Right Now

Someone right now

Is leaving their apartment

Lookin' down at the street

Wonderin' where there car went

Someone in a car

Sittin' at a signal

In front of a restaraunt

Starin' through 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

Spent half a grand at a bar getting plastered

Now hes gotta walk fourteen blocks

To work at a shop where he's about to get fired

Someone right now

Is looking pretty tired

Starin' at a laptop

Tryin' to get inspired

Somebody

Livin' right across the street

She's wrote the best things shes written all week

But her best friend's coughin' up blood in the sink

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 its like to be right there in his shoes

But no

I'm just takin' it in

Out the window of a hotel bedroom again

Tommorrow I'll be gone

I dont know when I'll be back

And this world everything can change just like that

That

Just like that

Just like that that

Just like that

Just like that

Yo

Somebody right now is droppin' his vote

Inside a box and trying not to get shot in his throat

For the act of freedom

Right now somebody is stuck in Iraq

Hopin' that he gets shipped back breathin'

A war that he's not really sure of the reasons

So we show our support when the press mislead them

Though we more then remain proud and salute the troops

Get some I know you boys got some work to do

Meanwhile

Right now someones 25 to life

And is standin' on the corner

With their thumb up hitchikin'

Stratching off a lotto ticket

Hopin' for a real winner

Sneakin' through the water just to work

And to eat a real dinner

Right now someone wishes they were you and I

Instead of second guessin' freedom thoughts of quiet suicide

But right now

I'm staring at the window

At a frame with holes in his arms

And holes in his jeans

He pulled out his Cigarette and sparked the light

And walked right around the corner just outta my sight

But yo

I'm just takin' it in

From the second story hotel window again

The TV's on, and my bags are packed

But in this world everything can change just like that

Like that

Like that

Like that

Ya

Right now somebody sittin' in the darkness

Tryin' to figure out how to put some heat in they apartment

But they got a little matress

And a little carpet

And they appreciate it

Cause some people on a park bench

You seen them when you rushin' to get to the office

Wife robbed blind when she comin' from the market

Right now somebody coming out from the pocket

Tryin' to dump that rock they run around the block wit' it at

The same time the cops is raisin' a Glock with ain't for your legs

And back with some hot shit

Right now somebody strugglin' to stop this man

Who's kickin' and punchin' and cussin' at the doctors

Down the hall the child taking his first breath

The doctors ain't even passed him to the nurse yet

Yo I wonder if he understands what it's worth yet

Like the time spent while we here on the earth

Yet the answer to the question that we all seek

To be found at the general how all free your fate

Right now it's somebody who ain't eat all week

That would kill for the shit that you throw away in the street

I guess ones man's trash is the next man's treaure

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

Im just taking it in

Another strange hotel lobby again

Put my luggage on my back

I don't know where I'm at

I'm in world where we all change just like that

Like that

Like that

Just like that

Like that

Just like that

Just like that

Just like that
