I've translated the Tao Te Ching rap from A Chinese Ghost Story. And in this thread, I'm going to annotate every single line of lyrics, explaining all the jokes to you.

Let's speak some nonsense.

人間道
The way of the mortals

Tao is often interpreted as "The Way of the universe". The Title subverted that interpretation by supplanting the universe with the human realm. As we'll see, it is both nonsensical and profound.

What possible meaning can this have? Well, there is none. But the rhythm came from 急急風, a type of rolling drum beats from Cantonese opera, often used when a character rushes onto the scene.
