Prejudice; when I saw this word, I didn’t know what it meant, to be honest and I had to quickly google it, and even after I did, I was stuck wondering what would be the perfect song for this week.
During my search process for the perfect song, I fell sick and it got really hard to breathe; still is and I was about to give up on this week but, I decided to try and push myself and here I am.
So, the theme of this week is prejudice and that word from my understanding means having an opinion of someone whether good or bad that isn’t based on experience.
Getting to understand that, I knew that the right song for this week would be jailer by Asa because this song literally talks about profiling in the justice system and societal oppression.
In Nigeria, a lot of people are judged based on looks, mode of dressing, etc, and sometimes it even gets them arrested which is sad because just because someone feels a certain way about someone doesn’t mean it is true.
Anyways, this is my rendition of this song and I hope you at least enjoy it a bit.
LYRICS: JAILER BY ASA
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)

Prejuicio; cuando vi esta palabra, no sabía lo que significaba, para ser honesta y tuve que buscarla rápidamente en Google, e incluso después de hacerlo, me quedé pensando en cuál sería la canción perfecta para esta semana.
Durante mi proceso de búsqueda de la canción perfecta, me puse enferma y me costó mucho respirar; todavía lo es y estuve a punto de abandonar esta semana pero, decidí intentar esforzarme y aquí estoy.
Así que el tema de esta semana es el prejuicio y esa palabra, desde mi punto de vista, significa tener una opinión de alguien, ya sea buena o mala, que no está basada en la experiencia.
Al entenderlo, supe que la canción adecuada para esta semana sería jailer, de Asa, porque esta canción habla literalmente de la elaboración de perfiles en el sistema judicial y de la opresión social.
En Nigeria, se juzga a mucha gente por su aspecto, su forma de vestir, etc., y a veces incluso se les detiene, lo que es triste porque el hecho de que alguien sienta algo por alguien no significa que sea cierto.
De todos modos, esta es mi interpretación de esta canción y espero que al menos la disfrutéis un poco.
LYRICS: JAILER BY ASA
Mmm
No, no, no, no
Oh yeah
Estoy encadenado, tú también estás encadenado
Llevo uniformes y tú también llevas uniformes
Soy un prisionero
Tú también eres un prisionero, Sr. Carcelero
Oh
Yo tengo miedos, tú también tienes miedos
Yo moriré, pero tú también morirás
La vida es hermosa.
¿No cree usted también, Sr. Carcelero?
¡Te estoy hablando a ti carcelero!
Deja de llamarme carcelero
Que el que esté libre de pecado sea el primero en tirar la piedra
Sr. Carcelero
Sr. Carcelero
Usted suprime todas mis estrategias
Oprimes whoa whoa cada parte de mí
Lo que no sabes
Usted es una víctima también, Sr. Jailer
¡Oh!
No te importa mi punto de vista
Si muero otro trabajará para ti
Así que me tratas como un esclavo moderno, Sr. Carcelero
¡Te estoy hablando a ti carcelero!
Deja de llamarme carcelero
Que el que esté libre de pecado sea el primero en tirar la piedra
Sr. Carcelero
Sr. Carcelero hombre
Ya ves
Si caminas por un mercado
No tires piedras
Incluso si lo haces, podrías golpear a uno de los tuyos
La vida no se trata de tus políticas
Todo el tiempo
Así que será mejor que reordenes tus filosofías
Y sé bueno con tu prójimo, carcelero.
Deja de llamarme prisionero
Que el que esté libre de pecado sea el primero en tirar la piedra
Sr. Carcelero
¡Oh, te estoy hablando a ti carcelero!
Deja de llamarme prisionero
Que el que esté libre de pecado sea el primero en tirar la piedra
Sr. Carcelero
Sr. Carcelero
Oigo a mi bebé decir
Quiero ser presidente
Quiero su dinero
De mi gobierno
Lo que no sabe, lo que sabría, lo que puede saber
(Jailer) Jailer (Jailer) Jailer
Oh be good whoa, be good whoa, be good woah
Alguien sea bueno whoa, sea bueno whoa, sea bueno
Oh oh be good whoa, be good whoa, be good whoa (Jailer, Jailer)
