Fort Minor

Someone right now is leaving their apartment
Looking down at the street and wondering where their car went
Someone in a car is 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 fourteen 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
And somebody living right across the street
Just wrote the best thing that 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
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...
Yo, 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...
Yo, somebody right now is dropping his vote
Inside a box and trying to not get shot in his throat
For the act of freedom, right now somebody's 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 all remain proud, salute the troops
Get some, I know you boys got some work to do
Meanwhile, right now someone's 25-to-life
And they're standing on a corner with their thumb up hitchhiking
Scratching off a Lotto ticket hoping for a real winner
Sneaking through the border just to work and eat a real dinner
But 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 arm and holes in his jeans
He pulled out a cigarette and sparked a light
And walked right around a corner just out of my sight but...
Yo, I'm just taking it in
