Before the world heard you, heaven already spoke
Before they saw your fire, I saw the smoke
Before they knew your name, I knew your soul
Before they saw your rise, I saw the goal
Before they knew your strength or your word
I knew you first, my little brother J Bird
Johnny was the name heaven trusted first
Placed in your spirit before the world rehearsed
Before they saw strength, before they saw flame
Before J Bird ever became your name
I watched identity settle in your walk
Confidence lived in the way that you talked
You didn't become, you revealed your flame
Purpose was always tied to your name
Rapping wasn't effort, it was natural release
Like truth found rhythm just trying to speak
Every line carried breath from your chest
Every word carried proof you was already blessed
You didn't chase sound, sound came correct
You didn't force presence, presence gave respect
You didn't ask space, space already knew
Because heaven made sure the world saw you
J Bird, your legacy and name will always remain
Still see your light through all my days
Still feel your presence in unseen ways
J Bird, your legacy remains
J Bird, you forever reign
Heaven and earth still speak your name
Nothing about you was ordinary or plain
J Bird, you forever reign
You made me a big sister the moment you arrived
Gave me responsibility wrapped inside pride
I didn't just love you, I covered your name
Prayed over your life before you knew pain
I saw greatness resting quiet in your bones
Even before you knew how much you'd grown
You carried a light that refused to dim
Heaven wrote strength deep within
You trusted my voice in ways unspoken
You never saw me as weak or broken
You saw me as steady, you saw me as true
That kind of belief, only brothers do
You used to laugh and say to me red girls are played out
I'd laugh and fire back, boy, you don't know what you talkin bout
I told you that you wasn't as fine as you believed
But that was our love language only we could read
Those moments still live in the air I breathe
Still part of the bond time couldn't leave
Not just memories, but pieces of truth
Still my little brother, still my proof
And even now your presence remains intense
Because real love never learned past tense
You still present in ways eyes can't see
Still my little brother, still part of me
J Bird, your legacy and name will always remain
Still see your light through all my days
Still feel your presence in unseen ways
J Bird, your legacy remains
J Bird, you forever reign
Heaven and earth still speak your name
Nothing about you was ordinary or plain
J Bird, you forever reign
You walked like someone heaven assigned
Not asking permission to exist in your design
Not shrinking yourself to make others feel tall
You stood in your purpose, unapologetically all
You carried something deeper than sound
Something heaven sent but earth held down
You didn't need approval to know who you'd be
God already stamped your identity
You was Black Geezus in your momma eyes
Her answered prayer, her living pride
The proof God still listens when mothers cry
The kind of love that never dies
Your voice still echoes, steady and clear
Still feel your presence always near
Still guiding me without being seen
Still part of every in between
You never faded, you rose above
Still surround my life with strength and love
What heaven received, earth still proclaims
J Bird lives on, forever remains
J Bird, your legacy and name will always remain
Still see your light through all my days
Still feel your presence in unseen ways
J Bird, your legacy remains
J Bird, you forever reign
Heaven and earth still speak your name
Nothing about you was ordinary or plain
J Bird, you forever reign
You still speak in ways silence understands
Still walk with me without holding my hand
Still show up in strength when mine feels thin
Still remind me where you've always been
Not gone... just lifted higher than sight
Still my blood, still my light
I love you forever, J Bird
Love always, your big sister Punkin
