Tryin’ For Us

[Verse 1]
You my heart, you my headache
You my peace, you my stress too
We been prayin’ on that late night
Double line turnin’ blessin’ blue
All these baby clothes in the closet
Tags on, still waitin’ for a body
You hold me, say “it’s God time”
I’m mad like “why God skip our time?”
I see cribs on the ‘Gram, I be scrollin’
Fake smile, but my chest wide open
Mama call askin’ “when I get a grand?”
I laugh it off, hang up, cry in my hands
[Chorus]
I’m still tryin’ for us (for us)
Even when it hurt too much (too much)
I ain’t leavin’, I’m gon’ stay
Even with these empty days
Baby, you my one, that trust
Even when my hope feel crushed
If all we get is me and you
Then me and you still enough
[Verse 2]
Doc talkin’ in them big words
Sayin’ “might be hard,” I just hear “never”
You grab my hand, say “look at me”
Say “if it’s just us, I’m still together”
But I know you want that lil’ face
Same eyes, same laugh, same name
You act cool, but I peep your pain
When you walk past kids, you don’t look the same
I be feelin’ like I failed you
Like my body out here lyin’ on you
Whole bloodline sittin’ on pause
And I’m scared you’ll bounce, find another route
[Chorus]
I’m still tryin’ for us (for us)
Even when it hurt too much (too much)
I ain’t leavin’, I’m gon’ stay
Even with these empty days
Baby, you my one, that trust
Even when my hope feel crushed
If all we get is me and you
Then me and you still enough
[Bridge]
Yeah, I talk tough but I’m tender
You see all the tears I don’t mention
You kiss scars that ain’t on my skin
You hold losses I keep within
If my womb don’t give you that child
Let my love still make you proud
We can paint whole worlds in this house
Two hearts loud, even if it stay just us now
[Chorus]
I’m still tryin’ for us (for us)
Even when it hurt too much (too much)
I ain’t leavin’, I’m gon’ stay
Even with these empty days
Baby, you my one, that trust
Even when my hope feel crushed
If all we get is me and you
Then me and you still enough (still enough)
Yeah, me and you still enough (ooh yeah)

Hook lifts with stacked harmonies and a silky top-line, verses drop into intimate half-sung rap with close-mic breathiness. Sparse guitar accents in the second verse, airy pads in the bridge; final chorus adds ad-lib runs and subtle choir-style backing to push the emotion., r&b, emotional
