Ella Baker Shaker is an original Bounce track dedicated to joy, freedom and ancestral lineage. We tell the story of Ella Baker as her legacy continues to encourage us to dream up new worlds. Ella Baker said “We who believe in freedom cannot rest until it comes.” We hope this song encourages a generation of youth to become “Ella Baker Shakers” who shake up systemic barriers and fight for justice and freedom.
Lyrics:
This is the story of Ella Baker,
This is the story of Ella Baker,
This is the story of Ella Baker,
This is the story of Ella Baker,
Ella Baker had to shake it up,
Ella Baker had to wake it up
Cuz if you noticed life is tough enough,
So Ella taught us how to break it up
Chorus
Ella baker shaker, Ella baker shaker, shaker, shaker,
Ella Baker Shaker, Ella baker shaker, shaker, shaker,
Ella Baker Shaker, Ella baker shaker, shaker, shaker,
Shaker, shaker, shaker,
Ella baker shake, shake it down, shake it down nah
Ella baker shake, shake it round, shake it down nah
Ella baker shake, shake it down, shake it down nah
Ella baker shake, shake it round, shake it down nah
Rap:
Ella Baker had to shake it up,
teach em up,
tough enough,
twerk it up
Breaking it,
shaking it,
overtaking it,
baking it,
never ever ever ever letting people mistaken it
Cuz we popping it, stop’n it,
wop woppin it, droppin it,
its the center of my joy,
So we moppin it, moppin it..
Cuz we popping it, stop’n it,
wop woppin it, droppin it,
its the center of my joy,
So we moppin it, moppin it..
Ohhhh Ella, Ohhhh Ella!!!!
Ella Baker had to shake it up,
Ella Baker had to wake it up
Cuz if you noticed life is tough enough,
So Ella taught us to break it up
