[Verse 1]
Live inside of that office
Till the day that I lost it
Ties and button-downs all I got inside my closet
Nine to five, slave for profits
Savin' all for my kids' college
So they can do the same to theirs
Tell me, where's that knowledge?
That I paid for in class, studying up all night
Teachers and desks in a row to live a cubicle life
But I won't live that, no, I won't take it
So in this, I gotta make it
There's a chain, I'm 'bout to break it
That's the only way to save it
'Cause I got a plan now, and I'm scheming
Got a whole fanbase that believes in
Life ain't what we leave when we leave it
Fuck all those who don't seem to see it

[Bridge]
I'm 'bout to show them what it's like to live a life
A life that you can live by
Show them how to do it right

[Chorus]
I could be so normal, live a normal life
But I've been out here tryna live extraordinary life
They try to bring us down, but we're too high in the smoke
Headed for the top, waving like, "Goodbye to you folks," like
Wave-wave goodbye, wave goodbye, we-we
We'll be up here living up in our extraordinary lives
Wave-wave goodbye, wave goodbye, we-we
We'll be up here living up in our extraordinary lives

[Verse 2]
Leave no questions, VIP
Step inside and they know it's me
These girls all notice me
'Cause it's leather jackets and Supreme
Oh, you bros didn't know that?
All my moments be Kodak
These other up-and-comers think, "Where the hell is your nose at?"
Ain't your average run of the mill
Knowin' my path is running with skill
For what they have to be real, I would kill
But, I'm happy where I am at still
Yet, I know my time is coming
I was always meant for somethin'
For now I'm sitting back in awe of everyone who loves it
'Cause it started from a broken heart
Was hated from the very start
Now my songs are playin' 'cross the globe, so I got some blunts to spark
Show you how you to achieve all you want so bad
No matter the negativity, you conquer that
That's fact, 'cause where my home at, it's all laughs
'Cause no one where I'm from has done it the way I have

[Chorus]
I could be so normal, live a normal life
But I've been out here trying to live extraordinary-like
They try to bring us down, but we're too high in the smoke
Headed for the top, waving like "Goodbye to you folks," like
Wave-wave goodbye, wave goodbye, we-we
We'll be up here living up in our extraordinary lives
Wave-wave goodbye, wave goodbye, we-we
We'll be up here living up in our extraordinary lives

Abstract

Growing up in New Jersey, Luke Terkovich, otherwise known as Abstract, was involved with music at an early age. Learning how to play piano, electric guitar, and the drums were Luke’s first involvement with music — and he did it all before 6th grade. With a move across country from New Jersey to Jackson, Wyoming, the distance between learning and playing new instruments got larger. It wasn’t until several years later that Luke began to mess around with freestyling during his high school years spent at Jackson Hole High. Evolving his newly found musical expression into Raised in Jackson, WY, Abstract is known for his immense musical versatility and affinity for providing uplifting music for a turbulent world. With a knack for storytelling, he provides introspective motivation to all who take the time to dive into his work. Notably known for his remix of Ruth Bs Lost Boy “Neverland” which has garnered hundreds of millions of plays on YouTube, his work with Drumma Battalion and Roze, and his 2016 album Something to Write Home About. He heads a collective known as “A Team Worldwide” 5 musicians from 4 different countries. Producers Drumma Battalion of Norway, Blulake of Sweden, Cryo Music of Scotland, and Abstract. Coming off his first overseas tour with YONAS, the ATWW collective is gearing up to drop Abstracts new album/experience late summer 2018.writing detailed lyrics, he began to find that he could vent the stresses of his everyday life through creating music. Slowly progressing through the years of his new town where he calls home; balancing school, life, and music developed Luke to become Abstract.

Trying to find his sound was a young teenager who just looked to get something written down and then translated into music, and eventually rap. Still in his caterpillar stage of metamorphosis was a young Abstract who released his first ever collection of songs, properly named The Dream.

In 2012, through YouTube, Abstract met Craig McAllister, a producer from Glasgow, Scotland. During that period, Abstract was in the midst of working on On My Own Time and was the first time Craig showed up with Abstract. Afterwards, the duo started to mesh extremely well and produced the five projects, Under Lights & Microscopes, A Life To Live By, Dreaming With Eyes Open, The Science Of Feeling Tall, and We Are The Artist.
