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

Hook)
I’m a real good verse, freestyle un-rehearsed
I’m a real good verse, freestyle un-rehearsed
I’m a real good verse, freestyle un-rehearsed
I’m a real good verse, freestyle un-rehearsed

Verse 1: EFFECT)
First, I put brakes onto your arrogant attitude of ‘Yes, I’m the best’
I don’t plan to negotiate
What nigga, are you black? ((He’s punning on 니가 (niga = you) and nigga, sarcastically implying that saying 니가 is impolite. The following question “Are you black?” is worded really polite too, to add to the sarcasm.))
Laid back? The way I see it, you’re behind the beat

I go by the name JayKim EFFECT den
Oh yeh I’m too good, it’s classic like ‘Mutu’ (( ‘Mutu’ (Hand-on-hand combat) is a famous song of Korean hiphop legend Garion.))
Although you spit a swag, that’s melo melo melo ((Effect’s very own way of spelling “mellow,” similar to how he spells “yellow” (see next line).))
I definitely don’t imitate black people cuz I’m yello yellow yellow

Even though I don’t have a nice watch or a nice car, I get the same treatment
or even better, I have that kind of personality that I can’t dig my own grave
I don’t lie, my friends are surprised by me
I used to be shorter than my peers, but who is the taller now?

Earthquake, no limit line, I heard about my reverse side like hulk
E and K’s difference is decided exactly between being on stage and below the stage ((The E refers to Effect, but the K refers to his real name Kim Hyo-Jin, thus he is talking about his ‘separate’ personalities so to speak on-and-off stage.  ))
You still don’t know my name?
I’m Jaykim EFFECT a.k.a Yellow

Hook)

Verse 2: Sool J)
Okay I’m Sool-to-the-J, the freestyle rap battle champion
You’re pathetic, again you’re complaining, you’re embarrassing the whole neighborhood
If you want to be my challenger, first start by watching my past achievements
or give up and curse your fate

Haters are just earthworms [under me], I’m the blazing sun of high summer
So don’t crawl out, in the end everything will be taken from you
Even the shade under which you take a break is darkness
so dear God, don’t lead me into temptation, stop the indolence

I dream, this is a lucid dream ((A lucid dream is a dream you can control. It means you’re dreaming but you’re in control of what’s happening in the dream. Here, this is used as a metaphor to express that he’s awake but fulfilling his dream.))
Don’t think that you can do that too
I was taking a nap but ah it’s noisy, why did you disturb me?
I’ll make you cry and I’ll put you out like an alarm

Contempt and disdain also become a crown of thorns ((I think he is referring to Christ’s crown of thorns in Christianity.))
Instead of damn money, I want to show off the painful times I’ve gone through
In this fierce scene, everything always changes, friend and foe
So no matter if mercy or revenge, I repay it with interest

Hook)

Verse 3: San E)
Freestyle town, a manly crew
Our goal is to drive a Maybach while giving life a high-five when we turn forty
but right now Bounce Bounce
If not like Cho Yong-Pil, click pow pow ((‘Bounce bounce’ is Korean music legend Cho Yong-pil’s latest hit, while ‘Like Cho Yong-pil’ is San E’s labelmate Phantom’s popular song.))

From star of the neighborhood to star of Hongdae
Fact is that I’m well-liked even in Vietnam, Japan and Indonesia now
If you want me to clarify, this is an undeniable revolution
But why do you still fail to recognize me? What agony ……oh my

Scary’P & San E, like Eric B. & Rakim ((DJ Eric B. & MC Rakim were a famous American hip hop duo. Scary’P is a DJ in Freestyle Town, so San E is implying that the two of them can be the Eric B. & Rakim of Korea.))
The center of Korean hip hop ganji, FT family is inviolable ((FT is short for Freestyle Town))
A big commotion like Block B, we gon’ melt you down like ice cream ((He’s quoting lyrics from Block B’s ‘Nanrina’ (big commotion) and Hyuna’s ‘Ice Cream’.))
And 4Minute’s Hyuna …… fighting! *^^*

(What’s your name?) My given name is Chin-nom, my surname is Mi ((a) Quoting 4Minute’s 이름이 뭐예요? (What’s Your Name?)
b) He’s using word play as Korean surnames are given first, the full name would be 미친 놈 (michin nom) or crazy rascal/bastard.))
A (music-)crazy bastard, my blood type boiling young blood
I don’t do drugs cuz I am thug
I don’t give a fuck cuz i am funk

Hook)

Verse 4: Ultima)
In front of my rap, you guys’ rap collapses, Pompeii ((Referring to the ancient Roman town-city Pompeii.))
I’m not an umchinah but I can be compared with one without hesitation ((엄친아 (umchinah) is short for 엄마친구의 아들 (ummachingueui adeul – mom’s friend’s son) which implies an ideal son that is filial, good at academics, etc.))
I make public the culture, the organization and the performance I made
What did you achieve? Nothing much? Scum

You guys are nothing but wack talk with your keyboard, just who is trying to provoke who?
The real one does just one activity, whose concert is crowded?
Get out of the corner of your room, if warm blood is flowing in you then prove it, what are you waiting for?
I’m drowsy and yawn, suddenly tears well up in the eyes of fakers. Boring.

All day rapping champion ranking
Where I set my feet down can be the highest peak ((발딛음 (Set Your Feet Down) is another song that Freestyle Town (as a crew) released.))
Involuntarily, the pot boils rap ramyeon ((랩이라면 is one of Ultima’s songs. It’s a wordplay and can be understood as “rap ramyeon” or as “Rap is …”/”Talking about rap …”))
My contrasting color, LED graphic

We become perfect unity, we become the right answer, the model answer
The sign ‘Freestyle Town’ makes us known in every corner of the land, senses that are one step ahead
I earn money with something different than others, the past has gone and the sun will rise
Only the real ones know, I study and I have potential to become great starting from a small twig ((He refers to a common saying about growing up/developing one’s skills which literally means something like ‘The grown tree that started from a twig’.))
