Right Now

[Mike Shinoda] 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'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 Somebody living right across the street She wrote the best things she's written all week But her best friend's coughing up blood in the sink He can't even think what happened, feeling so confused That he knows it looks bad, but there's nothing he can do I wonder what's it like being right there in his shoes But.. [Hook] 1x (Mike Shinoda) Yo, I'm just taking it in Out the window of a hotel bedroom again Tomorrow I will be gone I don't know when I will be back But in this world everything can change just like that Like that, like that, like that that, like that, just like that [Ryu] Somebody right now is droppin' his vote Inside a box, and trying not to get shot in his throat For the act of freedom Right now somebody stuck in Iraq, hoping that he gets shipped back breathing In a war where he's not really sure of the reasons So we show our support when the press mislead him Though we mourn, remain proud and salute the troops Get some, I know you boys got some work to do [Tak] Meanwhile, right now someone's 25 to life And standing on the corner with their thumb up hitch hike And scratching of 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, staring out the window at a fiend With holes in his arms, 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.. [Hook] 2x (Ryu & Tak) Yo, I'm just taking it in From a second story hotel window again TV's on, and my bags are packed But in this world everything can change just like that Like that, like that, like that that, like that, just like that [Black Thought] Right now, somebody is sitting in the darkness Trying to figure out how to put some heat in their apartment But they got a little mattress, a little carpet And they appreciate it cause some people on a park bench You see them when you rushing to get to the office Wife fly by when she coming home from the market Right now somebody's coming out the pocket Trying to dump that rock, they run around the block with Same time the cops is raising their Glocks With aim to fill your legs and your back with some hot shit Right now somebody is 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 Yeah, yo, I wonder if he understand what it's worth yet Like time spent, while we're on the earth yea The answer to the question we all seek Can be found, it depends on how free ya'll 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 gotta get it together, man [Hook] (Black Thought) Uh, I'm just taking it in In an another strange hotel lobby again Put my luggage on my back, I don't know where I'm at I'm in the world where it all changes just like that Like that, like that, like that that, like that, just like that Yeah, I'm just taking it in Out the window of a hotel, better again Tomorrow I will be gone I don't know when I will be back But in this world everything can change just like that Like that, like that, like that that, like that, just like that
