90% Of The Time Lyrics - Badlees

(Naydock) 

Ten times I stopped by 

'Cause she said to stop by 

Nine times we flowed 

Like good rhythm and rhyme 

I was a good ear 

A welcome companion 

90% of the time 

She was from Baltimore 

Recent divorce 

From a man who found fortune 

In pool installation 

And you could get close 

In a way she could manage 

But never encounter the breadth of her station 

'Cause she couldn't ever 

Betray independence 

Her independence was a personal sign 

This is for someone who let me inside 

90% of the time 

She worked the counter 

Down at second street video 

She'd rent releases 

She could empathize watching 

Woman would triumph 

Assimilation 

That she felt good was the thing 

Yeah, no time for sympathy 

Or mock conventions 

No chance to leave personal items behind 

I was a witness 

She let scratch the surface 

90% of the time 

'Cause she couldn't ever 

Betray independence 

Her independence was a personal sign 

This is for someone who let me inside 

90% of the time 

Tenth time around 

It came unexpected 

Though I'd play scenarios 

For a week till that day 

I had felt something 

She said she felt the same thing 

And we knew that that wouldn't play 

Well, maybe she lied 

And maybe she had to 

'Cause maybe I'd found 

What I hadn't yet seen 

But there in the doorway 

The moment had brought us 

To a place she rarely had been 

'Cause she couldn't ever 

Betray independence 

Her independence was a personal sign 

This is for someone who let me inside 

90% of the time
