Lotus-Shaped Heart

[Intro]
(Opal Banks)
OG Barbie
Left hand up
White Lotus
[Verse 1]
Used to hide in the hallway
Voice soft like a side note
Now she sign her name sideways
Lotus in the center of her coat
Petals on her chest where the scars at
Whole past written in the carfax
Mama Felon had to carve past bars
Turn a mugshot into star maps
Keem pulled her out the dark lane
Reapers circlin’ round like a car chase
He said, “Little sis, you a landmark
You ain’t dead weight, you the whole safe”
Corey hit her with the warm frame
Arms wide, said, “You can storm here”
So she stitched every goodbye
Into gold thread woven in her war gear
[Chorus]
Opal Banks, lotus-shaped heart
Came from crumbs, now she carved in the arc
OG Barbie with the left-hand mark
White Lotus gang, she don’t move in the dark
Opal Banks, lotus-shaped heart
Bloom out the bruise, turn a tear into art
Mama Felon blood, yeah, it made her sharp
White Lotus gang, put her name on the chart (Opal)
[Verse 2]
Pink nails on a closed fist
Laugh soft but the aim strict
Pray quiet, but the halo
Tilted like a side-script
Left hand holdin’ that faith line
Right hand holdin’ that baseline
They tried to make her a grave sign
She flipped it, now it’s a gang sign
Reapers still lurk on the back road
She walk straight, heavy backbone
Turned every lock on a bad home
Into tattoos under that black chrome
Keem in the cut like “Say less”
Corey in the cut like “Stay blessed”
Family ain’t blood, it’s who break bread
When your whole world lean toward faceless
[Chorus]
Opal Banks, lotus-shaped heart
Came from crumbs, now she carved in the arc
OG Barbie with the left-hand mark
White Lotus gang, she don’t move in the dark
Opal Banks, lotus-shaped heart
Bloom out the bruise, turn a tear into art
Mama Felon blood, yeah, it made her sharp
White Lotus gang, put her name on the chart
[Bridge]
Left hand up for the bruised kids (hey)
Right hand up for the true kin
Turn pain into petals on a new skin
Every scar on her soul got a use in
This life, this fight, this march
She was meek, now she speak, hit hard
From the cell to the spell that she cast on the yard
She the heart, she the heart, lotus-shaped heart
[Chorus]
Opal Banks, lotus-shaped heart
Came from crumbs, now she carved in the arc
OG Barbie with the left-hand mark
White Lotus gang, she don’t move in the dark
Opal Banks, lotus-shaped heart
Bloom out the bruise, turn a tear into art
Mama Felon blood, yeah, it made her sharp
White Lotus gang, put her name on the chart (Opal)

rap, Dark, swaggering rap over eerie melodic trap textures; midtempo bounce with detuned bells and warped vocal chops. Verses ride a sparse, sub-heavy groove that leaves room for intricate syllables; hook opens up with stacked female vocals chanting the title, plus haunting hums. Occasional glitchy drops and filtered drums highlight key punchlines; male vocals feature on an optional guest bridge.
