Still Breathin'

Yeah, right!
You lucky you still alive

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?

I know you can hear me
Cleon, you in a pickle
If I were you, I would start talking right now

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

So tell me the truth, miss

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

So why'd he say it was you then?

'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!

So where's the rest of your crew, then?

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-

Calm down

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 and
You get him
So if you would listen a minute ah

What do you do when they kill everything you believe in?
I can I.D. him
What do you do when they kill everything you believe in?
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 and you keep breathin'
You keep believin'

Cut her free
Come with me
