Wordpress loop grouping

I want to loop <li> tag in <ul> tag with continuous numbering but it repeats numbering in each <ul> tag.
here's my code:

<li>

<ul>

<ul>

$catquery = new WP_Query( 'cat=6&posts_per_page=2' );
if ( $catquery->have_posts() )
if ( is_home() && is_front_page() )
while ( $catquery->have_posts() )
$catquery->the_post();
get_template_part( 'template-parts/single-song', get_post_type() );




$catquery = new WP_Query( 'cat=6&posts_per_page=2' );
if ( $catquery->have_posts() )
if ( is_home() && is_front_page() )
while ( $catquery->have_posts() )
$catquery->the_post();
get_template_part( 'template-parts/single-song', get_post_type() );



wp_reset_postdata();


the output is:

<ul>
<li>Post 1</li>
<li>Post 2</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Post 1</li>
<li>Post 2</li>
</ul>


in short my expected output should be like this:

<ul>
<li>Post 1</li>
<li>Post 2</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Post 3</li>
<li>Post 4</li>
</ul>


the template-parts/single-song file contains:

<li></li>


template-parts/single-song

You should use query pagination or offset. Also, use the array syntax for parameters:

With pagination:

$catquery = new WP_Query(
array(
'cat' => 6,
'posts_per_page' => 2,
'paged' => 2
)
);


With offset:

$catquery = new WP_Query(
array(
'cat' => 6,
'posts_per_page' => 2,
'offset' => 2
)
);
