[Intro]
Yeah, lights low, stage glow, I’m strapped with memories I can’t let go
Whispers in the crowd, I carry you in every flow
[Verse 1]
From the curb where we drew our dreams in chalk and hope, we spoke in codes
Two kids, big hearts, tiny hands clutching fragile tomorrows
We swapped beats and secrets, same sneakers on the schoolyard rails
Now I’m pacing this battlerap, a mantelpiece of your tales
Your laugh in the rhythm, your glow in the bass line
I’m scribbling your name in the air, letting sorrow rhyme
We survived the corners where the sirens sang our fears
I kept our pact alive, you kept me shifting gears
[Chorus]
Memories rise, I won’t forget you, brother in the fight
I carry your voice on my tongue, I’m choosing to ignite
Through the pain, I stand tall, your memory guiding right
On this stage I honor you, push through the longest night
[Verse 2]
You taught me loyalty in a world that only spoke in scars
We promised to survive the rough drafts, to rise beyond the bars
In every quiet moment after school, I hear your key turn in fate’s door
Gratitude floods my lungs for the days you showed me more
The streets still whisper stories of us etched in concrete lines
I guard your legacy like a flag, I grind for what we designed
If I stumble, I’ll rise with your echo riding my spine
Your duties on my back, I wear them like a crown—brave and fine
[Chorus]
Memories rise, I won’t forget you, brother in the fight
I carry your voice on my tongue, I’m choosing to ignite
Through the pain, I stand tall, your memory guiding right
On this stage I honor you, push through the longest night
[Bridge]
No farewell, just a turning page, I write you into every verse
With every bar I break the ache, I rehearse the love I’ll nurse
Your kid’s laughter in the future, your dreams still in my sight
I’ll be the steady drum in the storm, your candle lit through the night
[Chorus]
Memories rise, I won’t forget you, brother in the fight
I carry your voice on my tongue, I’m choosing to ignite
Through the pain, I stand tall, your memory guiding right
On this stage I honor you, push through the longest night
[Outro]
So I honor the bond with every breath I take, I testify
In the echo of the mic, your spirit rides beside
Loyal, resilient, forever close—your era, my guide
We rise, we remember, we finish what we started, side by side
