[00:23.94]Someone right now is leaving their apartment
[00:25.90]Looking down at the street, wondering where there car went
[00:29.72]Someone in the car sitting at a signal
[00:31.47]In front of a restaurant, staring through the window at
[00:34.64]Someone right now with their finger in their teeth
[00:37.15]Who could use a little floss right across the street
[00:39.99]there's somebody on the curb who really needs a jacket
[00:42.61]Spent half the rent at a bar getting plastered
[00:44.90]Now he gotta walk fourteen blocks just to
[00:48.51]Work at a shop where he's about to get fired.
[00:50.69]Someone right now is looking pretty tired
[00:52.44]Staring at a laptop trying to get inspired
[00:55.28]Somebody living right across the street
[00:58.23]She wrote the best things she's written all week
[01:00.85]but her best friends coughing up blood in the sink
[01:03.47]He can't even think what happened, feeling so confused
[01:05.87]And he knows it looks bad but there's nothing he can do
[01:09.25]I wonder what it's like to be right there in his shoes
[01:11.66]Mike Chorus:
[01:12.21]But no I'm just taking it in
[01:14.61]Out the window of a hotel bedroom again
[01:16.24]Tomorrow I'll be gone I don't know when I'll be back
[01:19.96]But in this world everything can change just like that,
[01:21.58]Like that
[01:32.94]Ryu:
[01:33.16]Yo somebody right now is dropping his vote inside a box
[01:35.67]And trying not to get shot in his throat
[01:38.07]For the act of freedom right now somebody is stuck in Iraq
[01:41.46]Hoping that he gets shipped back breathing
[01:43.53]In a war that he's not really sure of the reasons
[01:45.93]So we show our support when the press mislead them
[01:49.10]Though we mourn remain proud and salute the troops
[01:51.40]Get some I know you boys got some work to do
[01:53.90]Tak:
[01:54.02]Meanwhile right now someone’s 25-to-lifing
[01:56.42]Standing on the corner with their thumb up hitchiking
[01:59.15]Scratching off a lotto ticket hoping for a real winner
[02:01.88]Sneaking through the border just to work and to eat a real dinner
[02:05.15]Right now someone wishes they were you and I
[02:07.34]Instead of second-guessing fatal thoughts of quiet suicide
[02:10.50]But right now I'm staring out the window at a fiend
[02:13.12]with holes in his arm and holes in his jeans
[02:15.75]he pulled out a cigarette sparked a light
[02:18.04]And walked right around the corner just outta my sight
[02:20.66]Tak Chorus:
[02:21.20]But yo I'm just taking it in
[02:23.39]From the second story hotel window again,
[02:25.68]The TV's on, and my bags are packed,
[02:28.30]But in this world everything can change just like that,
[02:31.03]Like that
[02:37.04]Black Thought:
[02:37.59]Ya right now somebody sitting in the darkness
[02:39.55]Trying to figure out how to put some heat in their apartment
[02:42.06]But they got a little mattress little carpet
[02:44.57]And they appreciate it 'cause some people on a park bench
[02:47.85]You see them when you rushing to get to the office
[02:50.36]Wife robbed blind when she coming from the market
[02:53.10]Right now somebody coming out from the pocket
[02:55.61]Trying to dump that rock they run around the block with
[02:58.55]Same time the cops is raising the block with aim
[03:01.29]To fill your legs and back with some hot shit
[03:03.79]Right now somebody struggling to stop this man
[03:06.09]Who's kick and punching and cussing at the doctors
[03:09.14]Down the hall a child taking his first breath
[03:11.23]The doctors ain't even passed him to the nurse yet yo
[03:14.49]I wonder if he understands what it's worth yet
[03:17.01]Like the time spent while we here on the earth yet
[03:19.63]The answers to the questions we all seek
[03:21.71]Can be found it depend on how free y'all think
[03:24.44]Right now it's somebody who ain't eat all week
[03:26.95]That would kill for the shit you throw away in the street
[03:30.12]I guess one man’s trash is the next man’s treasure
