[Verse 1]
Some of us, we're hardly ever here
The rest of us were born to disappear
How do I stop myself from being just a number?
How will I hold my head to keep from going under, under?
[Chorus]
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 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Wheels up, I've got to leave this evening
I can't seem to shake these vultures off of my trail
'Cause power is made by pure manipulation
We keep on running to protect our situation
[Chorus]
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 now
[Outro]
Ooh, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh
Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh
Ooh, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, yeah
Hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, ooh
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 let
[Instrumental Outro]
