[Verse 1]
I ain't got to tell you, I be spittin' with the dopest flow
I be spittin' shit that got your minds all in overload
Watchin' the way we do it, on true shit, I'm 'bout to lose it
Say I'm sick, not cocky but, dude, I already knew it
Four mixtapes, goddamn, I need a big break
And I'm about to kill them all if they don't get this shit straight
Illest in the game, shooting flame over just about everything
Fuck you one-flowed lames only spitting for the fame
Wack rap killer flow
Snatch your Mac Miller nose
Substance wannabes
Bustin' these rap filler lines
Shining off of they lies
But with the state of music, I ain't really too surprised
These kids just tryna flex
But they next best couldn't test
What I keep inside of my chest is my heart, and it never rests
Bet my passion couldn't be suppressed
So I always do correct
We about to do this right
You can have whatevers left

[Chorus]
Yeah, walk in, they know me
Yeah, walk in, they know me
Yeah, walk in, they know me
Yeah, walk in, they know me
Yeah, walk in, they know me
Yeah, walk in, they know me
Yeah, walk in, they know me
Yeah, walk in, they know me

[Verse 2]
Gotta let them know swiftly
Shoutout to the people in the A-Team with me
Yeah, I gotta dark side
Spittin' from the far side
Try to follow my flows
Leave you fuckers cross-eyed
'Cause I done it like you never seen
Probably with the team and Supreme, rollin' up a green
Just a day in the life
Hittin' twenty different styles, just a day on the mic
Here's some facts about me you should probably know
My producer Craig McAllister the most versatile
And my team is coming with me when we finally blow
And whenever I diss my ex she takes it all personal, you dig?
Oh, and I hate the pigs
Also those who ratted me, I really hate those kids
But I'm doing good now, so, I couldn't give a shit
'Cause when I walk into a room they know exactly who it is

[Chorus]
Yeah, walk in, they know me
Yeah, walk in, they know me
Yeah, walk in, they know me
Yeah, walk in, they know me
Yeah, walk in, they know me
Yeah, walk in, they know me
Yeah, walk in, they know me
Yeah, walk in, they know me

[Verse 3]
Sharper than they ever seen
Yeah, you know the kid is mean
Let no one come between the dream
Whippin' the flow to get the green
Sicker than illiterates reading the kindergarten kids
Or college kids teaching colleges
Like, who's in charge of this?
Yeah, I'm saying I do it better
Know I'm gonna make it, future self sent me a letter
Said, "What up, how are you?
You'll probably get this never
But just incase you do, know your music lives forever"

[Chorus]
Yeah, walk in, they know me
Yeah, walk in, they know me
Yeah, walk in, they know me
Yeah, walk in, they know me
Yeah, walk in, they know me
Yeah, walk in, they know me
Yeah, walk in, they know me
Yeah, walk in, they know me

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.
