Translation

Incoming

Caution
Best proceed with caution
This don’t happen often
Might end up in a, in a, in a, in a, in a coffin
There’s no other option
We already locked in
Bars, they dropping
Let’s get it, let’s get it, let’s get it, yeah

Bet you never heard it this nasty
Been in trouble since the day my mamma had me
Excuse me, officer, pardon for speeding
But NMIXX is performing this evening

Oh, when you hear them sirens (Yeah)
Got that violent attitude
We ain’t compromising
(Whoa)

Bring in the yellow tape
Gon’ break it down
We might catch a case
No need to investigate
It’s a shakedown
They already know

Bring me the yellow tape
(Who? Me?)
‘Bout to catch a case
(Ah)
No need to investigate
(Ah)
They already know

Wee-ooh, wee-ooh, wee-ooh
Caution
Wee-ooh, wee-ooh
Ca-caution, —tion, —tion, —tion
Wee-ooh, wee-ooh, wee-ooh
Wee-ooh, wee-ooh, wee-ooh
Ca-caution
Wee-ooh, wee-ooh
Watch it

This might, this might shock
Got some shots for the opps
Just might do it for the plot
Ready or not
Mm, it’s ready and hot
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Ooh, when you hear them sirens
Got that violent attitude
We ain’t compromising
Oh, whoa, yeah

Bring in the yellow tape
Gon’ break it down
We might catch a case
No need to investigate
It’s a shakedown
They already know

Bring me the yellow tape
(Who? Me?)
‘Bout to catch a case
(Ah)
No need to investigate
(Ah)
They already know

I heard, “Freeze! Put your hands in the air
Yeah! Keep ’em up there
Yeah! Way up there like—”

Wee-ooh, wee-ooh, wee-ooh
Caution
Wee-ooh, wee-ooh
Ca-caution, —tion, —tion, —tion
Wee-ooh, wee-ooh, wee-ooh
Wee-ooh, wee-ooh, wee-ooh
Ca-caution
Wee-ooh, wee-ooh
Hold up

Caution
And we don’t say this often
Better look both ways before you cross me
How could a winner know how to, how to, how to count losses?
There’s no other option
We already locked in
Bars, they dropping
Let’s get it, let’s get it, let’s go

Bring in the yellow tape
Gon’ break it down
We might catch a case
No need to investigate
It’s a shakedown
They already know

Bring me the yellow tape
(Who? Me?)
‘Bout to catch a case
(Ah)
No need to investigate
(Ah)
They already know

Wee-ooh, wee-ooh, wee-ooh
Caution
Wee-ooh, wee-ooh
Ca-caution, —tion, —tion
Wee-ooh, wee-ooh, wee-ooh

NMIXX, Anderson .Paak “Caution” Meaning

“Caution” by NMIXX and Anderson .Paak is a bold, high-energy track built around themes of rebellion, confidence, and intimidation. Blending hip-hop and R&B with a crime-thriller atmosphere, the song delivers a warning to anyone who underestimates or challenges them.

The title “Caution” functions as a direct warning sign. Throughout the lyrics, the artists portray themselves as dangerous, unpredictable forces who demand attention and respect. Rather than playing safe or following expectations, they embrace chaos and confidence, making it clear that anyone standing in their way should “look both ways.”

The song’s imagery heavily references crime scenes, police chases, and reckless energy. Mentions of “yellow tape” and investigations create the feeling of a cinematic action sequence, symbolizing the explosive impact they leave behind. These references are less about literal crime and more about showcasing fearless attitude, dominance, and swagger.

At its core, “Caution” is an anthem about unapologetic self-belief and refusing to be controlled by critics or rivals. The collaboration between NMIXX and Anderson .Paak adds playful charisma and rebellious energy, perfectly matching the song’s stylish, action-movie-inspired concept. Featured on the soundtrack for K-POPS!, the track captures the excitement, confidence, and larger-than-life attitude of the film’s world.
