The Weeknd - Allan Slaight Award Thank You Speech lyrics

Thank you

It's a little overwhelming right now
I'd like to thank the Allan
Slaight family of course
For the recognition

La Mar Taylor my best friend
I convinced him to drop out
Of High School with me
Now he's my creative director and I hope
There's no regrets at this point

Cash and Sal my managers
Who have been with me at my darkest times
And hopefully at my brightest
So thank you guys, i really appreciate it
Drop Life, hardest working man I know
Thank you he does all my branding
So make som noise for Drop Life
Thank you appreciate it

I'd like to thank Hyghly Alleyne
He's not here right now
But he inspired me and opened my
Eyes to the downtown life
Growing up in Scarborough with my mom
Who I put through hell
But she's my biggest inspiration
Thank you mom, appreciate it

Of course I'd like to think
Doc McKinney and Illangelo
Who helped bring my vision to life musically
Trilogy, such an important album to me
And I feel like I would
Not be here without them
I wouldn't be holding this without them
So thank you very much, appreciate that

Of course, uhm daHeala, Danny Boy, Belly
For bringing Kiss Land to life
So thank you guys appreciate that

I wanna thank, of course randy Lennox
Who has supported me from day one
I remember walking into his office
And he just believed in me right away
So thank you Randy Lennox, of course
And I wanna thank Avery, charlie Walk, Puff
Rick Rubin for
That was amazing, I don't what to say to that
Thank you Rick Rubin, appreciate it
Florence, Wiz
Everybody who was apart of that video

And I wanna thank for my fans who
Been with me from day one
XO 'Till We OD, so I love you guys very much
I wouldn't be here without you
And I think it's gonna be a long
Term relationship between me and you

And of course
I wanna thank the city of Toronto
For the endless inspiration
I'm gonna make you proud, hopefully
Thank you
