R&B artist Drake uses a sample of The Winans “The Question Is” in his new song “Views.”  The Winans’ “The Question Is” debuted in 1981.  Here’s the wording sample:

The Winans – “The Question Is”

“The question is: Will I ever leave you?
The answer is: No, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

The question is: When will Jesus return?
I want you to know soon, soon
Soon, soon, soon, soon.”

Drake – “Views”

“Oh, I love the Lord for He’s so dear to me
Oh, He died that I might be free
I was asked this question and the answer is still no

I’m presenting my body, a living sacrifice
All I’m gonna do is the will of Christ
I was asked this question and the answer is yes

Now the question is: Will I do his will?
And it’s yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes

I was at home late one night
The Lord asked me would I do His will
I told Him yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes

Look at the crisis in Iran
Russia’s already invaded Afghanistan

Oh, if you’ve questioned when Christ is coming
The answer is soon.”
