Paint Fade - Smashproof, Drew

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 sh*t, 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

I won’t let it come down

I won’t let it come down, come down

I won’t let the paint fade

Don’t let the paint fade, don’t let the paint fade

Don’t let the paint fade, don’t let the paint fade

Don’t let the paint fade, don’t let the paint fade

Don’t let the paint fade, don’t let the paint fade

Hang a picture on the wall of me and you now

Come down, come down

I won’t let the paint fade

Yeah, I thought that I’d found everything I was looking for

But the colours that I didn’t have was the ones missing on the wall

Until I met you, taking this old frame, making me brand new

Got me feeling over the moon the day we had you

'Cause I knew you were a part of me like my tattoos

And I know now everything happens for a reason

Your mum and dad made it through and it wasn’t easy

But that’s not, and one day you will grow up and find out for yourself

Or maybe get your heart broken, but just know that life goes on

And I promise that I’mma catch you whenever you fall

And I promise to love you even after I’mma ghost

Mila, the best song that I ever wrote, Dad

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

Don’t let the paint fade, don’t let the paint fade

Don’t let the paint fade, don’t let the paint fade

Don’t let the paint fade, don’t let the paint fade

Don’t let the paint fade, don’t let the paint fade

Hang a picture on the wall of me and you now

Come down, come down

I won’t let the paint fade
