Fort Minor - Right Now (feat. Black Thought Of The Roots and Styles Of Beyond)
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 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 theres somebody on the curb who really needs a jacket spent half a grand at a bar 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 there nothing 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 tomorrow 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 standing on the corner with their thumb up hitchhiking stretching 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 im 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 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 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,
