[Intro]
Alright, yo, hold up, hold up
This for all the lyricists out there
I got one more thing
So alright, here we go

[Verse]
I said I'm livin' on top of the world of midgets
Poppin' up desktops like popups and widgets
Yeah, I'll be up in it, but I know the finish won't take more than a minute
In fifty years, they'll still say no one done it it like I did it
'Cause ain't no one can fathom the way that I'm gonna hit it
Part the seas to the masses, like an atom the way I split it
I'm the realest the way I spit it
Six deep with a ten deep, fit this right out to the fuckin' finish
Spit a freestyle and kill your writtens
Yeah, they say that new hip-hop a problem and ain't nobody gonna solve it
When they hear my shit, the game, it ain't no question that I got 'em
Risin' to the top 'cause I'm done with chillin' on the bottom
Progressin' to the death of 'em, son, the team is never fallin'

[Outro]
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.
