[ti:Right now]
[ar:Fort Minor]
[al:The rising tied]

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 restaraunt staring through the window
at someoneright 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 abar 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
shes wrote the best things 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 therenothing he can do
I wonder what its like to be right there in his shoes

But no im just taking it in
out the window of a hotel bedroom again
tommorrow ill be gone
I dont 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 stading on the corner with their thumb up hitchiking
stratching 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 were not
instead of second guessing freedom thoughts of quiet suicide

But right now im staring at the window at a frame
with holes in his arm and holes in his jeans
he pulled out his siger and sparked the light
and walked right around the corner just outta my sight

But yo im 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 im just taking it in

Ya right now somebody sitting in the darkness
trying to figure out how to put some heat in their apartment
but they got a little matress and a little carpet
and they appreciate it cause some people own apartments

You seem 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
at the same time the cops is raising the block with aint
for your legs and back with some hot ***

Right now somebody struggling to stop this man
whos kick and punching and cussing at the doctors

Down the hall the child taking his first breath
the doctors aint even passed him to the nurse yet yo
I wonder if he understands what its 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 its somebody who aint eat all week that would kill for the *** that you throw away in the street
I guess ones mans trash is the next mans treaure one mans pain is the next mans pleasure
one say infinity the next say forever right now erbody 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 im at
im in world where we all change just like that,
like that, like that, just like that, like that, just like that

Im just taking it in
