Mike:
|
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 thru 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
|
But spent half the rent at a bar getting plastered
|
Now he's gotta walk / 14 blocks just to
|
Work at a shop where he's about to get fired
|
Someone right now / is looking pretty tired
|
Staring at a laptop / trying to get inspired as
|
Somebody / living right across the street
|
Just wrote the best thing that she's written all week
|
But her best friend is 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
|
Yo 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
|
Like that
|
|
Ryu:
|
Somebody right now is dropping his vote inside a
|
Box and trying to not get shot in his throat for the act of freedom
|
Right now / Somebody’s stuck in Iraq
|
Hoping that he gets shipped back breathing
|
In a war but he’s not really sure the reasons
|
So we show our support when the press mislead him
|
Though we mourn / remain proud / salute the troops
|
Get some / I know you boys got some work to do
|
|
Tak:
|
Meanwhile / right now someone’s 25-to-life-ing
|
Standing on a corner with their thumb up hitchhiking
|
Scratching off a lotto ticket hoping for a real winner
|
Sneaking through the border just to work and 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 I’m staring out 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 out of my sight
|
But
|
I'm just taking it in
|
From a second story hotel window again
|
The T.V.’s on and my bags are packed
|
But in this world everything can change just like that
|
Like that
|
|
Black Thought:
|
Yeah / right now somebody’s sittin' in the darkness
|
Tryin' to figure how to put some heat in they apartment but
|
They got a little mattress / 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 comin' from the market
|
Right now somebody comin' out the pocket
|
Tryin' to dump that rock / they runnin' round the block with
|
Same time the cops is raisin’ the glock
|
With aim to fill your legs and your back with some hot shit
|
Right now somebody’s struggling to stop this
|
Man that’s kicking and punching and cussing at the doctors
|
Down the hall a child is takin' its first breath
|
The doctors ain’t even passed him to the nurse yet / yo
|
I wonder if he understand what it’s worth yet
|
Life / the time spent 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 / it’s somebody who ain’t eat all week
|
That would kill / for the 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 taking 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
|
Like that
|
