CLOUD 9
BAKER BOY FT. KIAN
Baker boy in the town
Babu’yuna ŋanya gi
bounce with it
I'm on cloud 9
Verse 1
Babu’yuna gi yaka gi gori
Nhuŋu dhuwali latju muḻkurr latju ḏoṯurrk
Bounce with it
Don't be shame
You have a good attitude and a good heart
they see you really humble don't ever change or you might crumble
latjukuŋ gi nhini nhuŋu nhe dharray
live well and look after yourself
Just think about God
Don't turn ever turn back on Garray
Don’t ever turn your back on God
“way Gela’
nhuŋu turn dhu dhärra yapa’manydji
bili ŋarra ga barrku nhina ŋulwitjŋur
muḻkurr nhuŋu ḏälkuŋ ḻiya-yätjŋur”
“hey Gela’
it's your turn to stand with your sisters
coz I’m living in the distant cold,
strong thinking just stay on track”
we gonna fly high like and eagle
don't wanna see no ego
don't think about it let go
just hold on to my hand and let's go
ŋarra dhuwal baker boy
I am baker boy
young man not a boy
you can't control me like a toy
Imma human being just like you and me
we are family stop the jealousy
come with me now, break it down, north side of town,
Stop being the clown, be the person that chases the crown
so at the end of the day you'll be found
so never back down.
Pre chorus
You wanna be as good as me? Boy you better practise
Step back feel the power of my blackness! x2
Chorus (Feat Kian Brownfield)
Can’t stop me now, you can’t bring me down
I'm on cloud 9, and I'm not coming down x2
Verse 2
ḻiya-yätj dhu nhuma li ga nhänhamirr
nhakun nhuma bawa’mirr
You all look down on each other (the wrong way)
like you’re all crazy
whenever the truth comes out
your heart is ripping out
You gotta stay strong no doubt,
the bigger the crowd the bigger we are
coz the internet changes the line,
coz they they don’t want us too divine
from the human race
always on the case, ended up getting chased
now we're standing in chains
Flash back, being black, reality hits back
your system is whack, tryin to find a way to change the track because
ŋarra li ga nhäma balanda
walal li ga yolŋuny mala yätjkurrkum nhäma
biḻitjumangu mala balanya bili djäma
marŋgithi walal dhuwal napurruŋ wäŋa
yätjkurrkum napurruŋ galŋa nhaliy bili meditjin’ ŋäṉitji ga marijuana
napurr li ga bunhamirrnha ŋanydja wanha
I always see how white people
Are looking down on black people
police are stuck in same system / way of working
gotta understand this is our land
making our bodies sick with medicine alcohol and marijuana
we are destroying each other
so there you go
Pre chorus
You wanna be as good as me? Boy you better practise
Step back feel the power of my blackness! x2
Chorus
Can’t stop me now, you can’t bring me down
I'm on cloud 9, and I'm not coming down x4
