I think that Yoni is bashing the people in the music industry, who are untalented and mainstream. I think he is writing this song as a "fuck you" to all them.
"This goes out to all my underdone, under-tongue, lung long frontmen" talking about all the people who are untalented, and "frontmen" is directly talking about basically top 20 artist.
"This goes out to dirty dancing, cursing, backmasking,
backslidden pastor's kids
(From behind bars it's not so hard to see he's risen)
And all us earth growths, some planted
And some pulled
(But nobody finds God and then goes to prison)" This verse is talking about how they try to be fake and say they are religious people, but yet they go to prision for doing stupid unholy stuff.
"(Even just Joanna Newsom’s left hand)
(I bet could beat the pants in bass off your best man)" hes giving props to Joanna Newsom while saying that she can outplay any dumb "hot" bass player or any guitar player for that matter.
at one point he says "put your money where your mouth is" acknowledging that they have money, but hes challenging their talent.
