I Deserve a Tip
I deserve a tip
I know if I serve my people
I serve God
I know if I serve the world
I look foolish
in the face of the bad
I realise there is no
better way if I don't
sacrifice for my people
the hopes the dreams
the confidence
the future
I can see it in my people
they are from God
so I know if I serve my people
I serve God
I deserve a tip
like a humble servants
I chose to be in this
times of hardship
like a prophet the
words of redemption
never seize to exist
from the deep of my soul
this people has been through
a lot in a world trapped in brutality
this people has cried out
with all energy they got
just to earn freedom
my people is taken
for granted even in a
time of help
they are pushed away
to bleed in griefs
and when my eyes see
this calamities upon
my people I got no
choice than to serve
my people with love
I deserve a tip
the legacy I grow
can't be a lasting reality
with out the love of my people
I want my kids to be free
on the streets of the commoners
with no harm nor intimidation
I want the humanity I preach
to be given to all humans
I want to grow old
realising I own nothing
knowing I paid my dues
paid for the sake
of the love of my people
for the ultimate sake of
the better living of
all human
I want my words
to be read written
in the mind of the good
so I see the life I sick
in loving my people
so I serve them
with all I got
and if I deserve nothing
I will not worry
cos already love
is the ultimate goal
of all I gave
so with out been told
my people knows
I deserve to be remembered
I deserve a tip
I deserve a tip
I gave my talents
I gave my heart
I gave my best
I gave my spirit
I gave my words
I gave my music
I will gave more
I gave not for vanity
but for humanity
I gave cos I own nothing
and if there is a thing
I deserve from the
love I gave to mankind
I deserve a tip
I deserve a tip
just tip me back
with love
just tip me back with
care
just tip me back
with kindness
just tip me back
like a human
cos for all I gave
I own nothing
despite
I deserve a tip
