[00:14.52] |
Someone right now is leaving their apartment |
[00:16.60] |
Looking down at the street, wondering where there car went |
[00:19.19] |
Someone in the car sitting at a signal |
[00:21.43] |
In front of a restaraunt, staring through the window |
[00:23.95] |
at someone right now with their finger in their teeth |
[00:26.24] |
Who could use a little floss right across the street |
[00:28.52] |
there's somebody on the curb who really needs a jacket |
[00:30.87] |
spent half the rent at a bar getting plastered |
[00:33.24] |
Now he gotta walk fourteen blocks |
[00:35.69] |
to work at a shop where he's about to get fired. |
[00:38.13] |
Someone right now is looking pretty tired |
[00:40.55] |
Staring at a laptop trying to get inspired |
[00:42.94] |
Somebody living right across the street |
[00:45.61] |
She wrote the best things she's written all week |
[00:47.89] |
but her best friends coughing up blood in the sink |
[00:50.18] |
Can't even think what happened, feeling so confused |
[00:52.56] |
And he knows it looks bad but there's nothing he can do |
[00:55.04] |
I wonder what it's like to be right there in his shoes |
[00:57.43] |
But no I'm just taking it in |
[00:59.77] |
Out the window of a hotel bedroom again |
[01:02.20] |
Tommorrow I'll be gone I don't know when I'll be back |
[01:04.39] |
But in this world everything can change just like that, |
[01:06.79] |
Like that |
[01:12.37] |
Yo somebody right now is dropping his vote inside a box |
[01:14.70] |
And trying not to get shot in his throat |
[01:16.52] |
For the act of freedom right now somebody is stuck in Iraq |
[01:19.16] |
Hoping that he gets shipped back breathing |
[01:21.35] |
in a war that he's not really sure of the reasons |
[01:23.68] |
So we show our support when the press mislead them |
[01:26.13] |
Though we more then remain proud and salute the troops |
[01:28.31] |
get some I know you boys got some work to do |
[01:30.70] |
Meanwhile right now someones 25 to life |
[01:33.13] |
And is standing on the corner with their thumb up hitchiking |
[01:35.51] |
Stretching off a lotto ticket hoping for a real winner |
[01:38.06] |
Sneaking through the border just to work and to eat a real dinner |
[01:40.44] |
Right now someone wishes they were you and I |
[01:42.82] |
instead of second guessing freedom thoughts of quiet suicide |
[01:45.12] |
But right now I'm staring at the window at a frame |
[01:47.50] |
with holes in his arm and holes in his jeans |
[01:49.89] |
he pulled out his cigarette sparked the light |
[01:52.22] |
And walked right around the corner just outta my sight |
[01:54.50] |
But yo I'm just taking it in |
[01:56.89] |
From the second story hotel window again, |
[01:59.37] |
The TV's on, and my bags are packed, |
[02:01.86] |
But in this world everything can change just like that, |
[02:04.20] |
Like that |
[02:09.30] |
yo I'm just taking it in |
[02:11.48] |
From the second story hotel window again, |
[02:14.07] |
The TV's on, and my bags are packed, |
[02:16.40] |
But in this world everything can change just like that, |
[02:23.78] |
Ya right now somebody sitting in the darkness |
[02:26.27] |
Trying to figure out how to put some heat in their apartment |
[02:28.50] |
But they got a little mattress and a little carpet |
[02:31.08] |
And they appreciate it 'cause some people on a park bench |
[02:33.38] |
You see them when you rushing to get to the office |
[02:35.66] |
wife robbed blind when she coming from the market |
[02:38.05] |
Right now somebody coming out from the pocket |
[02:40.43] |
Trying to dump that rock they run around the block with at |
[02:42.98] |
The same time the cops is raising the glock with aim |
[02:45.52] |
To fill your legs and back with some hot shit |
[02:47.80] |
Right now somebody struggling to stop this man |
[02:50.18] |
Who's kick and punching and cussing at the doctors |
[02:52.57] |
Down the hall the child taking his first breath |
[02:54.91] |
The doctors ain't even passed him to the nurse yet yo |
[02:57.50] |
I wonder if he understands what it's worth yet |
[02:59.74] |
Like the time spent while we here on the earth yet |
[03:02.07] |
The answer to the question that we all seek |
[03:04.10] |
can be found depend on how free y'all think |
[03:06.54] |
Right now it's somebody who ain't eat all week |
[03:08.97] |
That would kill for the shit that you throw away in the street |
[03:11.76] |
I guess one man's trash is the next man's treasure |
[03:13.88] |
One mans pain is the next mans pleasure |
[03:16.27] |
one say infinity the next say forever |
[03:18.61] |
right now everybody got to get it together man |
[03:20.95] |
I'm just taking it in another strange hotel lobby again |
[03:25.48] |
Put my luggage on my back I don't know where I'm at |
[03:27.98] |
I'm in world where we all change just like that, |
[03:30.25] |
Like that, like that, just like that, like that, just like that |
[03:35.01] |
Just like that, Just like that |
[03:35.85] |
yo I'm just taking it in |
[03:38.07] |
Out the window of a hotel bedroom again |
[03:40.41] |
Tomorrow I’ll be gone / I don’t know when I’ll be back |
[03:42.83] |
But in this world everything can change just like that |
[03:45.26] |
Like that |
