Paint Fade

Hang a picture on the wall of me and you now

So as time passes by, you'll always be around

I won't let it come down

I won't let it come down, come down

I won't let the paint fade

Hey Ma, how you doing

I guess your baby boy doing okay

Could be better but you know how it is down here

Same shit, just a different day

Still working hard at what you told me to do

And at the rate I'm going, I'mma be there soon

And every other week I dream that you alive

Not a day that go by, I don't think of you

'Cause you my Queen of Diamonds or a pair of dice

You the reason I am who I am

That is why I am dedicating this to the one I truly miss

Put you on my inner forearm tattoo to remind me

You not far, literally at arm's reach

A new meaning to wearing my heart on my sleeve

Ma, my angel, Victoria Mary Diamond

Keep shining like one, Son

Hang a picture on the wall of me and you now

So as time passes by, you'll always be around

I won't let it come down

I won't let it come down, come down

I won't let the paint fade

Hey fam', how you doing

I know it's been a while, but I held strong

It's been hard knowing every day when I'm out on the road

That I miss where my life's gone

I hate that I miss the boys' games on the weekend

And I heard my niece learning how to play the violin

How's Mum and Dad though, they still working hard

I guess it's fair to say that it's the island blood, the island love

I miss my aunts up in Samoa

Me trying to understand, thinking like I know

I wish I could take you all on the plane too

And travel 'round the world, experience what I'm going through

I'm dedicating this verse as a small token of my appreciation

That you know that I love you, although I'll hardly ever say it

Without you, there's no me and all I gotta say is

Hang a picture on the wall of me and you now

So as time passes by, you'll always be around
