Released: March 19, 2012

Songwriter: Abstract

[Verse 1]
They say life cannot penetrate death
Why, I've seen flowers rise from the cracks in the cement
They say war is what makes freedom ring
Seems they forgot about Martin Luther King
In this crazy age we forget everything's possible
Many kids have dreams, but their haters tell 'em let 'em go
So much talent has been shot
People bein' who they are, gettin' told that they're not
People gettin' scared someone's gonna take the spot
No matter how good you are, they gonna go take a shot, so
Yeah, I ain't gonna lie, I've had days when I don't even wanna try

[Chorus]
But if I die before I make it
Remember, the future's yours
You're the one who shapes it (yeah)
'Cause you're only doin' you
Be what you wanna be no matter what they tell you
'Cause when you tell 'em that you're startin' to be somethin'
They start to realize that they really doin' nothin', yeah, yeah
They really doin' nothin', yeah, yeah
Disregard it, 'cause you somethin'

[Verse 2]
Everybody's caught in location
It ain't about skill, it's about where you stayin'
Which side you're reppin', hoes in your connections
No street cred when you reppin' the 307
But I stayin' real, spittin' 'bout what I feel
The hood, guns, and thugs just never been my deal
I ain't tryna act like I was born on the pavement
I didn't grow up in the jungles of the cement
So they say I'll never make it as a rapper from the west
You know that while I'm here, I'ma give it my best

[Chorus]
But if I die before I make it
Remember, the future's yours
You're the one who shapes it
'Cause you're only doin' you
Be what you wanna be no matter what they tell you
'Cause when you tell 'em that you're startin' to be somethin'
Then they start to realize that they really doin' nothin', yeah, yeah
They really doin' nothin', yeah, yeah
Disregard it, 'cause you somethin'

[Chorus]
'Cause if I die before I make it
Remember, the future's yours
You're the one who shapes it
'Cause you're only doin' you
Be what you wanna be no matter what they tell you
'Cause when you tell 'em that you're startin' to be somethin'
They start to realize that they really doin' nothin', oh, oh
They really doin' nothin', oh, oh
Just go and disregard it, 'cause you somethin'
'Cause you somethin'

[Outro]
Never ever give up on the shit you want so bad that it hurts
No matter what people tell you or what's up
They're gonna try to bring you down
You can't let 'em
Good luck to everyone
Peace

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.
