Lyrics for Vultures

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 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 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 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 Whatcha gonna do about it? Whatcha gonna do about it? Whatcha gonna do about it? Don't give up, give up Don't give up, give up, give up Don't give up, give up Don't give up, give up, give up
