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 but he's not really sure of 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
Meanwhile, right now someone's 25 to-life-ing
Stading on a corner with their thumb up hitchiking
Stratching 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 and I
Instead of second-guessing freedom thoughts of quiet suicide
But right now I'm 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 out of 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)
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)
Yeah
Right now somebody's sittin' in the darkness
Tryin' to figure out how to put some heat in their apartment but
They got a little matress, 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 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 that 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 that you throw away in the street
I guess one man's trash is the next mans treaure,
One man's pain is the next mans 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 we all change just
like that
(Like that)
Yo, I'm just taking it in
Out the window of a hotel bedroom again
Tommorrow 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)
