[Chorus: Abstract]
You thought I fell off (Okay)
They thought I went soft (No way)
They say what they can
'Cause I do what I want (All day)
Come back every time, they still act surprised
Bodies drop at the top, tell 'em I've arrived
Tell 'em, tell 'em (Tell 'em, tell 'em)
Tell 'em I've arrived
Seventeen, had a dream that kept me alive
Tell 'em, tell 'em (Tell 'em, tell 'em)
Tell 'em I've arrived
Seventeen, had a dream, now I'm livin' mine

[Verse 1: Abstract]
Came up off a dream and a laptop
Open doors for the team like a bellhop
Used to cruise South Park when my shift end
Spark spliffs while I shift through the west end
Now I show up and they all got questions
Back home and you know how the stress gets
Tell the kids from the town with a passion
I'm the proof you can move to the masses
Yeah, they gonna tell you who to be (Lies!)
Don't nobody wanna see you free (Why?)
Everybody sayin' who to be
Now they're tellin' everybody, so everybody repeats
Livin' in a bubble where trouble is self-made
Everyone a lil' sorry for playin' it too safe
So they wanna keep you livin' with them in the same cage
Gotta show 'em that we're tired of livin' the same way
Small town raised but I got it movin' 'cause I know I had to break that mold (Oh yeah)
Mindstate from a high place
Had to shift plates to be Grand as the peaks back home (Oh yeah)
Shift gears when I hit tears
On my tenth year payin' rent in the game, now I live here
All it took was the pain and the passion
What a way to come back from the ashes

[Chorus: Abstract]
You thought I fell off (Okay)
They thought I went soft (No way)
They say what they can
'Cause I do what I want (All day)
Come back every time, they still act surprised
Bodies drop at the top, tell 'em I've arrived
Tell 'em, tell 'em (Tell 'em, tell 'em)
Tell 'em I've arrived
Seventeen, had a dream that kept me alive
Tell 'em, tell 'em (Tell 'em, tell 'em)
Tell 'em I've arrived
Seventeen, had a dream, now I'm livin' mine

[Verse 2: Futuristic]
Yeah
Yo, I arrived (Yeah)
No, not to my surprise (No)
Knew I would blow since I was five (Yeah)
Now that boy shine like a firefly
Can't dim the light when I hold the flame (Yeah)
Coach rappers, now I know the game (Yeah)
Straightjacket 'cause the flow insane (Yeah)
Real life how I wrote the page
My story got started with catchin' bodies
Bend the industry, I spit Pilates
Paper stackin' underneath the mattress now
Can't fold it, no origami
Know who around me, only day ones
Fake, what I stay away from
Safe around me, better stay from 'round me
If you hatin' on me, you get tapped up (Look)
Get paid just to walk in the club
Pop me a bottle, don't talk to a scrub
If you show love, then it's reciprocated
My people done made it, we came from the mud
Remember the days I was makin' a dub
Now it's Kinko's the way that my paper is up
Been droppin' bars since the man was a boy
I was writin' my rhymes when I played in the tub

[Chorus: Abstract]
You thought I fell off (Okay)
They thought I went soft (No way)
They say what they can
'Cause I do what I want (All day)
Come back every time, they still act surprised
Bodies drop at the top, tell 'em I've arrived
Tell 'em, tell 'em (Tell 'em, tell 'em)
Tell 'em I've arrived
Seventeen, had a dream that kept me alive
Tell 'em, tell 'em (Tell 'em, tell 'em)
Tell 'em I've arrived
Seventeen, had a dream, now I'm livin' mine

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.
