[Chorus]
This Mr. Live a Little, Drink a Little
Nah, fuck it, Drink a Lot
Think a little, write a little
Freestyle on the spot
Work for what I want
And love what I got
If you say you do it better, then you probably not (Not)
This Mr. Live a Little, Drink a Little
Nah, fuck it, Drink a Lot
Think a little, write a little
Freestyle on the spot
Work for what I want
And love what I got (Got)
If you say you do it better, then you probably not (Not)

[Verse]
Who you know who got fifty tracks? (Ain't even released a mixtape)
Fuck hate, keep your mouth shut like motherfuckin' duct tape
Fuck fakes; ain't talkin' intercourse, I'm talkin' delete and erase
Always out of line so I knock 'em outta place, like
Bitch get on my level, 'cause stoopin' to yours I'm never
Same species impossible, 'cause I'm just too clever
Yeah you goin' to get her while I'm helpin' her get it together
Peas of a pod; birds of a feather
That's some shit, so I live like whatever
I make trends like pound signs
I take shots with no nines
I kill rappers with more crimes
Put you behind my bars
'Cause not one of your cars
Could put your wheels inside my lines
Or should I say my tracks?
Knickknack or patty wack
All these rapper's tracks is mad wack
They knickknacks is not that
I'm on that real shit, kickin' facts
Them kids will be like, "Who is that?"
You ain't even gotta ask, it's Abstract
Just hit up with the 307 on the map
With a dream and a black couple t-shirts in the backpack
Showin' this, funny why I grab words—where they at?
"Why?" 'Cause no one's done that

[Chorus]
This Mr. Live a Little, Drink a Little
Nah, fuck it, Drink a Lot
Think a little, write a little
Freestyle on the spot
Work for what I want
And love what I got (Got)
If you say you do it better, then you probably not (Not)
This Mr. Live a Little, Drink a Little
Nah, fuck it, Drink a Lot
Think a little, write a little
Freestyle on the spot
Work for what I want
And love what I got (Got)
If you say you do it better, then you probably not (Not, not)

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.
