about

KEEP GOING is the sixth single from OK Naledi. It's a song about the inequitable starting point. that many marginalized groups experience in this world. The starting line is set at different points depending on ones systemic stigmatizations. As a Queer, Black, Gender fluid person I’ve often felt like people somehow had the answers to a test that I didn’t know existed.

It feels deflating at time but at the end of the day I want to be part of the efforts to pave the way for upcoming Queer, Black folks – I want to keep going on because I know it’s important and still very necessary.

lyrics

Could we get a little leg up
Could we get a little start it from the top
Are they giving out the answers
Or maybe we just missed a crucial part

Is it going to be an open book
Can I call a friend to help me out
Is it going to be an A B C
Or leave me with a head that's full of doubt

And they're never going to break us down
No they're never going to break us down, no
And they're never going to take us out
No they're never going to take us out, hey

I don't really wanna wake up
I don't have a lot of space for this right now
Even though I'm feeling broken down
There isn't any room to scream and shout

I don't want another broken fist
I'm tired of talking at the wall
Are you going to be a helping hand
Or are you gonna make me take another fall

And they're never going to break us down
No they're never going to break us down, no
And they're never going to take us out
No they're never going to take us out, hey

Hey, no, no

I don't even know I don't even care
I don't even thinking about the things that you're gonna say
I've been on my own I've been all alone
All I know for sure
Is the only thing to do is
Keep going on and on
Keep going on

I don't even know I don't even care
I don't even thinking about the things that you're gonna say
I've been on my own I've been all alone
All I know for sure
Is the only thing to do is
Keep going on and on
Keep going on

I don't even know I don't even care
I don't even thinking about the things that you're gonna say
I've been on my own I've been all alone
All I know for sure
Is the only thing to do is
Keep going on and on
Keep going on

I don't even know I don't even care
I don't even thinking about the things that you're gonna say
I've been on my own I've been all alone
All I know for sure
Is the only thing to do is
Keep going on and on
Keep going on
