Right Now Lyrics - The Rising Tied - Fort Minor

Someone right now is leaving their apartment 

Looking down at the street and wondering where their 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 

There's somebody on the curb who really needs a jacket 

Spent half the rent at a bar getting plastered 

Now he gotta walk fourteen blocks 

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 

Somebody living right across the street 

She wrote the best things she's written all week 

But her best friends coughing 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 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, 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 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 standing on the corner with their thumb up hitchiking 

Scratching off a lotto ticket hoping for a real winner 

Sneaking through the border just to work and to eat a real dinner 

Right now someone wishes they were you were not 

Instead of second guessing freedom thoughts of quiet suicide 

But right now I'm staring at the window at a frame 

With holes in his arm and holes in his jeans 

He pulled out his ciggerette sparked the light 

And walked right around the corner just outta my sight 

But yo I'm 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 

But yo I'm 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 

Ya, right now somebody's sitting in the darkness 

Trying to figure out how to put some heat in their apartment 

But they got no mattress 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 robbed blind when she coming from the market 

Right now somebody coming out from the pocket 

Trying to dump that rock they run around the block with 

The same time the cops is raising the glock with aim 

To fill your legs and back with some hot shit 

Right now somebody struggling to stop this man 

Who's kicking and punching and cussing 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 

Can be found depend on how free y'all think 

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 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 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 

Yeah, 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, like that, yeah
