Annakin Slayd May The Wind Be At Our Backs Lyrics

It's a funny thing about truth, it's non-negotiable
Like an NFL O-line it's not encroachable
The more that I doubled down the less I was approachable
And it's like the more that I know, the less I'm sociable
Maybe I shoulda turn right back but this shit's not reversable
Maybe I wouldn't had to explain how it's not personal
Maybe I kept pushing people away to stay up in the zone
But you know I was afraid I'd end up all alone

When I was an adolescent barely unhooked from Phonics
I used to listen to Bacdafucup, Tical and Chronic
I used to fancy myself like a quasi Nostradamus
But I never coulda predicted that I'd make a track with Onyx
I'd like to thank Stick and Fredro for giving' Slayd a chance
And my friends at Adrenaline I hope you had a blast
After my Habs track the haters gave me my first test
But once more I survived and went on tour with INS
I'll always thank Deck for telling me there's no time to rest
That old cliche I did this shit my way and tried my best
They say never read the comments man you'll just get depressed
But it's all the people who believed in me that I won't forget

May the wind be at our backs
Let the hope stay with our souls
Oh lord, this undertaking
Sure has took its toll
May the wind be at our backs
Let the hope stay with our souls
Oh I might not understand it
Just trying to go with the flow

It's a funny thing about showbiz, lucky I got the chance
But I was so caught up in the Music, I forgot to dance
But I had so much to prove, How did it go so fast
Maybe I had so much to lose, forgot to make it last
And I know I'll never be superstar that time has passed
And I know I won't win a Grammy, at least not with these raps
But that means I won't get to make the speech I always planned
But if I make it right now, hope you will understand

I'd like to thank you for this imaginary award This could never have not happened without all your support
You need the loyalty of your soldiers when you go off to war
Then you need the faith and the love when pick yourself up off the floor
Now there's some people, without them I bet that I'd be lost
What would my songs be without Cryzor and Impega Kross
Mitch Album held it down Mitch Melnick first to put me on
08 felt like 93, never looked back then just beyond
I put the work in to keep my feelings from hurtin'
Expos Nation lifted me by giving me some purpose
They say shit or get off the pot
So I went to Cali and with Lonny's help I went and then gave it my best shot
Winneway and Shaughnessy I wont forget you
Till you see the pain up close you have no clue how it affects you
My brother Jay, my sister Tally, Elias and Big Rizzle
my family forever, so I share this fake trophy with you

To my Mom and Dad who couldn't agree on colors of the sky
But you had faith in me that's one thing you saw eye to eye
Eye to Eye, that reminds me of Second Thought and June Sixth
And Seven Positivity the first time I ever spit
To my bandmates who helped me broaden my musical mind
I think about the stages shared truly the best of times
Like Spock and Kirk, I'm thinking about the day that I was birthed
So long ago how will I spend the time I remain on Earth
I want to spend it with you, Ingrid and our future son, till I'm done
I'd never be the man I am today without your love
I know this seems like this song is about my demise
But the best is yet to come this is just temporary bye
To all the people who approached me to tell me they were touched by my
songs
I say Stay Stalwart one last time and then I'm gone
Feels like the final seconds on the bridge of the Enterprise
May the wind be at your backs, I'll see you on whatever side
