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
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 at you like a dark horse (hey)
Are you ready for, ready for (hey)
A perfect storm, a perfect storm? (hey, hey)
'Cause once you're mine, once you're mine
(Hey, 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 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 at you like a dark horse (hey)
Are you ready for, ready for (hey)
A perfect storm, a perfect storm? (hey, hey)
'Cause once you're mine, once you're mine
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
There's no going back
Uh, she's a beast
I call her Karma (come back)
She eats your heart out like Jeffrey Dahmer (whoa!)
Be careful
Try not to lead her on (mm)
Shawty's heart was on steroids
'Cause her love was so strong
You may 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'll turn cold as a freezer (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 (whoa!)
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 (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 (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, a perfect storm? (a perfect storm)
'Cause once you're mine, once you're mine (oh)
There's no going back
In "Dark Horse," performed by Katy Perry featuring Juicy J, Katy Perry is warning the listener to choose their words and actions carefully because she is capable of anything and everything. She presents herself as a desirable woman worth pursuing, but warns that becoming her enemy is not a good decision. Towards the end of the song, Juicy J's verse describes the dangers of underestimating a woman's love and warns to approach it honestly because it can lead to addiction, just like a drug.
The chorus compares Perry to a dark horse, suggesting that there is more to her than what meets the eye. This metaphor might suggest that, despite the listener thinking they know what they are getting into, Katy Perry has hidden, intense, and potentially dangerous qualities. The song's lyrics can be interpreted as a power anthem for women who are often underestimated and looked over, while also cautioning against underestimating their capabilities.
