Babu’yuna gi yaka gi gori

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

You wanna be as good as me?
Boy you better practise
Step back feel the power of my blackness

CHORUS
Can’t stop me now, you can’t bring me down
I'm on cloud 9, and I'm not coming down

Can’t stop me now, you can’t bring me down
I'm on cloud 9, and I'm not coming down

VERSE TWO
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
haliy 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

You wanna be as good as me?
Boy you better practise
Step back feel the power of my blackness

CHORUS
Can’t stop me now, you can’t bring me down
I'm on cloud 9, and I'm not coming down

Can’t stop me now, you can’t bring me down
I'm on cloud 9, and I'm not coming down
