[Chorus: RoZe]
They said that I wouldn't amount to nothing
But look at me now, I get the last laugh
So when people joke and smile, I'll go the extra mile
Just to get the last laugh
They said I wouldn't go nowhere with music
Now I'm tourin' overseas with the last laugh
So go ahead, hate or doubt
I know someway, somehow, I'ma get the last laugh

[Verse 1: Abstract]
How many times did I write out these lines
Just to keep myself goin', convince myself I was fine?
Tried to gift them a vision but way too many were blind
Saw the life they were livin' and knew that couldn't be mine
Knew I was destined for more than breakin' down on that floor
Your kindness taken for weakness will shake you down to your core
Move your eyes to the heavens and wonder, "What was it for?"
That's when I looked to the messages I was spreadin' before
'Cause I still do this for the kids who sit a bit outside the mix
The ones who cope through humor just to fit in for a bit
The ones who come to shows and get too nervous for a pic
'Til we talk and I'm reminded why I truly live for this

[Chorus: RoZe]
They said that I wouldn't amount to nothing
But look at me now, I get the last laugh
So when people joke and smile, I'll go the extra mile
Just to get the last laugh
They said I wouldn't go nowhere with music
Now I'm tourin' overseas with the last laugh
So go ahead, hate or doubt
I know someway, somehow, I'ma get the last laugh

[Verse 2: Abstract]
We get caught up in our dreams, start to live for all our plans
Start forgetting 'bout the present while it's slippin' through our hands
Rarely take a moment to appreciate what is
Future-past is in the mind, the present's all there really is
Got a tattoo on my hand to shove the present in my face
"I'm Here" everywhere I go, I know this life is not a race
The finish line is death—and me, I'd really like to live
So if that ain't in the present, when the hell do I exist?
Yes, I'm pretty blessed to get to live a crazy dream
They were laughin' at the start but now I'm laughin' off the streams
And I'm proud of anyone who knows the power that they hold
But it's the journey, not the destination, where you find the gold

[Chorus: RoZe]
They said that I wouldn't amount to nothing
But look at me now, I get the last laugh
So when people joke and smile, I'll go the extra mile
Just to get the last laugh
They said I wouldn't go nowhere with music
Now I'm tourin' overseas with the last laugh
So go ahead, hate or doubt
I know someway, somehow, I'ma get the last laugh

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.
