[Verse]
Alright, alright
Yeah, I'm workin' for the better thing
Ain't sharin' bling, no wedding rings
Just multiplyin' digits in a minute when I rap and sing
No need a rocker closet, I'll be wearing what the mail brings
Flow master, I'm the king
Most these rappers ain't a thing
Artists standin' under me; it's A-Team over everything
A-Team, you know what I mean, yeah
Ain't blowin' up on hash bags, blowin' up on hashtags
Never blowin' up no black mags
Rather blow up on the black mags
Shout out to those who know what I mean
Me, I'm always lookin' clean; beanie always be supreme
'Cause when you're that dude, you just try to pass through
But people yellin' out your name, flamin' that they know you
Those who don't support for shit, they actin' like it's you they with
I don't even need a list, I know who all deserves it
It's the crew from the beginning who proved that they believed
It's the ones who stayed when everyone else said to leave
Yeah, that right there is the A-Team
Standin' behind the dream no matter the current scene
And when we make it, they'll be makin' all the currency
Hoes love the flow 'cause now they seein' that the current's green
Yeah, they don't see that you're the best
Till the stranger names the road that you're riding on a success
Yeah, but this is something to relax to
Sip a brew, light a jay, maybe smoke a pack too
Abstract crew, shouts to Old Gramps, dude
Fuck the other dudes, yeah, my team is awesome
[Micky, John, and Jason, it's Emigale and Austin?]
Had to do a shoutout, I don't do that often
Lotta more people but they the ones that I'm always with
All the names on one song, to be honest, just wouldn't fit
But regardless, if you with it, you the shit
Check the like button—if you ain't hit it, then you a bitch
Peace!

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.
