Someone right now is leaving their apartment   Looking down at the street and 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 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      Somebody living right across the street   She 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's nothing he can do   I wonder what it's 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 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 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 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 standing on the corner with their thumb up hitchiking   Scratching off a lotto ticket hoping for a real winner   Sneaking through the border just to work and to eat a real dinner      Right now someone wishes they were you were not   Instead of second guessing freedom thoughts of quiet suicide   But right now I'm staring at the window at a frame   With holes in his arm and holes in his jeans   He pulled out his ciggerette sparked the 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      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      Ya, right now somebody's sitting in the darkness   Trying to figure out how to put some heat in their apartment   But they got no mattress no carpet   And they appreciate it 'cause some people on a park bench      You see them when you rushing to get to the office   Wife robbed blind when she coming from the market   Right now somebody coming out from the pocket   Trying to dump that rock they run around the block with      The same time the cops is raising the glock with aim   To fill your legs and back with some hot shit   Right now somebody struggling to stop this man   Who's kicking and punching and cussing 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   Can be found depend on how free y'all think   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 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 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      Yeah, 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   But in this world everything can change just like that, like that, yeah
