VERSE 1 - BAKER BOY
Yeah
You Ready?
I’m the baddest
Vigilante in demand
I gotta convert this
Feelin’ the balance in my hands
So divisive
I’m guilty, then I’m innocent
By day, you want this
At night you think I’m stealing it
Life is a breakpoint
But I’ll never surrender
I crash the party like Ash Barty
At Wimbledon, front and centre
Of course
For sure, I leave it on the floor
All is fair in love and war
What are we really fighting for
If we don’t leave hate at the door
I bring a country together
Still, it tears me apart
No blue and white on my face
But I have Braveheart
I put everything on the line for my family while I’m breathing
You could take my life,
You’ll never take my freedom
CHORUS - JEAN DEAUX
Have you ever heard a War Cry?
Yeah Yeahhh
Have you ever heard a War Cry?
Yeahh Yeahhhh
This is a cry for war
Know what you’re fighting for
Pay my dues
You ready to move, got nothing to lose
This is a cry for war
Leave it all out on the floor
You mustn't know what you came for
I already know what I’m fightin’ for
VERSE 2 - BAKER BOY
Open my eye, it's late
Lately I been out of form
Gotta stay up on my game(Ah)
Gladiators with the horns
I look and I look, but I lost intuition
Inferno inside of me, I’m on a mission
I work up a sweat inside the colosseum
I gotta lotta villains in the coalition (huu)
You hold up the trophy like I was anybody
You dominate all except I’m not anybody
And if it is really war you want everybody
Livin’ without a doubt,
A fight is whatcha getting from me
I’ve been fighting before our struggle was trending
I'm a descendant from my Yolŋu ancestors
I fight for my mob in real life, not a online mention
It's like you're forgetting
My thick skin is black 365 24/7
Let that sink in
Like a spear in your skin
That’s payback
Forgetting your past
Gets you lost in the future with no way back
Yeah, I’m laid back
But I’ve been dying for my joy
Still blak, still deadly
I’m the same baker boy
CHORUS - JEAN DEAUX
Have you ever heard a War Cry?
Yeah Yeahhh
Have you ever heard a War Cry?
Yeahh Yeahhhh
This is a cry for war
Know what you’re fighting for
Pay my dues
You ready to move, got nothing to lose
This is a cry for war
Leave it all out on the floor
You mustn't know what you came for
I already know what I’m fightin’ for
YIRRMAL
Traditional Yolŋu Songline
CHORUS - JEAN DEAUX
Have you ever heard a War Cry?
Yeah Yeahhh
Have you ever heard a War Cry?
Yeahh Yeahhhh
This is a cry for war
Leave it all out on the floor
You mustn't know what you came for
I already know what I’m fightin’ for
