Find your Love-Drake


The worst thing about crossing the line, is when you don't know, you already have.....



This song was produced by Kanye, before I found that out I could automatically tell it was Kanye because of how beat sounded like a Kanye song. At first I thought this song was annoying but it grew on me in the last 3 days, its now my ringtone LMAO!
