Right Now

Someone right now is leaving their apartment

Looking down at the street wondering where there car went

Someone in the car sitting at a signal

In front of a restaurant

Staring through the window at someone

Right now with their finger in their teeth

Who could use a little floss

Right across the street theres 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 hes about to get fired

Someone right now is looking pretty tired

Staring at a laptop trying to get inspired

Somebody living right across the street

She's wrote the best things she's written all week

But her best friends coughing up

Blood in the sink can't even think what happened

Feeling so confused and he knows it looks bad

But there nothing he can do

I wonder what its like to be right there in his shoes

But no i'm just taking it in out the window of a hotel bedroom again

Tomorrow ill be gone I don't know

When ill 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 dropping 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

Hoping that he gets shipped back breathing in a war

That hes 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 standing on the corner with their thumb up hitchhiking

Stretching off a lotto ticket hoping for a real winner

Sneaking through the water just to work and to 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 at 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 outta my sight

But yo i'm just taking 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

But yo i'm just taking 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 somebodys sittin in the darkness

Trying to figure out how to put some heat in their apartment

But they got a little mattress a 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 around the block

With same time cops is raisin the glock with aim to fill your legs

And your back with some hot sh*t

Right now somebodys strugglin to stop this man

Thats kicking and punching cussing at the doctors down the hall

A child is takin his first breath

The doctors ain't even passed him to the nurse

Yet yo i wonder if he understand what its worth

Yet like the time spent on while we hear on the earth

Yet the answers to the questions we all seek can be found

It depend on how free yall think

Right now its somebody who ain't eat all week

That would kill for the sh*t you throw away in the street

I guess one mans trash is another mans treasure one mans pain

Is the next mans pleasure one say infinity the next say forever

Right now everybody got to get it together man

I'm 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

But no i'm just taking it in out the window of a hotel bedroom again

Tomorrow ill be gone I don't know

When ill be back and this world everything can change

Just like that that just like that
