She Coming reference

[u/BarBey_1981]

Thanks to my toddler, I believe Beyonce is referencing "She'll Be Coming Around the Mountain." So I knew this song was about the rapture. But when I did some research, I learned this popular folk song is a rendition to the negro spiritual, "When the Chariot Comes." It is believed that it was code for the Underground Railroad. And the "she" is a reference to the Chariot. We have seen her driving a bus in the Amen visual during the tour and other vehicles in "I'm that Girl." She sings running through the river in "Riiverdance," which was a common method to escape to freedom during slavery. "She'll be coming around the mountain," originally being a negro spiritual falls in line to reclaiming our history and our culture. The rapture reference also makes sense for the transition to Renaissance and her singing lift off during the tour. Not to mention in the song, "When the Chariot Comes," it ends by she will take you through portals. We also see the imagery of portals in "I'm that Girl" visual.

As a Houstonian I can confirm “she comin” or “he comin” is a very common way for us to talk about ourselves especially in a performance aspect. Like we say it casually if we got that shit on. If we have something to show off. And it’s competitive in nature. Like I’m telling you to tuck your chain
