Baker Boy 'Cloud 9'
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!!!
'Baker Boy' 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 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)
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 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, 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

The Australian Ugliness pays homage to modernist architect Robin Boyd (1919–1971) and his book of the same name, while exploring the ethics and aesthetics of our nation today. The three-channel video installation by Australian artist Eugenia Lim brings forward a female, performative and Asian-Australian perspective to the screens and spaces of Australia. With visual poetry, pathos and wit, this is Australia rendered both familiar and strange, a country at once confident and ever-anxious.
Led by the gold-suited figure of The Ambassador (performed by Lim), the artist-filmmaker shape-shifts as student, tourist, client, property investor and resident across more than 30 sites and spaces across Australia, interrogating the diversity, liveability and the sustainability of “the Australian Dream”.’
