Hello guys! I'm utymarvel and it's and welcome to another beautiful week to sing, interact and connect with beautiful singers around the world.

Congratulations to our community's spotlight artist for the week @indonesiabersatu, it is a beautiful topic in which musicians will be able to fight for their freedom through music.
Today I made a cover of "Jailer" by Asa, one of my favourite female artists. In the song she tried exercising her rights against brutality from the security officers.
Over the years there has been a lot of brutality from the security agencies, they've worked hand in hand with corrupt leaders to oppress the poor masses. A lot of peope have lost thier lives and properties in the process

So this song expresses a cry for freedom and fight against opoppression

Lyrics

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)
