Dark Horse
j.sco Lyrics

(Oh, new)
Introducing a new song by J.sco

Yeah, y'all know what it is
Acknowledging the audience familiarity with the performers and song

Katy Perry
Acknowledging the lead artist on the song

Juicy J
Acknowledging the featured artist on the song

Uh huh, let's rage
Inviting the audience to get excited and party

I knew you were
Acknowledging the inevitability of a relationship

You were gonna come to me
Acknowledging the other person's attraction and interest in the singer

And here you are
Noting the successful arrival of the other person in the relationship

But you better choose carefully
Warning the other person to be cognizant of their choice in the relationship

'Cause I, I'm capable of anything
Implying that the singer has the potential for both good and bad actions in the relationship

Of anything and everything
Strengthening the claim of capability for any and all actions

Make me your Aphrodite
Asking the other person to elevate the singer's status in their life

Make me your one and only
Asking the other person to be exclusive in their relationship

But don't make me your enemy (enemy)
Warning against creating animosity in the situation

Your enemy (your enemy), your enemy
Reiterating the warning and oppositional tone

So you wanna play with magic?
Asking the other person if they are ready to engage in an intense, transformative relationship

Boy, you should know what you're fallin' for
Cautioning the other person to recognize the potential consequences of their actions

Baby, do you dare to do this?
Challenging the other person to take a risk in the relationship

'Cause I'm coming at you like a dark horse (hey)
Warning that the singer's actions and emotions may be unexpected and intense

Are you ready for, ready for (hey)
Asking if the other person is prepared for the relationship's challenges and rewards

A perfect storm, perfect storm? (Hey, hey)
Comparing the potential relationship to an unpredictable, destructive storm

'Cause once you're mine, once you're mine (hey, hey, hey, hey)
Asserting that if the relationship is established, it will be powerful and unbreakable

(There's no going back)
Implying that the other person should be very certain in committing to the relationship

Mark my words
Asking the other person to pay attention and remember what the singer said

This love will make you levitate
Stating that the relationship will be euphoric and uplifting

Like a bird, like a bird without a cage
Using a simile to emphasize the freedom and happiness in the relationship

But down to earth
Acknowledging that the relationship must be grounded in reality

If you choose to walk away, don't walk away
Warning against making a rash decision to end the relationship

It's in the palm of your hand now, baby
Asserting that the other person now holds the power and responsibility in the relationship

It's a yes or a no, no maybe
Simplifying the decision the other person must make to commit or not

So just be sure before you give it all to me
Reemphasizing the importance of considering the implications of the relationship

All to me, give it all to me
Requesting complete commitment from the other person

Uh, she's a beast
Starting a new verse with a simile for the woman in the relationship

I call her Karma (come back)
Equating the woman with the concept of justice and consequence

She eat your heart out like Jeffrey Dahmer (woo)
Using a macabre metaphor for the woman's intensity and passion

Be careful, try not to lead her on
Warning the listener to be considerate and respectful of the woman's feelings

Shawty heart is on steroids
Exaggerating the strength of the woman's emotional attachment

'Cause her love is so strong
Reinforcing the woman's emotional intensity

You might fall in love when you meet her (meet her)
Suggesting that the other person may become quickly enamored with the woman

If you get the chance, you better keep her (keep her)
Advising the listener to hold onto the woman if they are fortunate enough to win her affection

She's sweet as pie, but if you break her heart
Noting the woman's pleasant nature, but suggesting that she has a darker side if wronged

She turn cold as a freezer (freezer)
Using a simile to suggest the woman's emotional detachment and potential vengeance

That fairy tale ending with a knight in shining armor
Referencing the romantic storybook trope of a man rescuing a woman

She can be my Sleeping Beauty
Reversing the trope to suggest that the woman is the one in need of rescue

I'm gon' put her in a coma (woo)
Using provocative language to express the singer's intense passion for the woman

Damn, I think I love her
Explicitly stating the singer's feelings for the woman

Shawty so bad, I'm sprung and I don't care
Acknowledging that the woman's beauty and intensity have hooked the singer regardless of what may come

She ride me like a roller coaster
Using a double entendre to suggest both the woman's sexual prowess and the frenetic dynamism of their relationship

Turn the bedroom into a fair (a fair)
Using a simile to suggest the intense and exhilarating nature of their sexual encounters

Her love is like a drug
Comparing the woman's affection to a powerful substance addiction

I was tryna hit it and quit it
Admitting that the singer initially intended for their relationship to be a short-term fling

But lil' mama so dope
Reinforcing the singer's captivation and passion for the woman

I messed around and got addicted
Asserting that the singer became emotionally dependent on the woman despite their initial intentions

Asking the other person again if they are prepared for the consequences of engaging in the relationship

Implying that the other person should be prepared for a relationship that may be turbulent or even destructive

Asking if the other person is ready for a powerful and all-consuming relationship

Asserting that once the relationship has started, it cannot be undone
