Sugar James - The Main Thing

Sat relaxin the knackered feet back and hands
The mans had me swinging at the land
With an pick axe that has cracks in the handle
Taped up cut hands muck up the angle its swung
And while im hunched at lunch snackin
I'm drawn to the thought of waking up to come back and stuff up another fuckin mission
With skipper sittin on ma back thinking can a younger man listen
Saturday and given a spade for diggin
Mad at the fact, put a crack in the drain he fitted
Prayed and wished but he came in bustin a vein
Another one to taint his company name
Another day done being paid to make an an old man with a plan be made
But that isn't the way to think, see I'm putting cash in the bank
And they say that's the main thing
Thoughts I'm havin of handin in cash to fix the wagon
I've had since sixteen and at the crack of dawn spits steam n ticks
Been screaming hints at me to be cleaned n fixed
But this ones dum and stubborn
And that pay comin in could be traded for a bag and a dozen
But had it comin
At school did study all that was taught but that was all but money
So i gapped it for a mechanic gig and the hunt for the plan to stick with began
Switched from the rag and spanner to delivering snacks in a van
To a man with a hammer
And if one month was one finger, take one hand
And I'm back in front of a teacher to study business and money
Was one to think thtat with that I would stack heaps
And that that's the main thing
Sweet relief another week managed
Had to knuckle up n hack suckin up to them
To grab another week's rashens of drinks, bags of weed and caps
All of which are worth workin all week to have
Worth weeks of the other workers having jabs at me
Reminding me the 90th day could have me packing
Dragging but if I can stick with it, I'll have the ticket to go n bag up to six figures
And with that, gee the family would be happy
Mum and dad glad to have a son
Stacking money in the bank and becoming a man
Standing on feet, not needing a hand
It seems that's what it means to make it
Atleast that's what they all keep on sayin
And since I'm a rookie in the game and unable to think of how to play
I'll just believe what they say
