// Lyrics //
Lights out
Under a veil of darkness
Haze of alcohol
Feel your eyes
Following me
My senses stir

I’m the prey
You’re the hunter
Anonymous
Not responsible

No doesn’t mean convince me
I said no, doesn’t mean convince me
No doesn’t mean convince me
I said no, doesn’t mean convince me

I’m done
With feeling like a piece of meat
I’m human too
It’s time
This normalised behaviour
Is put to sleep

I’m a person
You’re a predator
Identified
Held responsible

No doesn’t mean convince me
I said no, doesn’t mean convince me
No doesn’t mean convince me
I said no, doesn’t mean convince me

Sexualised then demonised when we don't reciprocate
Sexualised then demonised when we don't
(I know my mind)
Sexualised then demonised when we don't reciprocate
(I know my mind and I won’t play)
Sexualised then demonised when we don't

I know my mind
I know my mind and I won’t play
I know my mind
I know my mind and I won’t play

How many times do I have to tell you to leave me alone?
Didn’t you hear me the first time?
I said no

No (Doesn't Mean Convince Me)

New DJANDJAY out now 😤 https://bakerboy.lnk.to/DJANDJAY

With the release of Baker Boy’s new album 'DJANDJAY' (pron. Jan-jay) out now, the multi-award winning Yolŋu superstar, also unveils brand-new single ’RUNNING LOW’ featuring US Rapper Pardyalone. A track that floats on an infectious, melodic hook but carries a deeper weight underneath of burnout, grief, and distance from home. “I was talking about being on the road, the pressure to create - but also the sacrifice of living away from community, of missing funerals and carrying that weight,” Baker Boy says. “It was a favourite from the demo, originally, I sang the hook, but bringing in Pardyalone gave it this crazy energy. His voice just hits.”

Sonically, Baker Boy boldly leans into punk for the first time, while still rapping in his first language Yolŋu Matha. Lyrically, Baker Boy channels his anger and frustration into vivid declarations of pride through powerful bars that mirror the colours and symbolism of the Aboriginal flag; “My pigment is my pride...red dirt, gold chains, blak knight, thick skin”.
 
Following the acclaim of his 5 x ARIA Award-winning debut album ‘Gela’, including Album Of The Year, ‘DJANDJAY’ is Baker Boy’s most emotionally layered and creatively evolved work yet. Named in honour of his late grandmother, ‘DJANDJAY’ also pays homage to the Yolŋu spiritual figure of the same name: a guiding octopus spirit that leads souls forward.

The 14-track ‘DJANDJAY’ album will include previously released singles ’THICK SKIN’, ‘PEACEKEEPER’, ‘FREAK OUT feat. Briggs and Haiku Hands’, ‘LIGHTNING’ feat. REDD. and will also include features from friends and collaborators Pardyalone (US), and Jean Deaux (US).
