Salaam Remi - Yonder lyrics

Yeah

Growing up in New York
I never went to church before
But down south with grandmoms, I did for sure
Walking through the door, church fans
Wooden floors
Spirit took over the little boy
I was holy ghosting, speaking tongues
Holy rolling
Nah, not me, that was the old ones
Carolina visit's in the summer
To get away from the killings
And the concrete jungle (yeah)
Trailways bus, Port Authority depart
And every time we left
They always broke in our apartment
Couldn't understand moms leaving us
In the twigs
City kids, as a man now, I see what it did
Simplified life, pure pеace and calm spirit's
Duality to help the ancеstors stay strong
(Stay strong) we got some angels getting
Us through the storm
Another funeral, another man gone (Man)
Ghetto king, ghetto king
When you transition
I wish you a pair of wings
Serious, the Black experience is quite deadly
Fight daily, life expectancy might vary
It evokes the Huey in me you woke
Now you be scary I spoke at schools already
Nothing prepared me
To separate the truth from conspiracy (Oh)
Loved ones fear for my life
But ain’t no fear in me

I'm going up a yonder (Going up yonder, yeah)
I'm going up yonder (Going up yonder)
I’m going up yonder
To be with my love (The most high)
I'm going up a yonder (Going up yonder, yeah)
I'm going up yonder (Going up yonder)
I'm going up, yonder to be with my love

Can't even hide from the devil
In a place of worship
Can't find peace where they going to find God
Look at Charleston, look at the arson
They tried to shock him back to life
But they lost him he was a wild kid
They caught him on the humble
Coming out a chick crib
Had nowhere to run to
Something bad happen, we pulling together
While we all here
We forgot all we got is each other
This one here's for my man Hassan's moms
This one’s for Salaam’s moms
For Jennifer's and Nas’ moms
She told me a lot of times
One day it's just gon' be you and God
I pray that Philando's daughter
Gets through them all
We demand justice for all (Oh)
Uh, Miss Hudson said it all

I’m going up yonder (yeah, going up yonder)
I'm going up yonder
(Going up yonder, we goin' up, y'all)
I'm going up yonder to be with my love
I'm going up yonder
(yeah, yeah, going up yonder)
I'm going up yonder (Going up yonder)
I'm going up yonder
To be with my love (All praise is due)

If you wanna know (yeah, yeah yeah)
Where I'm going where I'm going soon, uh huh
(Check for the church)
If anybody asks you (Uh huh, yeah)
Where I'm going tell 'em I'm going soon, oh

I'm going up yonder (Going up yonder)
I'm going up yonder
(Going up yonder, yeah, yeah)
Going up yonder (It's that feeling)
To be with my love
I'm going up yonder (Going up yonder)
I'm going up yonder (Going up yonder)
I'm going up yonder to be with my love
Ahh ahh ahh uh huh
