We’ve Been Trying Too Long

[Intro: Big Gipp & Solé]
Hey, look here
What's up?
Shawty, I don't think this thing between us is gon' work no more
Ah, you don't think it's gon' work?
Nah
Tryna to say that's it?
Man, it's over shawty, I gotta move on, you know?
Get gone, you know?
You know, I was—think I was feelin' the same way anyway
Yeah
So it's over?
I'm out
Cool

[Verse 1: Big Gipp]
We been down this street, down this block before
'Bout to let it all go and hit the front door
Down and up, up and down told you I was in it big
This the last time that me and you will have this conversation
In a situation goin' back and forth about
Who right, who wrong, the same ol' song
See I'm a fresh hit another girl gon' get
Slow rides through the park, gettin' hugs in the dark
I know you don't trust me, that's why you beeped me thirty times
But I wasn't doin nothin' but in the street gettin' mine
And every time I tried to explain, you wouldn't listen
So I left irritated, confused on what to do

[Pre-Chorus: Big Gipp]
You, used to bring light, now you bring pain
So I gotta let you go and let you do your thang
You used to bring light, but now you bring pain
So I gotta let you go and let you do your thang

[Chorus: Dani, Big Gipp, Big Gipp & Solé, Solé]
We've been tryin' too long (Yeah, uh)
To get it right but it just won't work
We've been tryin' too long (Yeah, yeah)
Uh, to get it right but it just won't work
We've been tryin' too long (Yeah, uh-huh, yeah, uh)
To get it right but it just won't work
We've been tryin' too long (Uh, uh, uh, yeah)
To get it right but it just won't work (Uh, yeah, uh)

[Verse 2: Solé]
Don't mean to press ya but I'm needin' to know
If this the end and if you leave, am I your friend or your foe?
Don't wanna go, you see me turn and look, I walk away slow
Motion be the way, make sure you catch the kisses I blow
I see you lookin' like you wanna take me back in your arms
Like when you used to hold me tight and you protect me from harm
But now we can't resolve the problems that we share, it's a mess
I thought we'd work it out, but now it seems I have to confess
That this the end, would you still knowin' that I wish it's the start
You slowly breakin my heart, I gave you everything, you tore it apart
Can't go in circles anymore 'cause we been tryin' too long
Sometimes you just can't work it out, that's why I'm cryin' this song

[Pre-Chorus: Solé]
You, used to bring light, but now you bring pain
So I'ma have to let you go and let you do your thang
You used to bring light, but now you bring pain
So now I gotta let your go and let you do your thang

[Chorus: Dani, Big Gipp, Big Gipp & Solé, Solé]
We've been tryin' too long (Yeah, uh)
To get it right but it just won't work
We've been tryin' too long (Yeah, yeah)
Uh, to get it right but it just won't work
We've been tryin' too long (Yeah, uh-huh, yeah, uh)
To get it right but it just won't work
We've been tryin' too long (Uh, uh, uh, yeah)
To get it right but it just won't work (Uh)

[Verse 3: Big Gipp]
Me and you, used to be cute, but now we paint a different picture
Love'll get ya, and leave ya deaf, dumb, and blind
Every time, we had some good days, remember those
Momma told me, "That's the way love goes"
So I'ma leave it at that, get my hat, get my strap
Get my bags, be gone in the wind, baby girl

[Verse 4: Solé]
But now I hear you so I guess it's nothin' left to be said
It's time that I fled, it's feelin' like a blow to the head
I thought that soon I'd see the day that you and I would be wed
But now the end has come, the love is gone, I'm cryin' instead
And you, used to bring light, but now you bring pain
So I'ma have to let you go and let you do your thang

[Pre-Chorus: Big Gipp]
Nah, you used to bring light, but now you bring pain
So I gotta let you go and let you do your thang
You used to bring light, but now you bring pain
So I gotta let you go and let your do your thang

[Chorus: Dani, Big Gipp, Big Gipp & Solé, Solé]
We've been tryin' too long (Yeah, uh)
To get it right but it just won't work
We've been tryin' too long (Yeah, yeah)
Uh, to get it right but it just won't work
We've been tryin' too long (Yeah, uh-huh, yeah, uh)
To get it right but it just won't work
We've been tryin' too long (Uh, uh, uh, yeah)
To get it right but it just won't work (Uh)
We've been tryin' too long (Yeah, uh)
To get it right but it just won't work
We've been tryin' too long (Yeah, yeah)
Uh, to get it right but it just won't work
We've been tryin' too long (Yeah, uh-huh, yeah, uh)
To get it right but it just won't work
We've been tryin' too long (Uh, uh, uh, yeah)
To get it right but it just won't work (Uh)
