[Intro]
Yeah, I know we goin' be at the top some day
But some days I know we all feel like we're just
Fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin'
Fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin'
Fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin'
Fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin'
Abstract-Abstract

[Verse]
Yeah, I've been up and down
Fumble up this shit till I hate your sound
When you used to spit, they said, "Not right now"
Now I'm doin' work, like, "What's up now?"
Throw me to the back, like, what the hell was that?
Now you tryna act like you always had my back
Do I gotta ask? Is it my time to laugh?
Is it my time to laugh? 'Cause I ain't sure
Is it true when they say that I'm the best with words?
I know where to hit it for my ex, for sure
But it's all good, girl, I got lands to burn
Flowers to lose, because now really music is all that I do
You can take every word I spit as truth
I'm livin' it up, never givin' it up
Livin' our lives when we don't give a fuck
Workin' to get us on until the end
Circle so tight, involve only my friends
Those in the kitchen out gettin' the bread ain't changin' it up
I'll do what I say (I'll do what I say)
Multiplyin' the fans, dividin' the bread
Minimal hands, we more for the friends
Believed in the start, they're here to the end
'Cause all of the others told me how to spit
How I should fit and how to get big
But they don't know shit 'bout the business of this
One thing about fame, it never comes quick
This town and its ignorance makin' me sick
But to my roots and my motive I'll stick
That's to be real, then give me appeal
I'm my own terms, sign the deal

[Chorus]
It's twenty seconds till the last call
Going, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey"
I lie down, you know it's easy
Like we did it over summer long
And I'll be anything you ask and more
Going, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey"
It's not a miracle we needed
And, no, I wouldn't let you think so
Fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin'

[Outro]
A-Team salute!
Shout out to all those behind me
Thank you

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.
