Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

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
