On September 17, 2009, Childish Gambino released the independent album Poindexter. A pair of mixtapes, titled I Am Just a Rapper and I Am Just A Rapper 2 were released, in close succession in 2010.

Gibran Minutti Zepeda
Grew up at the end of a long dirt road
no street lights just a couple trees
You could probably see the wallabies bounding around in their brown fur coats
most days walked the whole way home
With a jig in my step, nothing but the air in my lungs
Feeling my breath, singing my songs that I wrote in my head
Every now and then when i look up at the sky i could see a kookaburra fly
I begin to daydream, think about my wingspan, just sun around a globes
Everywhere I go its summertime
I wonder why people get stuck on the same place
Only thinking bout what they say
Oh fuck it, take a bite of humble pie
Don't you worry bout what they think
Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane
Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane
Hey hey, hey hey
Hey hey
You grew up in the land of the red dirt
Where the yellow sand meets the fresh surf
Where the black history respect earth but the politicians only think about its net worth
From east Sydney to West Perth
Top end down to Cape Bay
You put the leg work in but you get burnt out thats why you sing piss every pay day
Hey, have you ever gone away
Do you ever think about a holiday
Are in the business of making money
If you haven’t got a dollar then I guess you've gotta wait
Wait, maybe we can win the lottery?
How bout a beach of Lana Del Ray
Maybe you can follow my lead, gonna fly like a kite in a breeze and yep
Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane
Hey hey
Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane
Hey hey
Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane
Every where I go, hey hey
Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane
Every where I go, hey hey
I've got a lover, down by the river
Oh
She said, "Hey mister, it's nice nice to meet you"
Oh
Can I hold you, and hold you tighter
I took a seat up and she said "pleased to meet ya and you can be my mister"
So I kissed her
Can I take ya, take ya higher
Not used to the name of the time we didn't even need a reason to smile
Hey Hey
Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane
Hey hey
Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane
Hey hey
Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane
Every where I go, hey hey
Gonna take you for a ride on a big jet plane
Every where I go, hey hey

[Verse 1: Tuka]
I grew up at the end of a long dirt road
No street lights, just a couple trees
You could probably see the wallabies
Boundin' around in their brown fur coats
Most days I'd walk the whole way home
With a jig in my step, nothing but the air in my lungs
Feeling my breath, singing my songs that I wrote in my head
Every now and then when I look up at the sky
I can see a kookaburra fly, I begin to daydream
Think about my wingspan, chase the sun around the globe
So everywhere I go it’s summertime
I wonder why people get stuck in the same place?
Probably thinking ‘bout what they say
Ah, fuck it, take a bite of humble pie
Don’t you worry 'bout what they think, hey

That’s why you sink piss every payday

[Thelma Plum & Tuka]
I met a lover, down by the river
Ohhh, she said:
"Hey mister, it’s nice to meet you"
Ohhh
Can I hold ya, and hold you tighter?
I took a seat up, she said, "Pleased to meet ya
You can be my mister," so I kissed her
And can I take ya, and take you higher?
Not used to the needle of time
We didn’t even need a reason to smile
Hey, hey

Victor Silva
The best version ever of 'Big Jet Plane'!
No doubt!
Also, it's the best song I've heard in this quarantine.
Theses guys had such creativity to changed all music atmosphere.
Tuka brought more context and feeling into it.
Love this version.
Like a version, for real ! haha xD.
As we say in Brazil: "não sai da cabeça"
(Can't take out off my head xD)
Thanks to Tuka and Triple J for share this!
BootsandUtes
Many years later, I still come back to this cover. It's so beautiful. That Wii theramin-like instrument and backing vocals add so much texture to the song.
Jennifer H
This gives me goosebumps every time I listen!! Their voices compliment so well, the smooth rapping, the emotional female vocal, the instrumentals, so divine! AWESOME LAV!!!
J
I can't stop watching this. It's been over a year since I found it and it's still just as amazing. It's hard to believe this is live and not a studio recording.
ASMR Solitude
Im obsessed with her vibratto giving me chills everytime that mystical waVver comes out 😮😮
Amy Louise
Tuka along with Thundamentals have done some of the best Like A Versions ever recorded
CJ
+Amy Louise +1, "Brother" has been at the top of my LAV playlist for the longest time, and now this piece of brilliance added to it. :)
Amy Louise
Yeah, I'm not AS a fan of his originals but his covers are pure gold
Royce Smith
Amy Louise hell yeah
Alka Ford
So true
GeminiEye1
This is incredible. Tuka did this song justice and honestly I would not mind getting a mastered version of this.
