Lollise + Morgan - "It Goes On"

Queens-based duo, Lollise & Morgan create Afro-digital dance grooves with a powerful message.

When we started this tune it was the roughest week of the pandemic in NYC, ambulances going by day and night
the dead getting closer and closer to home
We set up a camera and started shooting as our lives went by. By the time we finished the video the meaning of the song had grown and changed.
Suddenly after months of isolation, we took to the streets and joined the crowds every day screaming and banging bells for justice for Black lives looted by this system of oppression,
for an end to racism and white supremacy
for an end to police
prisons
economic oppression
Still
Our daily lives go on despite those who have died from illness, from police violence, from racism, from official negligence
I'll see you Sunday becomes
I'll see you someday
It goes on for the living
for the dead
This isn't about inter-racial love or racial unity
This is about time
This is about inertia
This is about action
This is about life and death
ending racism and undoing white supremacy
This is about all the lives unnecessarily lost to illness, particularly COVID19
The disproportionate number of black and brown people who died from this virus due to systemic racism
This is about all our lives and what we're going to do with the time we have left on this earth
