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
