RIGHT NOW

Someone right now is leaving their apartment Looking down at the street and wondering where their car went Someone in a car is sitting at a signal In front of a restaurant staring thru the window at Someone right now with their finger in their teeth Who could use a little floss right across the street there's Somebody on the curb who really needs a jacket But spent half the rent at a bar getting plastered Now he's gotta walk 14 blocks just to Work at a shop where he's about to get fired Someone right now is looking pretty tired Staring at a laptop trying to get inspired as Somebody living right across the street Just wrote the best thing that she's written all week But her best friend is coughing up blood in the sink He can't even think what happened feeling so confused And he knows it looks bad but there's nothing he can do I wonder what it's like to be right there in his shoes But Yo I'm just taking it in Out the window of a hotel bedroom again Tomorrow I'll be gone I don't know when I'll be back But in this world everything can change just like that Like that… Yo Somebody right now is dropping his vote inside a Box and trying to not get shot in his throat for the act of freedom Right now Somebody's stuck in lraq Hoping that he gets shipped back breathing In a war but he's not really sure the reasons So we show our support when the press mislead him Though we mourn remain proud salute the troops Get some I know you boys got some work to do Meanwhile right now someone's 25-to-life-ing Standing on a corner with their thumb up hitchhiking Scratching off a lotto ticket hoping for a real winner Sneaking through the border just to work and eat a real dinner Right now someone wishes they were you and I Instead of second-guessing fatal thoughts of quiet suicide But right now I'm staring out the window at a fiend With holes in his arm and holes in his jeans He pulled out a cigarette and sparked a light And walked right around the corner just out of my sight Yo I'm just taking it in From a second story hotel window again The T.V.'s on and my bags are packed But in this world everything can change just like that Like that… Yo I'm just taking it in From a second story hotel window again The T.V.'s on and my bags are packed But in this world everything can change just like that Like that… Yeah right now somebody's sittin' in the darkness Tryin' to figure how to put some heat in they apartment but They got a little mattress Little carpet And they appreciate it 'cause some people on a park bench You see 'em when you rushing to get to the office Wife ride by 'em when she comin' from the market Right now somebody comin' out the pocket Tryin' to dump that rock they runnin' round the block with Same time the cops is raisin' the glock With aim to fill your legs and your back with some hot shit Right now somebody's struggling to stop this Man that's kicking and punching and cussing at the doctors Down the hall a child is takin' its first breath The doctors ain't even passed him to the nurse yet yo I wonder if he understand what it's worth yet Life the time spent while we here on the earth yet The answers to the questions we all seek Can be found it depend on how free y'all think Right now it's somebody who ain't eat all week The would kill for the shit you throw away in the street I guess one man's trash is the next man's treasure One man's pain is the next man's pleasure One say infinity the next say forever Right now everybody got to get it together man I'm just taking it in In another strange hotel lobby again With my luggage on my back I don't know where I'm at I'm in a world where it all change just like that Like that… Yeah I'm just taking it in Out the window of a hotel bedroom again Tomorrow I'll be gone I don't know when I'll be back But in this world everything can change just like that Like that…
