Should I Wait?

Body v2

WEED

[Verse 1]
Rent's late again, I'm dodging calls
The world’s on fire, and we’re all just tryna stall
Scrolling through the news like it’s a horror show
But I still get up, even when I move slow

[Pre-Chorus]

They say “keep your head high,” but my neck hurts
From all the weight I carry in this sweatshirt
Dreams feel like bills I can’t afford
But I hold on — yeah, I hold on

[Chorus]

I’m still standing, cracked but breathing
Life keeps swinging, but I ain’t leaving
Tired eyes, heavy heart
Still I find a way to restart
Might be bruised, might be breaking
But I’m here and that’s worth saying

[Verse 2]
Tried therapy, tried faith, tried late-night walks
Trying to outrun the silence when my mind talks
Everyone’s smiling, but no one’s fine
We’re all just dancing through the warning signs

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Another coffee just to fake awake
Another prayer I half believe I’ll make
But hope’s a stubborn little flame
And somehow, it still remains

[Chorus]

I’m still standing, cracked but breathing
Life keeps swinging, but I ain’t leaving
Tired eyes, heavy heart
Still I find a way to restart
Might be bruised, might be breaking
But I’m here — and that’s worth saying

[Bridge]

We wear masks, not the kind from the news
But the kind we smile through, so we don’t lose
Each other — ‘cause we’re all just trying to cope
Gripping tight to any thread of hope

[Final Chorus]

I’m still standing, don’t know how
But I’m here, I’m breathing now
Every scar, a part of me
Proof that I’m still fighting to be free
Yeah, I’m cracked, but I’m not broken
Every breath, a quiet token
Of the strength I didn’t know I had

I'm Still Standing

This is an edit from "The Number of the Beast" by Zwan from the SPUN O.S.T. which in turn is an Iron Maiden cover. I´ve been sitting on this edit for like 5 years. Right around the time when I got into downtempo music. Maybe someone can use it as their intro track for their DJ set :)

I am not Bally Sagoo or Anu Malik, I am simply MusicByYounus, exploring new sounds through modern collaboration.

This track was written, arranged, and produced as a partnership between my own creative vision and contemporary Al tools (including those for music generation, lyric writing, and translation assistance).

The climb continues — determination and resilience, rising stronger than before.

Hey! I am Hotline Bikadi, a music producer and live act from Berlin.

I create trippy mid-tempo music with groovy basslines, hypnotic melodies, and shuffled beats, wrapped in a bubbling psychedelic soundscape.

Currently looking for gigs.
