FOUND — NOT BROKEN (Eminem-Style)
Adorno Music
Intro (quiet, almost whispered)
Yeah…
I don’t talk about this much
But if I don’t say it now, it’ll eat me alive
⸻
Verse 1 (slow build, sharp syllables)
I learned how to smile while my insides collapsed
How to carry the load, never ask for a hand
How to plan every move but still feel like a mess
How to drown in success and call it progress
I was praised for my grind but dying inside
Productivity masking the hurt I would hide
I was doing “the most,” yeah applauded for that
But nobody noticed the cracks in the mask
I was tired of leading, tired of fixing the room
Tired of being the strong one with nothing to lose
Tired of praying polite, I was screaming at God
Like “If You’re real, why You silent when everything’s wrong?”
⸻
Pre-Hook (tight, internal rhymes)
I been pacing the floor with my thoughts on trial
Every failure replayed like a hostile file
Trying to earn what was given, fighting grace
Till mercy met me dead in my face
⸻
Hook (melodic but dark)
I was lost in my head, in my pain, in my doubt
Found by grace when I couldn’t find a way out
Still scarred, still healing, still open
But I’m found… not broken
I was chained to the past, to the weight I was holding
God spoke when my faith was eroding
If you hear this, just know this
I’m found… not broken
⸻
Verse 2 (faster, aggressive Eminem cadence)
I been bleeding in silence, applauded in public
If suffering paid, I’d be rich off the budget
I learned how to function while mentally wrecked
Smiling in daylight, fighting demons at rest
I gave time I didn’t have, love I didn’t receive
Built futures for others, forgot how to breathe
Every “yes” was a no to the man in the mirror
Till my spirit got tired of screaming “I’m here!”
I tried fixing myself with achievement and noise
Till God stripped it all and said “Son, just be still”
I thought rest was lazy, peace was weak
Till He showed me surrender ain’t losing—it’s free
⸻
Hook (repeat, heavier)
I was lost in my head, in my pain, in my doubt
Found by grace when I couldn’t find a way out
Still scarred, still healing, still open
But I’m found… not broken
I was chained to the past, to the weight I was holding
God spoke when my faith was eroding
If you hear this, just know this
I’m found… not broken
⸻
Bridge (half-time, emotional)
I’m not proud of the nights I wanted to quit
I’m not proud of the walls I built brick by brick
But I’m grateful for grace that stayed when I ran
That loved me as broken before I was a man
⸻
Verse 3 (redemptive, controlled rage)
Now I walk with intention, no mask, no disguise
I don’t need to be perfect, I’m done with the lie
Still battling thoughts but I’m armed with the truth
That I don’t need approval to prove what I’m worth
Every scar tells a story, every tear had a cost
But I found who I am when I gave Him control
I don’t rap for attention, I rap to survive
If my voice gives hope, then my pain multiplies
Outro (spoken, fading)
I didn’t lose myself
I found Him
