Still Breathin’ Lyrics
[RIFFS, spoken]
Yeah, right!
[MASAI, spoken]
You lucky you still alive
Ha ha
[MASAI]
Cyrus unified a city
In discrete pieces
Cyrus was the one and only
The street’s Jesus
Cyrus said, “You can’t survive alone
You need your team” and
Cyrus told these kids
“Wake up, and start dreamin'”
Some demon shot Cyrus
At 12:15 this evenin’
It falls to me to find the reason
The weapon, the heathen
Tryin’ to focus but we haven’t even
Had our grievin’
What do you do when they kill everything
You believe in, but you still breathin’?
Cyrus, we still breathin’
Cyrus, I’m sorry you dreamed of peace
But we still beefin’
I wish that I shared your dream of peace
But it’s killin’ season
Won’t stop until the treasonous
Villain’s deceased, bleedin’
Our only lead is leadin’
Us to the Warriors
Who are the Warriors?
Cleon, wake the fuck up and tell me what your story is
Watch what you say: may our savior forgive me
But it’s deicide, and we decide if you get to live, see?
[MASAI, spoken]
I know you can hear me
Cleon, you in a pickle
If I were you, I would start talking right now
[CLEON]
I’m not your Judas
I didn’t do this
I’d never do this
Cut me or kill me or riddle my body with bruises
That’s what the truth is
[MASAI]
So tell me the truth, miss
[CLEON]
The truth is
You have me confused with my accusers
I saw them shoot Miss Cyrus, it was a crew
And the shooter had a bandana, grey hoodie under a crude vest
[MASAI]
So why’d he say it was you then?
[CLEON]
‘Cause I saw what he was doin’!
I came here to be a part of what that motherfucker ruined!
We came to hear the truth and be moved, be in your movement
We came all the way from Coney to see the one and only do it!
[MASAI]
So where’s the rest of your crew, then?
[CLEON]
No fuckin’ idea, man
C’mon, let me be and set me free and let me see again
I’m the one who convinced ’em to come all the way uptown
Now I’m the one you got over a barrel with the barrel of a—
[MASAI]
Calm down
[CLEON]
Gun? Where is the gun?
If I am guilty then where is my gun?
You gonna kill me? Then have it be done
You know the Warriors still on the run
But who are we kiddin’?
If you knew I did it you wouldn’t be sittin’ here
Beatin’ up women
Ya losin’ momentum
But you let me live ‘n’
[CLEON & RIFFS]
You get him
[CLEON & MASAI]
So if you would listen a minute ah…
[MASAI]
What do you do when they kill everything you believe in?
[CLEON]
I can ID him
[MASAI]
What do you do when they kill everything you believe in?
[CLEON]
Does the dream end?
I’m a help you find the one who killed her
We can still go and rebuild the world until
We reach the peace Cyrus was seekin’!
What do you do when they kill everything you believe in?
You lean in
What do you do when they kill everything you believe in?
Give it meanin’
What do you do when they kill everything you believe in?
You grieve ‘n’ you keep breathin’
You keep believin’
[MASAI, spoken]
Cut her free
Come with me
