Forever my brother

I never thought I’d have to write these words…

But here I am,

talking to the stars,

hoping somehow,

you still hear me.

Phone rang — I knew something was wrong,

Heart sank deep when they said you were gone.

Didn’t cry at first, just froze in place,

Like life paused, couldn't feel my face.

Tried to breathe, but the air felt thick,

World spun slow, I got sick quick.

They said “accident,” I said “no way,”

Still expect to hear your voice today.

We were two young kings chasing the sun,

Always wildin' out, just having fun.

You had my back when no one cared,

Now your hoodie’s hangin' in my room like a prayer.

Remember those nights we snuck out late?

Talked about dreams and escaping fate.

You were more than blood, you were soul,

Half of my heart, now it don’t feel whole.

Forever my brother, forever my guide,

Even in death, I feel you ride.

You might be gone, but you're still near,

I see you in shadows, feel you right here.

So I’ll speak your name ‘til my last breath,

‘Cause love don’t die, even in death.

You live in my steps, in everything I do,

Forever my brother — I’ll carry you.

Tried to hold it in, but the tears break through,

Every little thing brings me back to you.

Your laugh, your shoes, that stupid grin,

I wish I could go back and start again.

I ain’t been the same since the day you left,

Some nights I barely got strength for breath.

But I hear you say, “Keep going, G,”

So I push, even when it hurts to be.

I’m living for you now — every move,

Every verse I spit got your groove.

Told your son you were brave, bold, kind,

Said he’s got your fire, your brilliant mind.

Got your name inked where the pain won't fade,

That’s how I cope, how your light gets made.

So when they ask if I’m alone in the fight,

I say, “Nah — my brother walks in the night.”

Forever my brother, my strength, my flame,

This life goes on, but it ain’t the same.

You taught me how to rise and love,

Now I feel you watchin’ from above.

So I live loud, I live true,

And every win I get — that’s for you.

We lost your voice, but never your soul,

Forever my brother…

Still making me whole.

🕊️ Rest easy. I got you now. 🕊️
