[00:17.450]I was an August baby
[00:19.700]
[00:24.080]Conceived by the Christmas lights
[00:27.080]
[00:27.830]I came into the world by the setting sun
[00:33.710]
[00:34.640]On a humid summer night
[00:38.080]When my grandmother held me for the very first time
[00:40.640]She thanked God I looked like
[00:42.250]My daddy
[00:42.680]
[00:43.430]And I never quite knew just
[00:44.990]What she meant
[00:46.060]But I knew she was a lit-tle too happy
[00:48.160]And now I see
[00:49.030]
[00:50.660]You can't change a stubborn mind
[00:53.530]
[00:55.750]You can't see the world if your eyes are blind
[01:00.450]What does it matter anyway
[01:04.570]
[01:07.200]In our
[01:07.630]Darkest hour we're all just shades of grey
[01:12.780]
[01:25.660]They got married in a tiny chapel
[01:31.600]1965
[01:33.040]
[01:36.160]Malcolm X was on the radio
[01:39.720]
[01:42.290]When he took her as his wife
[01:46.100]And she looked so pretty that September day
[01:48.350]And her older brother cried as he gave her away
[01:51.100]And the minister looked like he didn't know what to say
[01:54.160]
[01:56.660]And then he spoke
[01:57.850]
[01:58.410]You can't change a stubborn mind
[02:01.670]
[02:03.660]You can't see the world if your eyes are blind
[02:09.480]What does it matter anyway
[02:13.410]In our
[02:15.440]Darkest hour we're all just shades of grey
[02:20.500]
[02:53.280]And when my grandmother held me
[02:54.780]For the very first time
[02:55.900]She thanked God
[02:57.030]I looked like my daddy
[02:58.650]And I never gave a
[02:59.710]Damn just what she meant
[03:01.150]But I knew she was a little too happy
[03:03.840]And now I see
[03:04.650]
[03:06.090]You can't change a stubborn mind
[03:09.910]
[03:11.040]You can't see the world if your eyes are blind
[03:16.530]What does it matter anyway
[03:19.910]
[03:21.600]In our darkest hour we're all just shades of grey
[03:27.720]
[03:31.100]In our darkest hour we're all just shades of
[03:36.470]Darkest hour we're all just
[03:39.160]
[03:40.850]Shades of grey - Hey  Hey  Hey
[03:48.220]
[03:52.660]It doesn't matter anyway Don't give a damn
[03:59.790]Don't give a damn
[04:00.600]Don't give a damn what they say
[04:04.410]
[04:06.790]We're all just shades of grey
[04:09.350]
[04:12.230]We're all just shades of grey
[04:16.910]
[04:19.670]Shades of grey
