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

Selling Me Out

'Wish You Well' ft. Bernard Fanning: https://BakerBoy.lnk.to/WishYouWellSC
DEBUT ALBUM ‘Gela’, OUT NOW: https://BakerBoy.lnk.to/GelaSC

The Yolŋu superstar Baker Boy (Danzal Baker) relishes keeping people on their toes. He’s revelling in a nostalgic side with his first single since 2021's acclaimed debut album Gela. The dancer, rapper and singer has reimagined Bernard Fanning's acoustic folk 'Wish You Well' as a feel-good hip-hop anthem alongside the Powderfinger frontman himself.

Five years after he broke out with the empowering 'Cloud 9' and winning the first of successive National Indigenous Music Awards; Baker Boy is a pop culture phenom, amassing over 55m streams globally. In 2021 he received an Order of Australia (OAM) medal. That October, Baker Boy aired Gela – a chronicle of identity and personal growth – led by the ARIA Gold jam 'Cool As Hell'.

A triple j Feature Album, Gela landed at #3 on the ARIA Albums Chart and was included in prestigious 'Best Of The Year' lists (cue: The Guardian Australia, Tone Deaf, NME, Junkee, AU Review, Yamaha, Double J, Beat, Broadsheet) and nominated for the Australian Music Prize. Over summer, the festive 'My Mind', featuring G Flip, became Baker Boy's latest entry in the Hottest 100, while 'Ride', with a soulful Yirrmal, was shortlisted for the APRA Song Of The Year.

Additional accolades included striking covers on NME Australia, The Big Issue, Spectrum (Melb, Syd), features in Rolling Stone Magazine Australia, The Music, Pilerats, radio album features on 3RRR and 4ZZZ and an ANZ Spotify Radar Artist.
