Some of us, we're hardly ever here

The rest of us, we're born to disappear

How do I stop myself from being just a number?

How will I hold my head to keep from going under?



Down to the wire, I wanted water

But I walk through the fire

If this is what it takes to take me even higher

And I'll come through like I do

When the world keeps testing me, testing me, testing me



How did they find me here? What do they want from me?

All of this vultures hiding right outside my door

I hear them whispering, they're trying to ride it out

They've never gone this long without a kill before



Down to the wire, I wanted water

But I walk through the fire

If this is what it takes to take me even higher

And I'll come through like I do

When the world keeps testing me, testing me, testing me



Wheel's up, I got to leave this evening

I can't seem to shake these vultures off of my trail

Power is made by power being taken

So I keep on running to protect my situation



Down to the wire, I wanted water

But I walk through the fire

If this is what it takes to take me even higher

And I'll come through like I do

When the world keeps testing me, testing me, testing me



What you gonna do about it?

What you gonna do about it?

What you gonna do about it?



Don't give up, give up

Don't give up, give up, give up

Don't give up, give up

Don't give up, give up, give up
