MY JAILER GUITAR COVER
The inspiration of this song came from being harassed by some police officers. So me and my friend we went out to get some groceries and then along the way mum called that we should pick up a parcel for her. Still on our way we had a little accident with a keke guy ( tricycle), i think the driver was not feeling fine and made a big mess of himself cos he was strong headed lol..... so we left him and settled the issue ourselves to avoid anything going beyond the way it was already besides mum was already calling because the rider was waiting for us to pick up her parcel but we couldn't tell her what was going on cos she will be worried and angry of cos.
We left the location and went to the mechanic to clean up because mum will be so mad at us, after cleaning up the car which costed us N15,000 we now went to pick up her parcel and then when to the mall to pick up some groceries. On our way coming back the police held us and started harassing us. At first we never knew what was happening but they started taking advantage of us and boom we were on our way to the station and they kept us, took our phones and queried us. we kept begging and asking to have a call so we could reach out to our families but no they refused i was slapped and beaten for no reason, with tears in my eyes i was just begging because i didn't know or have an idea of what was going, i didn't do anything wrong they just saw two young men with a clean car.
Finally a young man walked in and called the both of us out seeing how pained we were, he wasn't cool with what his other mates had done to us.
So he brought us out, gave me my phone to call and i called an army friend of mine and he came picked us up and took us to the house. meanwhile all along my mum was so worried and not happy at all. When we came home she just looked at us but we had to explain all that happened. I went to the kitchen to cook something to eat for myself and my friend then i started singing and playing around in the kitchen. That was when this drop "ASA - JAILER" A NIgerian artist, so i picked up the guitar and did this cover and i loved it. The guy in the video is my friend Tonna. This is the lyrics of the song gotten from this website
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!
[Verse 2]
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 3]
You suppress all my strategies
You oppress every part of me
What you don’t know
You’re a victim too, Mr. Jailer, oh!
[Verse 4]
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
[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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
[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...

Hello friend, welcome to the Hive Open Mic, it is a pleasure to receive you in your first presentation, what an unpleasant situation you are commenting on, abuse of power and police brutality are very common scenarios in many parts of the world. I am very sorry that you and your friend have lived this experience, the important thing is that you are well!!
Apart from this fact, I must tell you that we are left wanting to hear more hehe, you were doing amazing and when your friend accompanied you with the voices that was very cool. This song is very good, ASA is a tremendous artist and she has a great musical repertoire, I know her from several artists from your country here on the platform.
As this is your first participation, I will comment on some key elements for your future participation in the community, in this way your participation will be valid:
Weekly in the community a Spotlight Artist is chosen, this user must choose a theme by which we are all going to be inspired to bring our presentations. Already this week that begins is the 131st of the event and the theme is "Homeland Pride" therefore all the artists must choose a song related to it and comment on the reason for their choice.
Entries are accepted from Monday to Saturday, the title of the video should say (let's use this presentation as an example): Hive Open Mic week___ (you mention the current week) / Jayler (cover) by @willz94 . If you bring your own song, in the parentheses you must place (original).
When you start the video you must say: Hive Open Mic week ___ (current week), you mention your username and then you start to interpret your song, if before that, you want to say some words you can do it and then you play the song you chose. With these requirements, your entries will be valid first, since in this way we confirm that your presentation is exclusive to the community. We only allow one entry per week. For now, you'll have to wait until next week to re-introduce yourself.
