Someone right now is leaving their apartment looking down at the street wondering where their 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 there's somebody on the curb who really needs a jacket spent half the rent at a bar getting plastered now he's gotta walk fourteen blocks 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. Theres somebody
living right across the street just wrote the best thing shes written all week, but her best friends coughing up blood in the sink cant even think what happened feeling so confused and he knows it looks bad but there
nothing he can do
I wonder what it's like to be right there in his shoes
[Chorus]
But, no 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 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 down his throat
For the act of freedom right now somebody is stuck in Iraq, hoping that he gets shipped back breathing
in a war but he's not really sure of the reasons so we show our support when the press mislead them
though we morn remain proud and salute the troops get some I know you boys got some work to do
Meanwhile right now someones 25 to life-ing and is standing on the corner with their thumb up hitchhiking
scratching 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 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,
[Repeat]
Yeah 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 shit
right now somebody's 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 it's 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 y'all think
right now its somebody who ain't eat all week that would kill for the shit you throw away in the street I guess
one man's trash is another man's 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
Im just taking it in another strange hotel lobby again put my luggage on my back I dont 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
