Kaytranada & Kali Uchis 10% (prod. Kaytranada)

Kaytranada and Kali Uchis are taking you on a trip down memory lane as they outfit the ambience of their latest “10%” music video.

The track is plucked straight from the BUBBA tracklist and finds a great complement in the retro-inspired clip. Sampling First Choice’s “Love Thang,” the cut sets an instant mood that is channelled effectively just as Kaytranada prepares to embark on his North American headlining run. The trek kicks off on April 22nd in San Francisco to wrap up on June 6th at Paisley Park for a scheduled Prince celebration.

In between, he’ll make stops in Atlanta, Boston, Dallas and NYC among other locales.

Lyrics

[Refrain]
You keep on takin’ from me
But where’s my ten percent?
You keep on takin’ from me
I wonder where you went
You keep on takin’ from me
But where’s my ten percent?
You keep on takin’ from me

[Chorus]
Why you tryna lie for them?
Pretending who you are
But baby, why even pretend?
You’re trying way too hard
Ego is not your friend
I only speak the truth
No, I’m not trying to offend
But why you tryna lie for them?

[Verse]
I wake up, it’s so good to be me
In the mirror, it’s good to see me
I don’t check for these other bitches
You can ask God ’cause that’s my witness
You just don’t have a clue who to be
Look in your eyes, I see the envy
I don’t check for these other bitches
You can ask God ’cause that’s my witness

[Chorus]
Why you tryna lie for them?
Pretending who you are
But baby, why even pretend?
You’re trying way too hard
Ego is not your friend
I only speak the truth
No, I’m not trying to offend
But why you tryna lie for them?

[Refrain]
You keep on takin’ from me
But where’s my ten percent?
You keep on takin’ from me
I wonder where you went
You keep on takin’ from me
But where’s my ten percent?
You keep on takin’ from me

[Bridge]
I’m a psycho
All the animal
Run my money to me
Don’t act like you didn’t know
You’ve been watered down, baby
I gotta keep it pure
Where’s my residuals?

[Refrain]
You keep on takin’ from me
But where’s my ten percent?
You keep on takin’ from me
I wonder where you went
You keep on takin’ from me
But where’s my ten percent?
You keep on takin’ from me

[Chorus]
Why you tryna lie for them?
Pretending who you are
But baby, why even pretend?
You’re trying way too hard
Ego is not your friend
I only speak the truth
No, I’m not trying to offend
But why you tryna lie for them?
