Juicy J
Uh huh, let's rage
I knew you were
You were gonna come to me
But you better choose carefully
'Cause I, I'm capable of anything
Of anything and everything
Make me your Aphrodite
Make me your one and only
But don't make me your enemy (enemy)
Your enemy (your enemy), your enemy
So you wanna play with magic?
Boy, you should know what you're fallin' for
Baby, do you dare to do this?
'Cause I'm coming at you like a dark horse (hey)
Are you ready for, ready for (hey)
A perfect storm, perfect storm? (Hey, hey)
'Cause once you're mine, once you're mine (hey, hey, hey, hey)
(There's no going back)
Mark my words
This love will make you levitate
Like a bird, like a bird without a cage
But down to earth
If you choose to walk away, don't walk away
It's in the palm of your hand now, baby
It's a yes or a no, no maybe
So just be sure before you give it all to me
All to me, give it all to me
So you wanna play with magic?
Boy, you should know what you're fallin' for
Baby, do you dare to do this?
'Cause I'm coming at you like a dark horse (hey)
Are you ready for, ready for (hey)
A perfect storm, perfect storm? (Hey, hey)
'Cause once you're mine, once you're mine (hey, hey, hey, hey)
Yup (Trippy)
(There's no going back)
Uh, she's a beast
I call her Karma (come back)
She eat your heart out like Jeffrey Dahmer (woo)
Be careful, try not to lead her on
Shawty heart is on steroids
'Cause her love is so strong
You might fall in love when you meet her (meet her)
If you get the chance, you better keep her (keep her)
She's sweet as pie, but if you break her heart

She can be my Sleeping Beauty
I'm gon' put her in a coma (woo)
Damn, I think I love her
Shawty so bad, I'm sprung and I don't care
She ride me like a roller coaster
Turn the bedroom into a fair (a fair)
Her love is like a drug

So you wanna play with magic?
Boy, you should know what you're fallin' for (you should know)
Baby, do you dare to do this?
'Cause I'm coming at you like a dark horse (like a dark horse)
Are you ready for, ready for (ready for)
A perfect storm, perfect storm? (A perfect storm)
'Cause once you're mine, once you're mine (oh)

Katy Perry's song Dark Horse is a commanding and almost seductive representation of the power and control that a woman can have in a relationship. The song starts by declaring that the singer, Katy Perry, knew from the start that the man would come to her. She warns him, however, that he should be careful because she is capable of anything, including being his Aphrodite or his one and only, or his enemy. The lyrics repeatedly state that once he is hers, there is no turning back. The chorus is a direct metaphor of a "dark horse" that comes unexpectedly, much like how Perry is described as coming at this man.
The lyrics of the song also include a rap verse by Juicy J, in which he sings about the transformative power of love. He refers to Perry as a "beast" and "Karma," and notes how her love is so strong that it is like being on steroids. He also sings about how her love is addictive and like a drug, that he was trying to hit it and quit it, but Perry ensnared him with her love.
Overall, the song is about the art of seduction and the all-consuming power of love, and how it can lead to an addictive, obsessive, and potentially dangerous relationship.
