Yonder Lyrics

[Intro: Nas]
Yeah

[Verse 1: Nas, Jennifer Hudson]
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 visits 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 spirits
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

[Chorus: Jennifer Hudson, Nas]
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

[Verse 2: Nas, Jennifer Hudson]
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

[Chorus: Jennifer Hudson, Nas]
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)

[Bridge: Jennifer Hudson, Nas]
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

[Chorus: Jennifer Hudson, Nas]
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

[Outro: Jennifer Hudson]
Ahh-ahh-ahh
Uh-huh
