No harm intended
Do you feel it too?
It's a violent delight when we hit it tonight, yes
So don't try to fight it get on my bad side, yeah
I know what they try to be telling you
'Cause all I am is trouble, trouble, trouble, hey
They don't understand how you can be my bae
All I am is trouble trouble, trouble, hey
You could think I could be crazy when I jump but, they don't know I can
Trouble, trouble, trouble, hey
Tell me something, what you gonna do
Because you know how I feel, what about you
It's a violent delight yeah, so don't try to fight it
Tonight you are mine boy, so stop tryna hide it
I know what they try to be telling you
She's a wild mustang and she ain't no good
'Cause all I am is trouble trouble trouble, hey
They don't understand how you can be my bae
All I am is trouble trouble trouble, hey
You could think I could be crazy when I jump but, they don't know I can
Trouble, trouble, trouble, hey
The lyrics of YELLOW CLAW's hit song "WILD MUSTANG" featuring Becky G and Cesqeaux depict a tumultuous yet passionate relationship. The singer acknowledges that they need something or someone and that person is the love interest. The relationship is rocky and may sometimes lead to disagreements and rough patches, but ultimately the singer wants the love interest to indulge in passion with them without resisting. The lyrics urge the love interest not to fight the feelings of desire for each other and to let the passion take over. The singer understands that people may not have a positive view of the love interest due to them being a "wild mustang" but they believe in the love interest and that their unconventional nature is what draws the singer to them. The chorus repeats that all the singer is, is trouble, but despite this, they still want to be with the love interest.
The song's lyrics capture the essence of a tumultuous relationship that is not easy, but the passion and love between the two remain constant. It is a song about two people who embrace their unconventional nature and live life as they please, despite being judged by society. The lyrics show the beauty of loving someone for who they are, including their flaws and imperfections, and taking the risk of being with someone who is not traditionally seen as a safe bet. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy lyrics make it a danceable track that leaves listeners vibing with the rhythm.

I miss the old Yellow Claw, straight from the go Yellow Claw
Chop up the soul Yellow Claw, set on his goals Yellow Claw
I hate the new Yellow Claw, the bad mood Yellow Claw
The always rude Yellow Claw, spaz in the news Yellow Claw
I miss the sweet Yellow Claw, chop up the beats Yellow Claw
I gotta to say at that time I'd like to meet Yellow Claw
See I invented Yellow Claw, it wasn't any Yellow Claws
And now I look and look around and there's so many Yellow Claws
I used to love Yellow Claw, I used to love Yellow Claw
I even had the pink polo, I thought I was Yellow Claw
What if Yellow Claw made a song about Yellow Claw
Called "I Miss The Old Yellow Claw, " man that would be so Yellow Claw
That's all it was Yellow Claw, we still love Yellow Claw
And I love you like Yellow Claw loves Yellow Claw, hahaha

I think it speaks volumes when artists produce something outside their typical sound. Definitely the softest track on the album, but it's surprisingly catchy AF
