Hi everyone, I’m @theofficalmide and this is my entry for the AFRI-TUNES WEEK 104. This is also my first post in the community and I’m thrill to be here

I am so excited to be performing Jailer by ASA. This song has a strong emotional connection to me as it was one of my favorite songs while growing up

Jailer by Asa is a soulful and introspective song that delves into themes of personal freedom, captivity, and self-discovery. The song's metaphorical portrayal of a jailer as an internal force, restraining the protagonist's desires and aspirations, resonates with anyone who has felt trapped by their own thoughts or circumstances. As the song progresses, there is a sense of liberation and empowerment as the protagonist confronts their jailer and asserts their independence.
Overall, Jailer is a powerful anthem of resilience and liberation which I feel is what my Country, Nigeria needs at the moment

SONG LYRICS

Mmm
No, no, no, no
Oh yeah

I'm in chains, you're in chains too
I wear uniforms and you wear uniforms too
I'm a prisoner
You're a prisoner too, Mr. Jailer
Oh

I have fears, you have fears too
I will die, but yourself will die too
Life is beautiful
Don't you think so too, Mr. Jailer?

I'm talking to you jailer!
Stop calling me a prisoner
Let he who is without sin be the first to cast the stone
Mr. Jailer
Mr. Jailer man

You suppress all my strategies
You oppress whoa whoa every part of me
What you don't know
You're a victim too, Mr. Jailer
Oh!

You don't care about my point of view
If I die another will work for you
So you treat me like a modern slave, Mr. Jailer

I'm talking to you jailer!
Stop calling me a prisoner
Let he who is without sin be the first to cast the stone
Mr. Jailer
Mr. Jailer man

You see
If you walking in a market place
Don't throw stones
Even if you do, you just might hit one of your own
Life is not about your policies
All the time
So you better rearrange your philosophies
And be good to your fellow man, Jailer!

Stop calling me a prisoner
Let he who is without sin be the first to cast the stone
Mr. Jailer

Oh, I'm talking to you jailer!
Stop calling me a prisoner
Let he who is without sin be the first to cast the stone
Mr. Jailer
Mr. Jailer

I hear my baby say
I wanna be president
I want your money
From my government
What he don't know, what he would know, what he can know
(Jailer) Jailer (Jailer) Jailer
Oh be good whoa, be good whoa, be good woah
Somebody be good whoa, be good whoa, be good
Oh oh be good whoa, be good whoa, be good whoa (Jailer, Jailer)
