Dark Lotus made its debut with the single "Echo Side", which was later released on Insane Clown Posse's 1999 album The Amazing Jeckel Brothers. It was later announced that each member "would act as a 'petal' of the lotus," and that there would be six members. After speculation as to who the sixth member would be, including rumors that Esham would join the group, it was announced that Marz would be a member.
Dark Lotus released their first album, Tales from the Lotus Pod, in 2001. Mike E. Clark was brought in to produce the album, but left the project after producing four songs, and Fritz the Cat produced the rest of the album. The album peaked at #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart, #6 on the Top Independent Albums chart, and #158 on the Billboard 200. Marz left the group, and was replaced by James Lowery. In 2002, Tales from the Lotus Pod was reissued in a new version removing Marz' vocals. On April 6, 2004, Dark Lotus released their second studio album, Black Rain. It peaked at #3 on the Top Independent Albums chart, and at #71 on the Billboard 200.
Lowery left the group, and a third album, The Opaque Brotherhood, was released without him. It peaked at #4 on the Top Independent Albums chart, #23 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, #45 on the Top Internet Albums chart, and #45 on the Billboard 200.[4] Allrovi reviewer Stewart Mason praised the album, writing "Nothing on The Opaque Brotherhood will convince anyone who isn't already a fan, but the tormented lyrics and matter-of-fact delivery remove a layer or two of distance and artifice from the band's familiar themes, and make them that much more disturbing as a result.".
She Was
Dark Lotus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Woo hoo
You shoulda seen her
Man, her fid in my hand heavy sweatin' like a fever
The way she cut through flesh, she was beautiful
Her grace and finess had my love incurable
Little red beady marks trickle down her closed eyes
Whenever there's static she'll make it all right
Hand on my bidness
Until that day
The court provided a witness
[Anybody Killa]
She was like the moon
The stars, the rain, the heat from the sun
Any fucking thing you could imagine
I was so upset when her ass left
I hunted her down at put three in her chest
Wrapped the body up put her in the ride and drove it home
To find a resting place so her soul can roam
What kinda girl could make a man just crack
The bitch really has to be all that
She was
[Chorus]
She was something I'll never forget
I don't really miss her though
Now she's gone and never coming back
She was
She was something I'll never forget
I don't really miss her though
Now she's gone and never coming back
[Violent J]
Blind date, she was alive when I got there
Dead when I left
I shut her throat down, squeezed all the air out her neck
She fought back, scared with a deep fear in her eyes
Until they rolled into the back of her head and she died
I gripped her by the ears slamming her skull off the floor
Till they ripped right off her head, I bolted for the door
Started to cry I forgot to kiss her goodbye
I turn around to go back in and keep reliving the lie
She loves me
[Jamie Madrox]
She's like a ride on a roller coaster
Filled with many ups and downs
And did everything just to get closer
To her, but she pushed me away
Fat kids are used to rejection
We deal with that shit everyday
Something about her made me press the issue
My friends told me to leave it alone, she'll only diss you
She did, but I was ready for that
Pulled my axe outta my book bag and I put it in her back
[Chorus]
She was something I'll never forget
I don't really miss her though
Now she's gone and never coming back
She was
She was something I'll never forget
I don't really miss her though
Now she's gone and never coming back
[Blaze Ya Dead Homie]
She was a brown complexion with a touch of German blood
Like the sweetest purple cooch to ever surface in the hood
I kept her on my bed
And at my side at all times
She was known for having grown men wanting her crime
High temepered and high strung
But at least she get the job done
And bust off a couple straight shots just for fun
Till that faithfull night
The pigs busted in my residence
And took my bitch and fucked her as some murder evidence
She innocent
[Monoxide Child]
She's outta her mind
It was like the second coming of Satan watching me from behind
She's been stalking me for weeks and weeks
She keeps calling me and hanging up as soon as I speak
What a freak show
Leaving me little clues
But nothin' coulda prepared me for her hanging in my living room
With a note and a rope around her neck
And it read, "My love will never die for you, even when I'm dead"
Why would this girl that I love
Carry me to murder
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me something or die
Why would this girl that I love
Make me have to be this way
Does she like me this way (x3)
[Violent J]
Now the sign tell me that I got 45 years
I'll get out in 30
If I'm good
If I have a good time
I'll be out in 30 years
I don't regret this baby
I'm glad I did what I did
Cause I love you and I don't regret doin' what I did
30 years, I can give 30 years for you

Woo hoo
I'm excited to talk about this girl
You shoulda seen her
Man, her fid in my hand heavy sweatin' like a fever
She was so hot and I was aroused when I handled her
The way she cut through flesh, she was beautiful
She was a sharp weapon and I found her beauty in that
Her grace and finess had my love incurable
Her elegance and skill with killing made me obsessed with her
Little red beady marks trickle down her closed eyes
Whenever there's static she'll make it all right
I killed her and now she's dead, but she made me feel secure when I was alive
She was there, never saw me out
Hand on my bidness
Until that day
The court provided a witness
I was using her for illegal activities and she was never caught until the day someone testified against me
She was like the moon
The stars, the rain, the heat from the sun
Any fucking thing you could imagine
I was so upset when her ass left
I hunted her down at put three in her chest
Wrapped the body up put her in the ride and drove it home
To find a resting place so her soul can roam
What kinda girl could make a man just crack
The bitch really has to be all that
She was
She was everything I ever wanted but when she left me I killed her and hid her body
Blind date, she was alive when I got there
Dead when I left
I shut her throat down, squeezed all the air out her neck
She fought back, scared with a deep fear in her eyes
Until they rolled into the back of her head and she died
I gripped her by the ears slamming her skull off the floor
Till they ripped right off her head, I bolted for the door
Started to cry I forgot to kiss her goodbye
I turn around to go back in and keep reliving the lie
She loves me
I killed a girl I went on a date with because I thought she loved me but really it was just in my head
She's like a ride on a roller coaster
Filled with many ups and downs
And did everything just to get closer
To her, but she pushed me away
Fat kids are used to rejection
We deal with that shit everyday
Something about her made me press the issue
My friends told me to leave it alone, she'll only diss you
She did, but I was ready for that
Pulled my axe outta my book bag and I put it in her back
I was in love with a girl who rejected me and when she rejected me again I killed her with an axe
She was a brown complexion with a touch of German blood
Like the sweetest purple cooch to ever surface in the hood
I kept her on my bed
And at my side at all times
She was known for having grown men wanting her crime
High temepered and high strung
But at least she get the job done
And bust off a couple straight shots just for fun
Till that faithfull night
The pigs busted in my residence
And took my bitch and fucked her as some murder evidence
She innocent
I loved this gun and kept it with me often, but when the police took it for evidence it got abused
She's outta her mind
It was like the second coming of Satan watching me from behind
She's been stalking me for weeks and weeks
She keeps calling me and hanging up as soon as I speak
What a freak show
Leaving me little clues
But nothin' coulda prepared me for her hanging in my living room

She was obsessed with me and stalked me until she killed herself in my home, leaving behind a note professing her love
Now the sign tell me that I got 45 years
I'll get out in 30
If I'm good
If I have a good time
I'll be out in 30 years
I don't regret this baby
I'm glad I did what I did
Cause I love you and I don't regret doin' what I did
30 years, I can give 30 years for you
I went to jail for what I did to her, but I don't regret killing her because I loved her and would go to jail for her again

I looked up dark lotus on Wikipedia and watched them play their new stuff, it's okay but it still doesn't hold a candle to classic lotus though.
maxwell rider
+Timberwolvesfan 84 what are you talking about, they performed at the 2015 gathering of juggalos, as the dark lotus. Even though blaze, and twiztid left psychopathic they still have dark lotus to go to as homage. a least to my knowledge.
Ryan Lorentz
