lirik lagu urthboy - glimpses

[verse 1 urthboy]
my mum asked me did she do a good job
did she bring us up right, within a rough ride?
for real ma, i swear there ain’t nothing that i’d swap there
so you should feel pride is how i replied
my blood made brighter by your sunlight
you told me fireworks form with words, when you run riot
the way they races you head when they’re untied
you let me know they’ll run dry but they’ll fly again
the colour of our eyes different the tears the same
but i’ve got your smile when i hear your name
if i’m to inherit your deaf and blindness
let me get the hope and the kindness
i’m cut from the cloth of the finest
from the same stock as your highness
no one deny me of this so please
don’t ask me how you could’ve done a better job
cos there ain’t nothing i can think of

[hook jane & jimblah]
i saw myself in the mirror
got a glimpse of my dad
i did a double take
realised what i had
i’ll go my own way
i’ve got to go i’ll always come back
to be honest it scares me
thinking about that

[verse 2 jane]
memories sting and sooth me
my blue eyes the way i adjust my shoulders
for a moment she’s still here with me
the pain erased and the weight released
i join the dots to make a picture
so many gaps where fables are builders
it gets me closer to who she was
what she gave me, what i lost
she gave me comp-ssion
see and trust what i imagine
so i stand where she stood
share the footsteps that she took
with my feet in her shoes
i do what i do for two
i transcribe our truth
hope one day i’ll p-ss it on too

[hook]

[verse 3]
i got this from my old man
he used to sing and jam with my sis on the keys
that self-belied, my mum’s side of the family tree
i owe it to my grandmother for that will to achieve
and all the dreams that i perceive because i put in time now
on the princ-p-ls and morals what i base my life around
it’s the foundation: larrakia, dutch, yanuwa
can’t forget philo blood spanish cuz, what up brah?
talking all corners of the globe just to get where i’m from
and yet i still call this home
like the coast when i see it after forty thou years
so precious i’m connected through the ghosts of my peers
ancestors, bless us with an angelic presence
i can feel it in my vein now the strength that i treasure
re-up for the blessing as now
i can look at my hands and see a life-long investment
questions

[hook]
