I was an August baby |
| [00:24.38] |
Conceived by the Christmas lights |
| [00:28.13] |
I came into the world by the setting sun |
| [00:34.94] |
On a humid summer night |
| [00:38.38] |
When my grandmother held me for the very first time |
| [00:40.94] |
She thanked God I looked like |
| [00:42.55] |
My daddy |
| [00:43.73] |
And I never quite knew just |
| [00:45.29] |
What she meant |
| [00:46.36] |
But I knew she was a lit-tle too happy |
| [00:48.46] |
And now I see |
| [00:50.96] |
You can't change a stubborn mind |
| [00:56.05] |
You can't see the world if your eyes are blind |
| [01:00.75] |
What does it matter anyway |
| [01:07.50] |
In our |
| [01:07.93] |
Darkest hour we're all just shades of grey |
| [01:25.96] |
They got married in a tiny chapel |
| [01:31.90] |
1965 |
| [01:36.46] |
Malcolm X was on the radio |
| [01:42.59] |
When he took her as his wife |
| [01:46.40] |
And she looked so pretty that September day |
| [01:48.65] |
And her older brother cried as he gave her away |
| [01:51.40] |
And the minister looked like he didn't know what to say |
| [01:56.96] |
And then he spoke |
| [01:58.71] |
You can't change a stubborn mind |
| [02:03.96] |
You can't see the world if your eyes are blind |
| [02:09.78] |
What does it matter anyway |
| [02:13.71] |
In our |
| [02:15.74] |
Darkest hour we're all just shades of grey |
| [02:53.58] |
And when my grandmother held me |
| [02:55.08] |
For the very first time |
| [02:56.20] |
She thanked God |
| [02:57.33] |
I looked like my daddy |
| [02:58.95] |
And I never gave a |
| [03:00.01] |
Damn just what she meant |
| [03:01.45] |
But I knew she was a little too happy |
| [03:04.14] |
And now I see |
| [03:06.39] |
You can't change a stubborn mind |
| [03:11.34] |
You can't see the world if your eyes are blind |
| [03:16.83] |
What does it matter anyway |
| [03:21.90] |
In our darkest hour we're all just shades of grey |
| [03:31.40] |
In our darkest hour we're all just shades of |
| [03:36.77] |
Darkest hour we're all just |
| [03:41.15] |
Shades of grey - Hey Hey Hey |
| [03:52.96] |
It doesn't matter anyway Don't give a damn |
| [04:00.09] |
Don't give a damn |
| [04:00.90] |
Don't give a damn what they say |
| [04:07.09] |
We're all just shades of grey |
| [04:12.53] |
We're all just shades of grey |
| [04:19.97] |
Shades of grey |
