Abacá ( /ɑːbəˈkɑː/ ah-bə-KAH; from Spanish "abacá" [aβaˈka] for Musa textilis), Musa textilis, is a species of banana native to the Philippines, grown as a commercial crop in the Philippines, Ecuador, and Costa Rica. The plant is of great economic importance, being harvested for its fibre, once generally called Manila hemp, extracted from the trunk or pseudostem. On average, the plant grows about 12 feet (4 meters) tall. The fiber was originally used for making twines and ropes; now most abacá is pulped and used in a variety of specialized paper products including tea bags, filter paper and banknotes. It is classified as a hard fiber, along with coir, henequin and sisal.
Abacá was first cultivated on a large scale in Sumatra in 1925 under the Dutch, who had observed its cultivation in the Philippines for cordage since the 19th century, followed up by plantings in Central America in 1929 sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Commercial planting began in 1930 in British North Borneo; with the commencement of WWII, the supply from the Philippines was eliminated by the Japanese. Today, abaca is produced commercially in only three countries: Philippines, Ecuador, and Costa Rica. Yields are highest in Costa Rica, but the industry is new and planted acreage limited.

Somebody help me kill this!
Love. Kill this love. Kill this love. Love.
Somebody help me kill this!
Love. Kill this love. Kill this love. Love. Please don't die.
I should cut off the breath of my memories of you.
I've set fire to our recollections.
I hoped that my regrets will become a pile of ash
But they've only gotten hotter.
Even when I fill the bathtub with water
And dip myself in it to extinguish the fire
I hold my breath and soon, you come up again.
I hold on to the regrets that have come up.
I cover the eyes of memories that are watching me.
I roll up my hatred and look around.
It's a desert everywhere, where I want to find tears.
I should bury away my little affections.
My emotions are still soft.
The line that's been shaken because of its weakness.
I should draw it well and finish if off.
Save me.
Please save me.
Save me.
Somebody help me kill this!
Love. Kill this love. Kill this love. Love. Please don't die.

Kill, kill, kill, kill this.
I can't kill, kill, kill this love.
No, no, no, no.
God help me kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, this love.
Kill this love.
Every rainy night, you come looking for me again.
The pieces of memories, buried deep in my heart, fly towards me like an arrow.
You used to be my dream, so why?
You become a nightmare every night again.
You push me off into despair, when I don't even have wings.
Please answer me that it's over now.
It didn't work. Since you left me, my heart had a hole. Gunshot.
Using ‘disinfection' as my excuse,
I only depend on alcohol and drink it up in one shot like poison spreading in my whole body.
These days, I black out every day.
My hungry lonelienss starves me.
My thirsty regrets suffocate me.
If you live, I'll die. Don't you know?
Save me.
Please save me.
Save me.
Somebody help me kill this!
Love. Kill this love. Kill this love. Love. Please don't die.
Somebody help me kill this!
Love, love. Love, love.
Kill, kill, kill, kill this love.

Kill, kill, kill, kill this.
I can't kill, kill, kill this love.
No, no, no, no.
God help me kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, this love.
Kill this love.
If you open my eyes, my eyes will close.
Redrum, redrum, redrum.
If you breathe, my breath will stop.
Redrum, redrum, redrum.
Somebody help me kill this!
Somebody help me kill, kill, kill this love.
God help me kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, this love.
Goodbye dear love.

It's right here Epik High you might hear
there's a new voice behind the promo for this year
and you like it all of a sudden and don't know why emcee MYK
making you wanna buy, so high, that I'm hypnotizing the public
when this shit drops they're really not ready to catch the subject
off topic still I kill this mic before I drop it drop the beats
[Tukutz]
On time making customers wanna cop it, stop it It's too much
we're gonna sell out, I thought you knew it's Epik High
Do I have to spell it out? well I just did flipped your lid and gave
your brain a kiss now you're stuck cuz tablo and MYK made'em pissed
We write rhymes on a regular take tracks to the face, turning
silence into music or the day goes to waste
We travel on into unknown don't follow the roadsign
we just try to form the rhymes that read yo mind!
[Chorus]
Let's go everybody follow the flow
It's Like one to the two two three here we go
Let's go everybody gettin' to know
It's like check where you're at and ask Yourself where did it go?
Let's go everybody follow the flow
It's Like one to the two two three here we go
Let's go everybody gettin' to know
It's like check where you're at and ask Yourself where did it go?
[Tablo]
Contaminators can't evade us, epik rhyme animators
tailor-made ta git you high like skyscraper elevators
we skywalkin', leavin' sly talkin' player haters
microphone masturbators breathin' hard like darth vaders
fuckin' fakers, better recognize, i'm an
originator, fed up with your lies, since I
blew up, turned the tables, got famous
ya quick to switch sides like turntable faders
now... I do love all of God's creations
but like an empty hospital, I'm out of patience
yes I am... the rap game's voice
every cat's main choice, the rap James Joyce
it's a piece of cake, gimme a break,
i kill MCs, then speak at they finnegan's wake
I'm much mo' than a cheap CD
I'm a prohibition mc - i speak-easy
[D-Tox]
You betta recognize like u lookin' in the mirror
I'm takin' lives like a serial killer
for reala spit fire like Godzilla
supplyin' dope lines like a mo'fuckin coke dealer
the rap pharoah from ground zero
stab u in the chest wit a broken arrow
u speakin' loud but the crowd is sleepin' hollow
why u speakin' proud when no headz would ever follow
kill u for dolo, cd to phono
not a fan of U2 but I do it pro-bono
oh no, this is D-tox from the bay
put it down for Epik High let em walk u the way
[Chorus]
Let's go everybody follow the flow
It's Like one to the two two three here we go
Let's go everybody gettin' to know
It's like check where you're at and ask Yourself where did it go?
Let's go everybody follow the flow
It's Like one to the two two three here we go
Let's go everybody gettin' to know

No college mini cooper necessary to acknowledge it.
Some call it love and some call it sex. opposites.
Call it what you want, but with one touch and you're gone, so call in sick.
Human politics, from whispered hushes and distant crushes.
Mental fits breakin' pencil tips and inkin' brushes.
Simple rushes.
God creates man, and this is the devil's finishing touches.
From dukes to duchesses and kings to queens.
From dust to dust, this is the sinful theme.
The scene for crack fiends and gun-packin' teens
High on vaccines, magazines and saccharine.

Yeah, people, attention
Education, knowledge
Huh, yeah, I got something to say to my teachers
Genius is not the answer to all questions
It's the question to all answers
Do we learn math to add the dead sums?
Subtract the weak ones, count cash for great ones?
Yo, we multiply but divide the nation.
Break down like fractions, send our sons away to die
Do we learn science in defiance of faith?
To make alliance with fakes for an appliance's sake?
We ask for the real to make artificial intelligence to make smarter kills of others' presidents
Why do we learn history? To fix stories for the guilty
Make angels look filthy and the devils look milky
If the victor writes the books then what have we won?
Are we battleships of authorship a rich man's guns?
Do we learn to read to receive the lies,
to deceive the eyes from seeing between the lines?
Yo, we use words to bring forth sticks and stones,
to sing songs of hate that fill the streets with bones.
Unseen or heard,
a king with words
Tablo, lyrical assassin
y-y-yeah yeah
Make me vision for better livin'
Unseen or heard,
a king with words
Tablo, lyrical assassin
y-y-yeah yeah
Make me vision
(I'm the truth)
Is a day job more than self-slavery?
When we're locked watching the clock impatiently
we sweat for the dollar bills, the checks, and the credit cards
but the dollar kills, breaks the necks of our inner hearts
If the police are role models for the righteous,
why does justice depend on guns and nightsticks?
Mr. officer, don't punish me, with brutality
The streets got me singing Marvin Gaye off-key
Why do we need church to get to heaven's gates?
Can holy water quench the thirst of those whose fates
Started in the wrong place with the wrong face?
Can the poor and the hungry survive solely on grace?
Can this rap game ever bring changes?
When MCs would rather floss a cross than be saviors?
Will I last in this game, be blasted with shame
Will I stand for my name and never blaspheme for fame?
Unseen or heard,
a king with words
Tablo, lyrical assassin
y-y-yeah yeah
Make me vision for better livin'
Unseen or heard,
a king with words
Tablo, lyrical assassin
y-y-yeah yeah
Make me vision
Yeah, Never die

[Kero One]
Hit the closets,
Here come the lyrical monsters with weapons from neck up.
Wrecking flows with concepts.
Burbs to projects, they yelling my name.
Kero One, free us from mainstream shackles and chains.
The messiah of indie music,
Be the movement, do it yourself,
Pursue it or else you'll lose it.
Truth... I told myself as a young youth,
Now I build with skills what haters try to undo.
Edge of your seat flows, stepping on beats' toes.
Spitting fire like a lighter, reppin' my peoples.
Second to none when it comes to showin' how it's done.
Epik high, Kero One, Map the Soul. Cowards run!
[Dumbfoundead]
Yo it's Dumbfoundead
Map the Soul, modern day Casanova.
Pack a bowl and pass it ova',
People say I rap like Yoda.
Hand me a pack of coronas and Imma kill it,
Get 'drunk' like the tiger
Rhymer and go terrorize your village.
Epik High called and told me
To jump on and 'kill the track'...
I took it literally and stomped on it till it was flat.
I'm from killa California, K-town to be exact.
Got so much damn soul,
To find it you won't need a map.
I've earned stripes like the corner
Regions of Korea's flag.
A recording demon but there's
More to me than being a rapper.
An advocate for truth, I am a savage in the booth.
Step up and try to battle,
See how much damage I could do
[Tablo]
Yes I'm ready to rocksteady! Cuz I got skills.
Yes I'm ready to rocksteady! Cuz I got skills.
[MYK]
Emcee Myk Map the Soul.
Epik High muthafuckas, our tracks are bold.
A tale unfolds, but y'all already know.
Six years deep and they still 'follow the flow'.
Joined the team in 0-5,
Despite a little down time
I'm rollin' with the varsity team,
Your rhymes are hardly mean,
We hold it down in this scene
And never barter with thieves.
Words are sharp, shoot darts at a hater's heart.
Aiming at your lolly gagging lines and your faking smarts.
Breaking charts down, taking the whole crowd.
Face it, we march proud and we making this art loud!
[Tablo]
Be your own big boss. Get yours,
With your mind on the money like you're the pit boss.
Go independent, be your own self-defendant.
Like a knee repentant, the rules can be bended.
No fool can be mended, it's a torn sickness.
No need to prove yourself to a born witness.
Look in the mirror, kid.
You're a wonder like the pyramids.
Industry, the stink of it,
Ain't you fuckin' sick of it? Idleness?
It's a sin, yes. Clean up your 'window'
Of opportunity like Windex.
You know, it's like incest to 'fuck yourself' over.
Self-hate is alcohol...
You're drunk or you're sober.
[Tablo]
Yes I'm ready to rocksteady! Cuz I got skills.
Yes I'm ready to rocksteady! Cuz I got skills.
[Rakka]
It's on when the mic's on. Dark when the light's on.
Spit light when dark. Explosive dope, pipe bomb.
Swing till your whole crew is gone.
Skills like and.
Spirit MC King. Ask Wing and Hong 10,
I work the ring like Die Hard Dong-Hyun Kim.
Otherwise never say die.
So I'm blessed with 'nuff local love.
Worldwide respected.
I trade money but my time is precious.
They chase treasure,
But my milliseconds are measured.
Map the Soul and every single spot I've affected.
Rakaa stays fly and the High is Epik.
[Tablo]
Yes I'm ready to rocksteady! Cuz I got skills.
Yes I'm ready to rocksteady! Cuz I got skills.
East, west connection.
Boom Bap. One blood, one God, one soul music.
East, west connection.
ou got so much to prove
Hoping they approve
The only thing that's true is all you ever do is do
You're moving shoe to shoe but you're not going
You stop growing, the moment that you stay at the top
The only way is to drop
Freefalling down the stairs that you climbed up
Lined up to freely mount the air
But you dare not air drop
Tied up like a hair knot
Hiking down without a chance of stepping on a fair rock
And so, you stand still in a stand-still
Hands still building castles on a sand hill
"Man chill," is what your friends say
But you're not hearing what little men say
Anyway, keep on going, and taste the stars
Keep on growing, and raise the bar
You're living life for the As down to the Zs
After the hill you got a mountain to seize
You are an overachiever
Do what it takes 'til it takes everything you are
You are an overachiever
Do what it takes 'til it takes everything you are
Who can tell?
Your living is an organized hell
The mansion of your mind just an oversized cell
The pressure, everything is done to a measure
In the sea of competition sunk like a treasure
Like a feather falling slow spiraling to the floor
Strung up like a broken violin to your course
Opportunity is knocking at your door
But you never left a welcome mat (it doesn't matter anymore)
Or anyhow, but you're too late to turn back
Fate pushing you into the wall like a thumbtack
Ain't no comebacks in this game of life
Roll the dice again
Roll it once, never twice
Keep on going, and taste the stars
Keep on growing, and raise the bar
You're living life for the As down to the Zs
After one drop you got a fountain to seize
You are an overachiever
Do what it takes 'til it takes everything you are
You are an overachiever
Do what it takes 'til it takes everything you are
You are an overachiever
Do what it takes 'til it takes everything you are
Wanna break from the world, but the world wanna break you
The weight makes your backbone curl up and make you
You are an overachiever
Do what it takes 'til it takes everything you are
Wanna break from the world, but the world wanna break you
M-A-P T-H-E Soul, M-A-Z-E, lose control.
M-A-Z-E, my life is amazin'
[Dumbfoundead's Verse]
Three blind mice as we're lost in the maze route, lookin' for the easiest possible way out.
Day in and day out, you run into a closed road. Turning into old folk, chasing after rose gold.
What they don't know is that it belongs to a fool.
Choosing wants over needs, singing songs of a mule.
Carrying their burdens when you barely know the person,
And that is the difference between a pharaoh and a servant.
I choose to serve no man but serve mankind,
At the same time avoiding all of Earth's landmines.
You step in it and you blow up,
You exit or you grow up, or get locked up.
The pigs catch ya eating donuts.
But I'd rather rhyme bars than sit behind bars.
How can a prison cell contain this shining bright star.
They have no idea what I could do in a minute's time.
Break down the walls of the maze and run through the finish line.
Life is like a maze... when I'm flippin' through the pages.
[Myk's Verse]
It's high definition black and white.
Is it digital, analog, wack or tight?
It's stressful wishing sacrifice, and the list goes on. It's the facts of life.
East coast ettiquite, west coast slang.
Peace we'll never get if shit don't change.
Do you play with the majors or go independent?
Gotta stay paid but I'm broke like a peasant.
Love, sex, greed, addictions. What's next?
Need directions. There's nobody left to follow.
Wallow in my sorrow for a hollow tomorrow.
Life is like a maze, try to keep track of the days that take us from place to place.
Awaken and face-to-face.
Too many choices, possibilities, indecision is killing me.
And if you lend a helping hand, then I will follow willingly.
Life is like a maze... when I'm flippin' through the pages.
M-A-P T-H-E Soul, M-A-Z-E, lose control.
M-A-P T-H-E Soul
[Tablo's Verse]
Flip through fashion magazines, cop a swag or lean.
When nothing's goin' 'smooth', rub a little vaseline.
Do an online, offline, frontline search. Either quench or confine your Columbine thirst. Cuz you wanna fit in...
And find a perfect 'match' to set your heart in flames. You wanna be a catch.
Catch-22, catch the flu, catchphrase.
By any means necessary in this rat's maze.
It's a black haze muddle, a rainy day puddle...
Life is gonna wet ya, get ya in a muzzle.
A struggle to survive, a huddle nine to five with no quarterback.
Change? You won't even get a quarter back.
It's a murder fact, reality kills. Call your doctor now for your reality pills.
Chill, but still worry... a bug's goin' around.
Cuz life is like your homie, it's 'holdin' u down'.
Life is like a maze... when I'm flippin' through the pages.
Who's to blame. No remedy to cure this pain.
No remedy to cure this pain.
Cuz I believe there's nothing there for me.
Education is killing my religion.
Intuition is killing my religion.
My religion is killing your religion.
My religion, your religion.
[Myk's Verse]
Lungs blackened from this filth that I'm breathing.
Polluted phrases are the kill of the season.
My ears bleed and in turn I speak treasons,
Weaving through a system that dubs realists as heathens.
Like the cigarettes I'm 'chained' to, wicked words can be the devil in
Disguise that thrive off of maiming you.
But who's blaming who?
Never are we the ones.
We point the finger at the skies and the chosen 'son'.
All my senses are killing my innocence.
Cruel inventions are killing my innocence.
No innocence is killing your innocence.
My innocence, your innocence.
[Tablo's Verse]
Blame it on terror. Computer error.
The east and west coast and the post-consumer era.
The mayor, the president. The air, the elements.
Whatever's relevant but never look in to your mirror.
What you want, what you need is to be blameless.
Don't blame the DJ, it's the playlist. Cause blame is a slutty word.
Ex-planation, ex-ecution, ex-cuse share the same 'ex'.
[Mithra's Verse]
You don't wanna know the sinner.
You don't wanna know the killer. Because it's you.
Television is stalling evolution.
Medication is stalling evolution.
Evolution is stalling revolution. Evolution, revolution.
Collaboration, the start of revolution.
My decision, the start of revolution.
Revolution, the start of evolution. Revolution, evolution.
