 years ago you’ve been sleeping for too long man
I’m glad I knew of him since 2011 😭
Zay Flacko he gave him 2 songs, and helped on another 2, that’s for. The rest was Drake and 40. Get your facts right
The best "mainstream" artist in the business for me.
His voice is pure Velvet. Plus his music has more depth
he’s very talented
Oh ur a newby lol ..
this version could possibly be my favourite song ever and i’m angry it’s not on any other platform
Same this song is in my opinion perfect
Agreed it's too good
Bruh the weeknd was WAYYYY before his time.
True
Way before bro
Nah, we are way after his
Swear to God...
I had no clue he had an original version of this….holy hell this is fire
yeah before he give it to drake
Wow that second verse was crazy wtf
Freeestyle
ur not wrong jesus christ man
Shit was fire
@Alex Your baby daddy ya the weeknd himself says it was trash lol..still better than most artists stuff lol
Was not expecting that
The Weeknd should do a care package type album with all he original demos of the songs he gave Drake. Also the unreleased songs he has
Something’s you just gotta let die…
I feel like drake would sue the fuck out of him, even tho there his songs, Drake petty asf
Birthday suit needs to be on platforms other than youtube
In desperate need of that care package in 2024
@@idccrispy😂 I feel like drake prays on his downfall everyday since he failed to chain weeknd up in his ovo sweatshop
I'm in love with this version of The Weeknd, because this is perfection without Drake. Everything from the beat to the lyrics is raw, edgy and cool.
Y'all know the drill, if it ain't XO it must go
@@ElectricMan3444 lol
1:41 that high note gets me every time, perfection
I know.....this MF can sangs his ass off!!!!!
Ong that part hits 😊
On repeat for two weeks now
Just two?
@@Afromartian LMAOOOO
Been going through my old Playlist from high school and the last few hours have been a ride. It takes me back to where I was and puts into perspective how much time has past, how much I have been through and how much I've changed since then. Bittersweet.
im pissed im only listening to this years later
P same
Same
This song beautiful for real
you get mad very easily then.. over nothing, might want to take anger management bud
I found it in 2017, forgot about it in 2019 and now just found it again since I decided to listen to XO music again.
The thing I love about this track is that it really captures that Toronto downtown feel on a Saturday night in the right club or penthouse party (during this time frame). Always thought Drakes verse was unnecessary on this track. #salute for the upload
Facts
drakes part has Houston vibes
@@sidewalksurfer96 naw i say the weeknd has more houston vibes tbh
@sidewalksurfer96 nah it has pedo vibes.
Whats crazy is that I just can't wrap my head around how this guy started from doing drugs in a house too selling out stadiums and becoming the most famous musicians if all time
Been Abels fan since 2011 .....Ethiopia 🇪🇹
"Without Drake" is Chef's kiss 💋
It’s aged beautifully
Yall kdot glazers going mad ngl . assholes fr
@@desireegolnick-ross1887When I first heard this song on the radio driving back home to Oakland, I instantly told my girl next to me that this dude is going to be huge since the sound, vibe, and production are absolutely amazing. Then Drake's goofy verse would invade it and ruin the whole aesthetic of the record like usual.
@@desireegolnick-ross1887 its somehow worse
@kierannyaga5964 how rape sucks.
I see "without drake", I click it.
Gabriele Garcia 😂😂😂
True
💙
@@valyygg who else thought he sounded like the singer the dream when this song first came out?.
HAHAHAHAHAA
*Such a nice melody to hear before sleeping.*
I remembered hearing Weeknd's songs, when there were no face on it. There's something special when artists make music prior to becoming mainstream. It's like it's more genuine.
We WERE ROBBED. Abel had to give away such a great song
Don’t worry, you got the song and Abel got the money, relax
Drake never mached the Energy or Vibe of this song.
Now that I’m hearing this he really didn’t fit
Abel said that he gave this to Drake cause he didn’t like his second verse. Drake should’ve just made Abel do his second verse over after the rap cause the album version is way too short.
Yeah, like, the song could have 3 verses with 2 hooks, I was annoyed.
His second verse is the best part of this whole song
@@charlieferrari agreed
tbh imo weeknd second verse was kinda bad, drake came in 🔥 it supposed to be an hype song
@@charlieferrari facts
This version of The Weeknd will always be my favorite.
Exactly same 🖤
THIS SONG being the first time i heard the weeknd ages ago, hearing the second verse for the first time is blowing my MIND!!!!!!!!!!!
Verse 1]
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 fucking sing-along
So, girl, what you singin' for?
It's cause we blowing like a C4
You know my whole crew blowing like a C4
20, get the bar rolling
Fake ID's in the trash, weed blowin'
Straight to the top, rooftop glows
With a hand full of girls and they all so foreign
Brain so poisoned, rainbows flowin'
Light-skinned chick, first flight from Poland
A whole lotta friends, first flight from Poland
A whole lotta cash coming straight from Poland

@@alexpho1528 stop crying lil bro
gracias
@@alexpho1528 Ok and?
The only stain on The Weeknds career is letting that vulture Drake anywhere near his songs.
????? He copied drakes so far gone sound
One of the most beautiful chord progressions ever written.
Imagine if Drake didn't take half of House of Balloons... 🎈
even more amazing :)))))))))
Those songs wouldn’t be the same if drake wasn’t on them. I fuck with the weeknd but drake made the songs hot with his verses. Abel most likely wrote the hooks and even on the ride he’s just providing the singing on the background, you guys act like he made the whole song and drake just recited what was given to him lol
I'm not denying that Take Care was not amazing, I love Drake, it's just I am personally curious what Abel would have done with the songs himself, and if he would have scrapped other songs on House of Balloons.
Brett910 those songs wouldn't have fit with the sound anyways
Meadow Creek We will never know, Crew Love & Good Ones Go definitely could have fit though.
The real Toronto God !!
that outro gives me chills every time
i dont know why but I feel like trilogy is just perfect, nothing to ad or subtract. Its just perfect the way it is imo. Abel did an incredible job filtering all of the content he had. This song wasn't destined to be on any of the 3 mix tapes and in some way trilogy wouldn't have been the same with this particular song in it. So maybe thats good?
axczw I would've loved a couple more songs like Thursday though
I agree house of balloons wouldn't be HOBwith this on and I feel like take care is a side part to house of balloons as they all came out around the same time. Imagine if the weeknd wasn't on take care with this song and had it to himself. I think the fact he had such amazing features on drakes album and the projects he was dropping himself all added to the buzz and helped add the extra bit of attention onto Abel. Like shit this guys dropping his own style music and dominating it all over drakes project too we have to check this guy out
HOB is GOAT
yah, the more ambient the weeknd, i hear you bruh..thursday was the most ambient song on the mixtape thursday & the album trilogy....
ruclips.net/video/woa0_UoFQfQ/видео.html
This version conveys the feeling like you're on a cruise or yacht more than the official.
Wonder how Weeknd's original version of the whole Take Care album sounded.
*1:48** for **2:52** BEST PART*
Isnt that on drakes album? I could have swore i have heard that?
@@eyesaccoffeeaddict2333 the first 2 lines are used to fade into the outro of the one with drake
@@ThyNycest Ahh okay, I listened to both side by side and noticed it
i literally can't understand a word he's saying during this part
@@aryamazandarani6373 ill quote one line “girls with no visas” “French girls like mia”
This is not the "original" song that was gonna be used in HOB. The beats that you hear throughout the song were the beats created by 40 for the song that we know today. This is just the regular song with drakes part taken out and The Weeknd's second verse put in. His original song was much slower
true but this is the closest we'll get for now
GiantsRTheBest1 how do you know this? You seem to be quite the Weeknd expert
GiantsRTheBest1 how do you know? and is there a way we can get it or nah?
????? You didnt reply bro
OQ maybe coz he doesn't know
You immediatly got me without drake. He dosnt deserve a single minute in The Weeknds music!
“Without Drake” I felt that
I've always thought drakes part never even really fit the song and this is just perfect
6 years and this song is still a banger.
Wow! This definitely sounds amazing. Just hearing Abel's beautiful angelic voice definitely takes me places that I never felt. I'm definitely feeling this version of this song
We really don't be getting creative producers/ engineers who really put alot of effort on making songs differently amazing
More of a vibe without drake part
Lanay Xo drake gave it a more electric feel to it
True, but drake's verse on this was so damn good
Dankest Ranch fax
nah
True, Drake's verse just sounded really out of place and imo it was mixed too loud
The production is top quality hope someone releases an instrumental for this at some point
man u just had to be there.. to understand how classic this one is! gen z dont know none about this one
I’m Gen Z but ok…Gen Z begins from 1997 btw so im very sure gen z knows EVERYTHING
i’m gen Z (25 ) and we grew up with these mixtapes too lol
You should be saying Gen A but okay bud
also i was born in 2004 so i remember every single weeknd song lol
You know Gen Z starts at 1997 right?
I’m 17 and feel nostalgia bc my mom always played this when I was little, we didn’t miss out as much as y’all think we did
I keep coming here every few days, I literally cant get enough of this song. wish drake never ruined it
now im waiting on the shot for me version
right ....
みうな 327 That'd be dope.
みうな 327 z
Onmm
On god
The fact The Weeknd set the ambience and gave drake half of house of balloons for Take Care.. That mixtape alone including Trilogy changed R&B. Moody, alternative R&B had an entire breakthrough thanks to The Weeknd and Drake. From 808's to So Far Gone to Trilogy. A trilogy indeed. Will forever rep XO.
Why am I now hearing the full version? Jesus christ this is beautiful
i love the weekend man he just does stuff right
oh my god i never knew there's such a version i expected a poor edit but holy fuck. THIS IS BEAUTIFUL
It’s a demo still
Every day i listen this. Its feeling is another level🖤
This is why i love the live version of this
I didn't know this version existed, but this just takes me back. So Iconic.
SWEAR I LOVE THIS VERISON
Woah, I didn't know there was a version without Drake. This is even nicer!
Better already just because of the title
You are dum
I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS OML!!!
Found it guys
duuuuuude where did u get this from ? ;oooo
I cannot believe I am just hearing this now. Wow so much better!
Better than the version with drake on it and this song is still amazing and timeless. it never gets old. it sounds better than everything out now. XO
I heard this song around the time it came out and it was really good and it is one of my favorites till this day
This is the first time I'm hearing this and I LOVE IT. I agree with others on here he should release it.
November 2024, RIP Joshie Josh😇 thanks for singing this song at the top of your lungs as a young man. I still love it and you always❤
The Weeknd will always be one of the best of our generation 👏💜
I could see this being on Thursday, more so EOS though because of the feel of this song is similar to Montreal. Or HoB maybe before wicked games on the track list.
I think that is better as leftoff
i feel you, i actually understand when you say it could be on thursday cuz it does have that ambient vibe
I would actually put it before the morning because the third song on HoB is HoB/Glass table girls. The ending of that song is upbeat and dark and would transition beautifully into this song. The reason why I don’t think I would go good before wicked games is because it’s after the morning and that song is kind of slow.
Imagine this like after hob (the song)
Bruh….the fact that this song was supposed to be on The Weeknd’s debut album but ended up giving to Drake is pretty depressing.
Anyone thinking it was just 4 songs for take care is dumb. The weeknd gave that album it's whole vibe. Unless you're telling me I'm so proud is your fav song off that album
the weeknd took drakes "dark vibe" to begin with, he just made it even darker, he even said it himself.
henny hefner sorry that’s absolutely false
LK6Gaming relax casual. Both The Weeknd and Drake are gods at music.
henny hefner the weeknd didnt take shit, trilogy is all the weeknd singing about the shit that went down in his life. he made himself
@@db4695 Drake discorvered Abel's dark sound and wanted him to help out. I still only think Drake only took like 3 songs but if there is a dark vibe it's because of The Weeknd (Abel).
3:10 i can listen to that all day.....
Everytime the drake version comes on my shuffle ..I stop and come here 🔥
I get chills listening to this version ❤
Shouts out to all the girl's out there late night driving slappin some weeknd.
ty for the shout out
🤓
Omg this is even better than the version with Drake
This aged well
OH MY GOD FINALLY
This sound is timeless not just the track
A boy trying to climb a ladder that he didn’t belong on, he was already superior to his piers. A legend in the making 😊
I want to listen to this song while watching the sunset and sipping hard liquor 😭
Holy shit that verse! SO VIBEY!! I needed this back in 2012 - 2013 maaaan!! First time i'm hearing this!
the ending is just so much more awesome
Nothing will ever match this vibe
I didn’t even know he had his own version with this song wowwww amazing abel
ARE YOU KIDDING ME. the whole part around 2:19 is fire! I'm kinda mad this wasnt the original
2:48 talk if you want
Not sure why this one isn’t mainstream drake killed it but this one is gold
there's no take care without the weeknd
Wow I am super late. This is my first time hearing this. I had no idea there was an original version to this song all this time wtf. I love this way better
If your listing to this
Just know
Your truly absolutely amazing
IMHO this version is better ❤️
the quality is crazy good wtf
Did you say without Drake....🏃🏿♂️🏃🏿♂️🏃🏿♂️🏃🏿♂️
Lerumo 😂😂
