about

This song represents the central defensive midfielder position. Arsenal FC signing Mathieu Flamini who plays this position, was considered the Dark Horse of the team in 2013 due to his unexpected success.

Malachite considers himself a Dark Horse due to how he believes he will be successful and there are many who doubt him.

lyrics

Uh

Yo

Dark

Horse

I'm a dark horse

I'm a dark horse

I'm a dark horse

Yup

Verse 1
Class clown most nominated
Best looks least compensated
Top grades most educated
Had to pay my family back I felt obligated
Had the best ride but least dated
Was the most likely to be famous
Yet the most likely to be hated
Black
Beautiful life homie when we make it
Had 'em steady blinking they eyes
When I told 'em I made it
Even though they knew I could rhyme
I was underestimated
They ain't know they ain't know Rico
But I love that shit karma a bitch repo
So I took control N Shift
I was incognito
And a sleeping giant till I woke now that's my alter ego
With all that weight and so much behind these lyrics
When they see me at the top they'll realize I'm defying physics

Hook
I'm a dark horse
I'm a dark horse
I'm a dark horse
I'm a dark horse
I'm a dark horse
Ride with me
I'm a dark horse
Ride with me
I'm a dark horse
Ride with me
I'm a dark horse
Ride with me

Verse 2
I'm a dark horse
In a dark race
They ain't see me
I'm Flamini
Ain't no holding back
Although I'm holding back
And got that 'shere will power
You could call me Jack
Now that's what you don't know
I'm in the box and jump out
Just at the right time
Element of surprise
Element in disguise
See it's a mystery
Connect the dots player
You'll see my history
I was the most unlikely to succeed
I was the A.F.C. of lifes Premier League
But I got the most stamina out of all of these niggaz
When I'm running at the top they be saying damn go figure
So you can go figure how I simply grow sicker
While I'm laying in the cut and so simply grow better uh
I be a monster on the ball Halle Berry
And I'm such a dark horse I be riding past Katy Perry

Hook
I'm a dark horse
I'm a dark horse
I'm a dark horse
I'm a dark horse
I'm a dark horse
Ride with me
I'm a dark horse
Ride with me
I'm a dark horse
Ride with me
I'm a dark horse
Ride with me

Verse 3
Uh
They been looking at my position
They been watching how I been slipping
They been slipping steady forgetting
They ain't see I got a new sense and
I'm a nuisance cause I'll never be quitting
Cook up a storm it be hot in my kitchen uh
Hot in my kitchen yea they'll call me Ramsay
Hot on the pitch and yea they'll call me Ramsey
I'm here to tackle life hard even though it's testing me
I work best under pressure so it ain't stressing me
I be that kid from the motherland with the same dream
I been that kid making music ever since 15
I been that man who got ill and I'm still here
I been that man who has failed homie I'm still here
They can take my job
They can take my money
But they'll never take my success homie

Hook
I'm a dark horse
I'm a dark horse
I'm a dark horse
I'm a dark horse

(Repeat x3 till end)
I'm a dark horse
Ride with me
I'm a dark horse
Ride with me
I'm a dark horse
Ride with me
I'm a dark horse
Ride with me
