Right Now (Fort Minor)

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
