right now
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
[01:55.34]But yo im just taking it in from the second story hotel window again,
[02:00.18]the TVs on, and my bags are packed,
[02 :02.39]but in this world everything can change just like that,
[02:04.77]like that, like that, like that,
Ya right now somebodys sittin in the darkness
trying to figure out how to put some heat in their apartment
but they got a little mattress a little carpet
and they appreciate it cause some people on a park bench
you see em when you rushing to get to the office wife ride by em
when she.in from the market right now somebody.in out the pocket
tryin to dump that rock they runnin around the block
with same time cops is raisin the glock with aim to fill your legs
and your back with some hot ****
right now somebodys strugglin to stop this man
thats kicking and punching cussing at the doctors down the hall
a child is takin his first breath
the doctors aint evenpassed him to the nurse
yet yo i wonder if he understand what its worth
yet like the time spent on while we hear on the earth
yet the answers to the questions we all seek can be found
it depend on how free yall think
right now its somebody who aint eat all week
that would kill for the **** you throw away in the street
i guess one mans trash is another mans treasure one mans pain
is the next mans 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 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
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....
