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

But I'll walk through the fire

If this is what it takes

To take me even higher

Then 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 these vultures hiding

Right outside my door

I hear them whisperin

They're tryin to ride it out

Cause they've never gone this long

Without a kill before

Down to the wire

I wanted water but

I'll walk through the fire

If this is what it takes

To take me even higher

Then I'll come through

Like I do

When the world keeps

Testing me, testing me, testing me

Wheels up

I got to leave this evening

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'll walk through the fire

If this is what it takes

To take me even higher

Then I'll come through

Like I do

When the world keeps

Testing me, testing me

Oooooooooooo

Oooooooooooo

Oooooooooooo

Oooooooooooo

Whatcha gonna do about it

Whatcha gonna do about it
