Someone right now is leaving their apartment
Looking down at the street and wondering where their car went
Someone in a car is 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
Just to work at a shop where he’s about to get fired
Someone right now is lookin pretty tired
Staring at a laptop trying to get inspired
And somebody living right across the street
Just wrote the best thing that she’s written all week
But her best friend’s coughing up blood in the sink
He 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…

Yo, somebody right now is dropping his vocal
Inside a box and trying to knock this shit out his throat
For the act of freedom right now somebody’s stuck in Iraq
Hoping that he’ll get 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 mourn, remain main proud, salute the troops
Get some, I know you boys got some work to do

Meanwhile, right now someone’s 25-to-life
And they’re standing on a corner with their thumb up hitch hiking
Scratching off a Lotto ticket hoping for a real winner
Sneaking through ??? just to work and eat a real dinner
Right now someone wishes they were you and I
Instead of second-guessing frequent thoughts of quite suicide
Right now staring out window at a fiend
With holes in his arms and holes in his jeans
He pulled out a cigarette and sparked a light
And walked right around a corner just out of my sight but…

Yo, I’m just taking it in
On 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…

Yeah, right now somebody’s sitting in the darkness
Tryna figure how to put some heat in their apartment
But they got a little matress, 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 ride by 'em when she comin' from the market
Right now somebody comin out the pocket
Tryin' to dump that rock, they running 'round the block
Same time the cops is raisin' the glack
With aim to fill your legs and your back with some bullshit
Right now someone’s struggling to stop this man
Who’s kicking and punching and cussin at the doctors
Down the hall a child taking it’s first breath
The doc hasn’t even passed him to the nurse yet
Yo, I wonder if he understands what it’s worth yet
Life, the time spend while we here 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 there’s somebody who ain’t eat all week
That would kill for this shit you throw away in the street
I guess one 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 takin it in
In another strange hotel lobby again
With my luggage on my back, I don’t know where I’m at
I’m in a world where it all change just like that…

Yeah, 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…
