Single: MUDPIE
Artist: Lotus
Label: Songs To Live And Die By, Dahlhouse Entertainment
Release Date: August 13th, 2017

Written by: Sarojini "Lotus" Lui
Produced by: FancyN, inZane
Length: 4:26
MUDPIE is a single by Chinese-American rapper Sarojini "Lotus" Lui with guest vocals from Stephanie Fierce. Produced by Nina "Rum" Tarantino, under the producing name, FancyN, the Horrorcore track was written all by Lotus herself. It was released August 13th, 2017 and was made available to download digitally globally on the same day. The track is planned to premiere on urban radio, serving as the lead radio single to Lotus' sophomore album, also titled MUDPIE, after releasing Venus Fly Trap, a lead single that was too graphic for radio.
The song follows up Venus Fly Trap with just as much passion and the same sinister vibe. While the previous single was about revenge for Lotus' friend, this single is about Lotus avenging her past self who wasn't as strong as she is now. The lotus flower blooms in mud and Lotus uses the phenomenon as a metaphor for her come up in life. She goes on to further explain the meaning of the phrase "MUDPIE" in an earlier Sway in the Morning interview, saying, "I'm doing it for all of my MUDPIEs out there, for everyone buried in the negativity of their surroundings and the people that surround them. I do this for everyone forced to overcome and... bloom, if you will, in the worst of conditions."
Musically, MUDPIE has been described as brooding and disturbing song, the production posing as one of Rock's and Hip Hop's greatest fusion in recent years. The song begins with an ominous, distorted vocal roar, sung by Stephanie Fierce. She growls through the distortion, declaring "Storms'a coming", which sets up the dark atmosphere of the track. The intro of the song is followed by a brief verse by Lotus, serving as a warm up almost as she prepares to entirely rip the beat apart with 2 ferocious verses and a showstopping hook.
(OOC: Imagine this song without the trash Jay Z verse)

Stephanie Fierce
How do you get that back?
The power you once held
Taste the wind before you set sail
Baby, storms'a coming
Only bitch in Shanghai rocking princess cut designs
But I can't fit the shoe unless it's Wang size
Walk with a vengeance, that Grown Woman stride
I walk with a vengeance, that Grown Woman stride
Problem, problem
I'm a fucking problem
Once you get me going, there ain't no stopping
Bury me alive, I only rise to the top, man
Bury me alive, I only rise to the top, man
Problem, problem
Do we got a problem?
Once you get me going, there ain't no stopping
Bury me alive, I only rise to the top, man
Bury me alive, I only rise to the top, man
Rise amongst the dead with stease, I do this shit in my sleep
Just when you thought you'd seen the last of me, I take over the scene
I count all my losses and reclaim them, Maxine
I count all my losses and reclaim them, Maxine
I haven't deemed you worthy, no need to worry
You're out of your league but I'm full of mercy
Throwing shots subtly, I know you can't take the heat
You are what you eat, I don't feed off the weak
Used to see you bitches as a threat, dumbest shit I've done yet
I kick my feet up knowing I got you upset
Just like when I hit shuffle, I don't care who's next
These girlies either gonna bend a knee or lose a neck
You're looking at the best, you're listening to the baddest
I redirect my madness, get behind the mic and take action
Still float with a full figure, sting like a cactus
Won't forget the days I ran the grams, no caption
Down with the ship(ment) like a captain, Sparrow
I aim for what I want, get in the way and catch ammo
Light The Garden like a candle, Smokey in the lambo
Box it like my feelings, always got a handle
Uh, this gutter bitch will gut a bitch
Turned a soft kid solid, the world's greatest magic trick
Ain't no magic, bitch, this is what manifests when you put your soul in
I love being the only bitch who can put her money where her pie hole is
You birds got jokes, you birds gotta be trolling
You birds out here spewing more hocus pocus than the POTUS
You stall with all this talk because you can't pull up on Lotus
You stall with all this talk because you can't pull up on Lotus
Problem, problem
I'm a fucking problem
Once you get me going, there ain't no stopping
Bury me alive, I only rise to the top, man
Bury me alive, I only rise to the top, man
Problem, problem
Do we got a problem?
Once you get me going, there ain't no stopping
Bury me alive, I only rise to the top, man
Bury me alive, I only rise to the top, man
Game full of envy, that energy fills me like calamari
I can feel them plotting, no one's stepped to harm me
Used to get hunted in the jungle, now I'm on a killing spree in the safari
Stone cold bitch collecting heads in this Versace
If I was you, I wouldn't like me either
I'm the big kid that crashed the egg hunt on Easter
It's like taking candy from a baby when you've lived a hard knock life
You gotta take what you want or get pacified
I take what I want, far as I'm concerned, it's mine
I fuck with who they won't, me, myself and I
Talking out your septiceye gon' get you hit with a septic tank
Used to dream of rushing the bank
Nowadays, counting my money take so long, I gotta rush the bank
Mama never gotta work another day, she thinks it's time I quit the game
Asked me, "Lotus, what you need the world for?" Um, a rainy day
A reigning saint, this shit goes how I say
Fuck what you say, loose tongues lose tongues, I think it's best you save it
This song is worth ten times your savings, save it
To the women signing my check, you bitches doing AMAZING, it's heinous
A bitch backed by bad bitches is dangerouuuuus
No wonder why they wanna play like I don't run the game, we got em anxious!
Ima let you in on a secret they won't realize until time's recapping
You don't need a number one when you're the only one actually rapping
I'm actually laughing, bitches claim hip hop but let pop fans actually gas them
Factually pass them, broke my back breaking records
My records don't need to sound generated and packaged
They think I'm the threat but they're being contractually savaged
They think I'm the threat but they're being contractually savaged
Pockets on, "never going hungry" but I'm craving for one of y'all to say my name
Attitude on, "bitch, step to me" but the inner peace got my spirit on, "Namaste..."
Yu ain't never struggled in your life
You don't have not one say
(Victory!)
How do you chill after a taste?
Problem, problem
I'm a fucking problem
Once you get me going, there ain't no stopping
Bury me alive, I only rise to the top, man
Bury me alive, I only rise to the top, man
Problem, problem
Do we got a problem?
Once you get me going, there ain't no stopping
Bury me alive, I only rise to the top, man
Bury me alive, I only rise to the top, man
