[Verse 1]
They be actin' like I'm a different kid
Like the money that I'm makin' is actually gettin' me rich
Lookin' at the fanpage, like, "Damn son, you gettin' big!"
I'm like, "Yeah, but it ain't changin' the that way that I live"
At least not in the way that I'm wantin' it to
Still drive to school, still think that PBR is cool
And my favorite day is still a Saturday
Can't wait to live the life when my favorite is every day
People sayin' when you chasin' dreams you dream your life away
I then ask them, "Then what good is life?"
And they don't know what to say
Yeah, as you can see, I ain't changed
Y'all stood stationary, I been on the next page
You been livin' in the presence, I've been livin' in my future
Cool in high school, then my mind might be a loser
But I know exactly who will be winning
It's the crew who was down with the music from the beginning

[Chorus]
Yeah (because I'm)
Still, still rollin' with the same crew
Ain't shit new, ain't shit new
Because I'm
Still, still rollin' with the same crew
Ain't shit new, ain't shit new
You know I'm
Still, still rollin' with the same crew
Ain't shit new, ain't shit new
You know we
Still, still rollin' with the same crew
Ain't shit new, ain't shit new
Nothin'

[Verse 2]
Rappin' about it, doin' it differently
Young dreamer, doin' it big
Live for what you're gifted, see
Take your talent, multiply by three, you still ain't touchin' me
Livin' inside a dream I'm hopin' is my reality
Livin' while I sleep at night, dyin' as I wake
Know that what I'm doin's right so my success will all be fate
Realest in this life, so I ain't ever down to work with fakes
Most these kids'll break, but I'll finish 'em first, countin' the cake
Yeah, a hero without the cape
Show anyone from anywhere just what your heart can create
Nah, I ain't famous, still I'm kinda gettin' a taste
And the road on which I'm travelin' I never would replace
If you don't get it, let it be
'Cause whether you like it, this is me
'Cause even when I die, still be on your MP3s
Six feet deep, I'm talkin' all you see
Goin' down in history as that MC

[Chorus]
Yeah (because I'm)
Still, still rollin' with the same crew
Ain't shit new, ain't shit new
Because I'm
Still, still rollin' with the same crew
Ain't shit new, ain't shit new
You know I'm
Still, still rollin' with the same crew
Ain't shit new, ain't shit new
You know we
Still, still rollin' with the same crew
Ain't shit new, ain't shit new
Nothin'

[Outro]
A new power is rising! It's victory is at hand!
Abstract-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.
