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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 
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 [bad word] 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
