Dark Horse
Juicy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I knew you were
You were gonna come to me
And here you are
But you better choose carefully
'Cause 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, your enemy, your enemy

So you wanna play with magic
Boy, you should know whatcha falling for
Baby do you dare to do this
'Cause I'm coming atcha like a dark horse

Are you ready for, ready for
A perfect storm, a perfect storm
'Cause once you're mine, once you're mine
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 no, no maybe
So just be sure before you give it up to me
Up to me, give it up to me

So you wanna play with magic
Boy, you should know whatcha falling for
Baby do you dare to do this
'Cause I'm coming atcha like a dark horse
Are you ready for, ready for
A perfect storm, a perfect storm
'Cause once you're mine, once you're mine
There's no going back

She's a beast
I call her Karma
She eat your heart out
Like Jeffrey Dahmer
Be careful
Try not to lead her on
Shawty's heart was on steroids
'Cause her love was so strong

You may fall in love
When you meet her
If you get the chance you better keep her
She swears by it but if you break her heart
She turn cold as a freezer
That fairy tale ending with a knight in shining armor
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 got me like a roller coaster
Turn the bedroom into a fair
Her love is like a drug
I was tryna hit it and quit it
But lil' mama so dope
I messed around and got addicted

So you wanna play with magic
Boy, you should know whatcha falling for
Baby do you dare to do this
'Cause I'm coming atcha like a dark horse
Are you ready for, ready for
A perfect storm, a perfect storm




'Cause once you're mine, once you're mine
There's no going back

Overall Meaning

In the song "Dark Horse," Juicy J sings about a woman who has alluring qualities and warns the listener to be careful of her, as she is "capable of anything and everything." The metaphor of the "dark horse" is used to describe her personality, as she may seem ordinary on the surface but has the potential to surprise and impress. The chorus of the song invites the listener to partake in some sort of magical experience with the woman, but warns that once they are hers, there is no turning back.


The second verse of the song is performed by Katy Perry and adds an additional layer to the theme of the lyrics. She describes the woman as a "beast" named Karma who will "eat your heart out like Jeffrey Dahmer." This suggests that the woman may be vindictive or vengeful towards those who wrong her, adding an element of danger to her character. However, Perry also hints at a softer side to the woman, stating that "if you get the chance you better keep her" and comparing her to Sleeping Beauty.


The overall message of the song is cautionary, advising the listener to be careful when engaging with this mysterious and alluring woman. Despite her potential to bring excitement and thrill to their life, the cost of losing themselves to her is too high.
