Verse)
When a crowd of shamans who walk on the rap skill cutter((‘Jakdoo’ (작두) actually refers to a ‘straw-cutter’ but I simply left it as ‘cutter’ like in the SoundCloud link.)) ((To prove that they have divine power, or that they are possessed by god, shamans walk on jakdoo (straw cutters). The ‘real’ shamans walk unhurt over the jakdoo while the ‘fake’ shamans get cut.)) get together
and hold a festival that is like a competition of dwarfs,
there is no way my stomach can get its fill at such a place
Instead of such exorcism, I overturn the loaded table at a corrupt lord’s house

But today I keep catching ghosts who do nothing
but peeling rice seeds and I scare them all away
with the threshing machine((When someone says something completely unbelievable and absurd, Koreans say “That’s like saying ghosts peeled and ate the rice seeds.” In the past when rice seeds would not grow, people used to say that ghosts had peeled and eaten them.
Here, Jerry.k probably wants to imply that he keeps catching rappers who say absurd things, e.g. I’m the rap king. He continues the metaphor by threatening them: I’ll thresh the rice with the threshing machine so you can’t peel it anymore; in other words: I’ll stop you from talking absurd stuff (aka shit).))
Since dàgē((Chinese for ‘big brother’ (the Korean equivalent here would be ‘형님’), Koreans usually use it to refer to Jackie Chan)) Deepflow has started this

I have stepped forward too. Even if
only half of you was shown on TV, they clap and say, “Well done”
A dog fancier who lures with a spoon of rice
Trying to steal the rice bowl, they have a dogfight in front of Dogg((Snoop Dogg))

Instead of rice, eat shit y’all
trying hard for a stupid necklace
while betraying the mic and imitating tough gangsters
After it’s over, they act so very docile in front of the judges

No gangster boogie, no gangster rap shit
They can’t be anything but a copy of a gangster anyway
They just show off loudly, high and mighty like castanets
It’s su~per exciting((This is meant sarcastically))

They’re all babies who can say nothing but “I rap better than you”
You’re not qualified to stand in front of the mic, what I mean is
If continuously bawling out that you are the king
gives you the right to the throne, then what kind of a dumb king would you be?

They’re nor kings nor vassals
They’re evil bastards who should disappear as myth
[You ask] Why I’m always so on the edge?
No! I’m a cutter, I’m standing on myself

Hook x2)
Cutter, Tathatā,((Central concept in Buddhism that is interpreted as “One who has arrived at suchness,” it means to always and unchangingly be ‘real’ (*/*) )) that person((= god)) keeps coming
Hahaha, fakes that make me yawn((‘Ha’ is the first syllable of ‘yawn’ (하품, hapum) and ‘Ka’ (see next line) is the first syllable of ‘fakes’ (가짜들, kajjadeul).))
Kakaka, I chop the fakes((To prove that they have divine power, or that they are possessed by god, shamans walk on jakdoo (straw cutters). The ‘real’ shamans walk unhurt over the jakdoo while the ‘fake’ shamans get cut.))
Cut, chop
