Verse 1: Ultima)
A family that is poor to the point of shaking at 10,000 won
I brought them to their feet, don’t dare to imitate me
The endless expiration date inside of me
My mixtape is a tape, rewind this scene with me in its center

Ultima has hip hop DNA
If you were to classify my rap rank, my rap is rank A
Rap game every night to the point that penholders break
I’ll rub the singing parts like a married couple ((This line is more wordplay on words with the syllable ‘bu’ than making any sense.))

Whose voice rings better in your ears than mine?
Who goes about on stage more freely [than me]?
Are the things I do a dream to you?
Instead of dreaming my dream, I achieve it, that’s why I’m killer

If all you do after eating when being really busy is nothing but crap
even if you try to make your mug look sleek on the outside, it’s not cool, you’re an embarrassment
Others say “What can a hip hop cripple like you dare to do?”
I’m better off than you guys who are like that, so I do hip hop

Climb: Ultima)
Even if my two feet are gone, I’ll walk on my thighs
Even if my two hands are gone, I’ll hold the mic with my teeth
Even if I only have my two fists, I still have pride
The distance between me and the guy called giving up is too big

Chorus: STi)
I walk on the path I made, follow me like a shadow
Just follow me, impulse will guide you
I know I wasn’t wrong, follow me like the past
Lyrics singing of the future, just follow me

Hook x2)
Set set set your feet down
Set set set your feet down
Set set set your feet down
Those that shake in their boots, stay out of it ((Two puns on bal (foot): bal bal instead of beol beol (shake) and bal bbae (keep out).))

Verse 2: Sool J)
I know that now I’ve gotten older and compared to new artists I’m not hot either
However I’m always walking on this path, the only one thing I want is hip hop
I don’t blame anyone, I just quietly sharpen my canines
Unlike the rotten teeth of foolish people, not money but dreams are my success ((Wordplay on the sound ‘ee’ (meaning both ‘people’ and ‘teeth’).))

Nights that used to be extremely frantic, I practice again today
Freestyle is like art, I’m truly happy every single moment
Before becoming history, let’s become a warrior, action is the thing I need to do more of ((Pun on history (yeoksa) and warrior (yongsa).))
Hello ma fellows, quickly raise the anchor directly to my life path

Following the compass that only shows real things, I quietly march on
Don’t block me with something like the past, the current time is present progressive
Sool J is a rolling stone, someone trembles in jealousy again
But in the future [their envy] will pile up higher, they follow the money that calls them to its heart’s content

Even if they try to cast me I’m busy, this is the gambling place called ‘rap game’
I raise my price quickly ‘bam bam’, if I lose, I won’t be able to pay back
That’s right I just have to survive, I’m hotter than the Sahara Desert
I’ll become the pride of the people I love, thank you for your great support

Climb: Ultima)

Chorus: STi)

Hook x2)

Verse 3: San E)
Word up, product name ‘peanut butter’
I spread and devour it deliciously, so many scum-like guys go bad again
Shut the fuck up, your cowardly mouth is a bit dirty
If you suck my blood you’ll risk your life like a mosquito

Oh, your parasitic state is quite ugly
you can’t use hyung twice, chaotic ((He starts the line with hyunghada (looking terrible), but with saying hyung twice – hyunghyunghada (chaotic) the meaning changes. This is a very witty pun as in the Korean language saying an adjective twice usually emphasizes the meaning of the adjective. So instead of the doubling of the adjective meaning ‘looking extremely terrible’ the meaning instead is ‘chaotic’.))
Every time you open your trap, you do it in an undertone
Open it even wider, I’ll stuff it with ssuktteok ((Pun on ssukdeok (in an undertone, see previous line) and ssuktteok (rice cake flavored with mugwort).))

Clog up in prayer and die, vomit out the blood you sucked up
and I tattoo ‘sucker’ on that corpse
Telling me to look at the stuff those low-quality raps caused
When treated like a beggar you cause it [the stuff]

Don’t needlessly force grouping together, it’s impractical and only the pattern is similar ((He’s using wordplay with words whose ‘pattern is similar’ as they all start with the syllable ‘mu’: murijieo (grouping together), murihada (force), mujihada (impractical) and muneui (pattern).))
Don’t arouse criticism no matter how putrid the water became, that’s not it
This is the last warning,
don’t rap
