Baker Boy is the freshest new Yolngu hiphop talent from Northern Territory Australia who is proudly rapping in Yolngu Matha language representing his Arnhem Land families. This song is an example of the real Aussie Hip-hop!
Baker Boy had a huge hit last year with his dance track 'Yolngu Style' and has bounced back with his first rap track. Teaming up with gun up 'n' coming producer Tobiahs Fakhri and getting killer chorus featuring 14 year old Kian Brownfield on the hook. This track is so infectious and good luck with trying not to play it on repeat.
'Baker Boy' the Fresh Prince of Arnhem Land!!!
Cloud 9 Lyrics
(Lyrical translation the Yolngu Matha to English !)
Intro Adlibs
Baker boy in the town
bounce with it
I'm on cloud 9
bounce with it
Verse 1
Don't be shame
you have a good brain good heart
they see you really humble don't ever change or you might crumble look after yourself just think about god
Don't turn ever turn back on god
way gela (skinned name) it's your turn to look after the sisters because I stay really far in the cold
keep your head strong
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
I am baker boy young man not a boy
you can't control me like a toy
im a 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
coz at the end of the day youll 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
Cant stop me now, you cant bring me down
I'm on cloud 9, and I'm not coming down x2
Verse 2
You look each other with jealousy
like you are crazy
when ever the truth comes out
your heart is ripping out
You gotta stay strong no dout,
the bigger the crowd the bigger we are
coz the internet changes the line,
coz they they dont want us too divide
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 trying to change the track because
I see white people always see black people differently
police man does the same job
gotta understand this is our land
making our body 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
Cant stop me now, you cant bring me down
I'm on cloud 9, and I'm not coming down x4

UPK, Uwankara Palyanku Kanyitjaku (everybody creating and holding the future) is a strategy to achieve well-being through positive, shared vision of the future and thoughtful action by everybody to achieve this vision. UPK finds expression in many different forms from making of policy to community development, including housing, disease prevention, dog health, water management, land care, community awareness, education and music.
The first UPK album was recorded at Mutitjulu in 1989 establishing a benchmark in popularity and quality. It was not until 2002 that UPK2 was recorded at Tilun Tilun to be followed by UPK#3 at Black Hill – Kunma Piti and UPK#4 at Ulkiya. The quality of these productions is outstanding; UPK music remains the most popular music on the lands today.
