Someone right now Is leaving their apartment Lookin' down at the street Wonderin' where there car went Someone in a car Sittin' at a signal In front of a restaraunt Starin' 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 a grand at a bar getting plastered Now hes gotta walk fourteen blocks To work at a shop where he's about to get fired Someone right now Is looking pretty tired Starin' at a laptop Tryin' to get inspired Somebody Livin' right across the street She's wrote the best things shes written all week But her best friend's coughin' 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 its like to be right there in his shoes But no I'm just takin' it in Out the window of a hotel bedroom again Tommorrow I'll be gone I dont know when I'll 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 droppin' 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 Hopin' that he gets shipped back breathin' 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 standin' on the corner With their thumb up hitchikin' Stratching off a lotto ticket Hopin' for a real winner Sneakin' through the water just to work And to eat a real dinner Right now someone wishes they were you and I Instead of second guessin' freedom thoughts of quiet suicide But right now I'm staring at the window At a frame with holes in his arms And holes in his jeans He pulled out his Cigarette and sparked the light And walked right around the corner just outta my sight But yo I'm just takin' 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 Ya Right now somebody sittin' in the darkness Tryin' to figure out how to put some heat in they apartment But they got a little matress And a little carpet And they appreciate it Cause some people on a park bench You seen them when you rushin' to get to the office Wife robbed blind when she comin' from the market Right now somebody coming out from the pocket Tryin' to dump that rock they run around the block wit' it at The same time the cops is raisin' a Glock with ain't for your legs And back with some hot shit Right now somebody strugglin' to stop this man Who's kickin' and punchin' and cussin' 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 To be found at the general how all free your fate 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 treaure 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 Im 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 Like that Like that Just like that Like that Just like that Just like that Just like that
