Yasiin Bey - A Message from Yasiin Bey (via Kanye West) lyrics
[Yasiin Bey - A Message from Yasiin Bey via Kanye West lyrics]
Peace, this is Yasiin
No more parties in SA
Please, tell 'em no more parties in SA
Ain't home arrest, I don't need to stay
I'll leave and I'll stay away
I committed no crime any place
Why these police up in my face?
Why they raiding my place?
Why I don't feel safe?
This is not an expression of fear
This is just to make things clear
My intentions are pure in coming here
And that's for everything I love or hold dear
Umi's in the building
So is my wife and my children
I committed no crime
Why is the state wasting my time?
They must be out of their minds
I forgive 'em, that's the spirit of divine
I just wanna go where I'm wanted
Where I'm loved, stop frontin'
Where I live is my choice
You cannot mute my voice
Thank you, Kanye West, for
Being a real friend, a real friend
A real friend
No more parties in SA
Please, no more parties in SA
I heard your choice the first time
I'll go away and when I leave
That's exactly where I'll stay
This is not an expression of fear
This is just to make things clear
A country called Earth, everywhere
A country called Earth, everywhere
No more parties in SA
Please, no more parties in SA
That's just a freestyle I had to let
That out peace to all, fear none
This is Yasiin Bey at
This present time, I am
Currently in Cape Town, south
Africa, and I'm being prevented
From leaving, unjustly, unlawfully
And without any logical reason
They're saying that they want to
Deport my family uh, they're
Making false claims against me, some
Of these government officials, even
In the press are making
False claims against me, saying that
My travel document that I was
Traveling with is fictitious
Which it is not anyone can
Do the research about
The world passport it's not a
Fictitious document it is not
Meant to deceive or derive
Unlawful benefit from any
Nation's state, at all in fact
The world passport has
Been accepted here on numerous
Occasions in South Africa
In ports Johannesburg and Cape Town
As early as 1996 and as late as 2015 you can
See the stamps they're there at
The World Service Authority for anyone
To investigate to quote Lil
Durk, I am not a liar i've
Made no false claims i
Have not misrepresented myself i'm under
Unnecessary state supervision and scrutiny
And I have reason to believe or
Suspect that there are
Political motivations behind
The way I'm being treated
Because this is following
No reasonable train of logic, as also, umit's
Curious i haven't broken any law
And I'm being treated like a
Criminal i know I'm
Not unique in that regard
And I am grateful that I'm here with
My family i haven't been physically harmed
Or anything like that however
I have been detained people
In this state have taken
Punitive action against me
Unnecessarily there's no reason I have
To spend any time in
The cell there's no reason I
Had to have police
Come to my house, damn near six days later
For something that happened at the airport
Where nobody
Arrested me, and none of that ever happened
At
All this is not an administration of justice
And all I seek is to leave the
State i'm not looking to state any
Future claims against them for damages and
None of that people keep whatever
Little state jobs that they worried
About or concerned about losing, because
I'm not- I just wanna go home
And I don't live in
America, and I have the right
To domicile wherever I please
Without fear or without interference
The state of South Africa has interfered
With my ability to move
Or to even fulfill my professional
Obligations unnecessarily and that's fine
We don't have to be enemies
And we don't have to
Be friends either my family and
I are prepared, immediately
To make whatever move that we
Need to make outside of this state
Never to return to this state
Again we don't have
To be here we're not pining to be
Here, and we’re complying in every
Possible way, reasonably just today, state
Officials visited my domicile
Asking questions about me and my family
And they had no right to do so i have legal
Representation here who they could
Easily contact they're contravening
And breaking all types of international law
And it's untenable for me to
Just sit by and just
Let this go on and I know
It's been a lot of chatter
About what's going on, you know, people
Are running to the press, because that's
Just…you know, a money making machine so
It’s another exploitative measure
To turn this into some soap
Opera, some tele novella
And I have no interest in it furthermore
Related but not directly related to this:
I'm retiring from the music
Recording industry as it
Is currently assembled
Today, and also from Hollywood
Effective immediately i am releasing my final
Album this year um…and that's that
Peace to all, fear of none thank everyone
For their time much success to you
Even if you wish me the
Opposite, as Nas said and I'm on the side of
The right, so people could
Wish however they want
But I ain't nobody's…I ain't no
Threat or a hazard to
Nobody i really try to mind my business what
People think about me is none of my business
And I'm not here to change
People's opinions about me you
Don't have to like me you don't have to like
Everything that I say the fact is
Is that I have hurt no one i
Have injured no parties, and all I
Require, as is my lawful right
Is innocent passage to my
Domicile that is all
In summary, I will say this
I will close with a simple prayer: To the
One who has created the all, you know
Me better than I know myself
And I know myself better than
People know me so
Forgive me for whatever they know or
Do not know make me better
Than whatever is said and do not make me
Responsible for whatever is
Said ameen, ameen, allahumma ameen
And I'll close for you, Ye, with the
With the
Verse that I kicked for you on December 31st
When you was in Atlantic City
And you announced that you and Kim
Were having Nori and, and, shout
Out to Madlib, and Otis, and…and…and
Michael and his entire family
And to Mama Jackson and
To the whole Jackson clan in LA
I wish you and your family the
Best, your mother, you know, reach out
To me, Egon, you know, y'all
Know how to reach shout out to Corey Smyth
Shout out to my brother
Talib Kweli, salaam to my brother Kamaal
Fareed, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, Islam
All of the Zulu Nation the
Zulu Nation real here there's
Real Zulus my brother, Siyabonga
The Madlalas all of the people here who
Have supported me: this is no reflection
On you i love the people of
This country i love this continent
I do not have to sit idly by
And just be persecuted unfairly by
A state they waste enough of my
Time and i'm through with
You Felicia we're through i
Don't want nothing from you you can keep the
Records, the sweatshirts
Everything it's no problem but I'll end
With this verse that I wanna
Put on "No More Parties in LA, "
If you would kindly allow me, my
Dear brother Kanye and shout out to
K lamar, too I see you, my dude
Lonely America, crazy America
Loud ass, country ass, cocaine America
Lethal America, carcinogen, asthma
Carbonated smoke throughout your blood plasma
Lights and camera, action, surveillance
Helicopters, teleprompters
Flossy newscasters, rich, fool, bastards
War, migrant workers, cold murder, traffic
Welcome to Los stop right there
Biggie got shot right here angeles
Hollywood, hoes, handguns
Peace to all, fear none this is Bey love one
