Once A Day
***_
Oh Ricky... Oh Ricky C. Ngezyi...
Mulungu samagona. But
You'll never get answers if you never prayed, who God bless yuh words say no man curse _
**
St. Marks days, books in my hand but tears in my eyes
Fees were high, future looked low, I asked God why
Classroom to classroom, but stomach was empty inside
I promised myself: “Ricky, you will survive”
**
NKANA Academy called, but tuition fees were a mountain
No money in my pocket, just faith and a fountain of doubt in
I started writing assignments for people just to eat
One meal a day... eish, my body couldn’t compete
Stomach started burning, ulcers came to stay
Peptic ulcers pain, but I still had to pray
**
They said “Ngezyi, you’ll never make it out the dust”
Sleeping on hunger, waking up on “must”
Must pass, must hustle, must not give up
Even when my body was shutting down, cup by cup
_**_
Once a day... that’s all I had to eat
Once a day... ulcers and the concrete street
Once a day... but I still believed in me
Thank God, Thank God, He never forgot me
**
Then deployment letter came, government said “Ricky, come serve”
After all that pain, I finally got what I deserve
One year later, DMI St. Eugene opened the door
Degree program started, I said “never again poor”
Books and hustle again, but this time with food on my plate
Stomach healing, mind awake, changing my fate
**
But school wasn’t the end, it was just the start
Me and my brother Ethan, we both had heart
From hunger we learned, how to build from scratch
FurniMavens was born, seat covers to headboards we stitch
Pa Jay’s Complex Choma, we customize with pride
But gratitude is the most
Once I ate once a day... now I feed more than just my side.
akale baleseka abantu ati takulibaleya impiya shaleshupilakumo Nasha rent
as the odage goes the master mind is one who feeds others out of his talent
**
From St. Marks struggles... to NKANA hustle...
From once-a-day meals... to ulcers that troubled...
From writing for food... to writing my own story...
Ricky C. Ngezyi...... lelo ni graduation + glory! _Today is graduation + glory!_
**
Once a day... but God saw me through
Once a day... but now my dreams came true
Once a day... peptic ulcers left a scar
Once a day... but lelo degree holder we are!
FurniMavens rising, me and Ethan side by side
From hunger to honors, from pain to provide!
Thank God! Thank God! Ricky C. Ngezyi is graduating!
From once a day... to building an empire!
_**_
I always tell myself that Ricky C. Ngezyi, in life kukosa! _life is hard!_
From St. Marks, to NKANA, to DMI St. Eugene
From once a day... to FurniMavens scene!
Team tabesha tata... A master mind is one who feeds others out of his talent..God did! _nilesa fye... God did!*
