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
