Rain on the window, middle C hummin’… I found my brother’s notebook under the couch last Tuesday, Coffee stains, a busted MetroCard, and a list called “Way out.” Piano in the corner I never learned—he did. I press his favorite key, G, and it’s like he’s textin’ me back. “2019, Mom’s eviction, I wrote hooks to stay calm.” a sketch of our building with a fire escape he labeled “freedom.” I never knew he slept on that roof when the heat got cut, Just thought he was chasin’ girls and bad mixes. Real thought: I judged him while he was keepin’ us afloat. Left hand drops a minor chord, right hand turns the page. This ain’t a flex, it’s my brother’s ledger, I’m playin’ his silence ’cause I never said “I hear you.” Keys don’t lie—they echo what we hide. “Little sis thinks I’m a ghost, maybe I am.” Today I booked a studio, put his notebook by the mic, Rapped his list word for word—couch, MetroCard, G-chord, roof. Two minutes seventeen, the track ends, rain still falls, Piano rings out, I finally write him back: “I know now.”
