Bilingual
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 goin' 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
Then I'll come through like I do
When the world keeps testin' me
Testin' me, Testin' me...
ย
How did they find me?
And what do they want from me?
All of these vultures
Hidin' 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 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 testin' me
Testin' me, Testin' me...
ย
Wheels up, I got to leave this evenin'
Can't seem to shake these vultures
Off of my trail
Power is made by power bein' taken
So I keep on runnin'
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
Then I'll come through like I do
When the world keeps testin' me
Testin' me, Testin' me...
Whatcha gonna do 'bout it?
Whatcha gonna do 'bout it?
Whatcha gonna do 'bout it?
