Asa – Jailer lyrics

Asa – Jailer lyrics

[Intro]
Mmm...
No, no, no, no...
Oh yeah

[Verse 1]
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!

[Pre-Chorus]
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?

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
You suppress all my strategies
You oppress every part of me
What you don’t know
You’re a victim too, Mr. Jailer, oh!

[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t care about my point of view
If I die another will work for you
So you threat me like a modern slave, Mr. Jailer

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
[x2]

[Outro]
I hear my baby say
I want be president
I want your money
From my government
What he don’t know
What he would know
What he can know
Jailer, jailer
Be good, be good, be good...

What I make out of the lyric is that we're in some part of our lives found playing the dual role of either being a jailer or the jailed. Its either we're the boss or the bossed. Asa warns against being hypocritical, arrogant, selfish c** seeing ourselves as the demigod when we eventually found ourselves in the corridor of authority cus life is like a parade ground where at the shout of about turn the last takes the lead. "life is not about your policy all the time"

Here's what I get from the song: in life we sometimes find ourselves very busy in finding and pointing out the mistakes and faults in others. We are just too busy doing that we forget the fact that we have faults too and that we ourselves aren't perfect. Sooo like I have faults you have faults, everyone makes mistakes and no one is perfect.

There are many things I don't uanerstndd about forgiveness, so if you uanerstndd forgiveness in a situation like this, I commend you. However, I do uanerstndd, very well, learning hard lessons and using them to move on to a better life. I do not mean to imply there is anything you could have done to avoid this nightmare, but I'm certain you will find a valuable personal lesson in this somehow. I'm confident you will emerge an even stronger woman, and the beginning of that is honestly putting this monster behind you. Focusing on healing for yourself and your children which just won't happen if he continues to infiltrate your life. We can't change or control others, we can only manage ourselves. When it comes down to that I strongly believe, the best revenge is living well! Get up, get out and do it! I'm cheering for you.

Oh yeah don't get me wrong. I am not under the illusion that he dreesves my forgiveness. He dreesves to have his balls ripped through his nose and worse. However, I have to forgive so I don't keep stewing in my anger. I have to just choose to not let it consume me anymore. Zac brown puts it well, save your strength for things that you can change, forgive the ones you can't. You gotta let it go.

This song is about the Nigerian police and the prison service. It reminds them that they are also victims of a failing state as much as the inmates in their cells. The outro hints at corruption with the lines "I want to be president. I wan chop money for my government" which literally means 'I want to be president so that I can embezzle government funds'.
