Aṣa – Jailer

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 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

If you’re 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 man

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)
