(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 divorcée   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
