Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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?
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
How did they find me here
What do they want from me
All of these vultures hiding right outside my door
I hear them whispering
And they're trying to ride it out
'Cause they've never gone this long without a kill before
[Verse 4]
Now I'm 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, testing me
[Verse 5]
Wheels up
I got to leave this evening
I can't seem to shake these vultures off of my trail
'Cause power is made by pure manipulation
'Cause we keep on runnin' to protect our situation
[Verse 6]
Now I'm 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 don't
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me now
[Verse 7]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
[Verse 8]
Don't give up, give up
Don't give up, give up
Don't give up, give up
Don't give up, give up, give up
No, don't you never
