[Chorus]
Who the man, who the man now? (won't you tell me?)
Said I'm the man, I'm the man now (won't you tell 'em?)
Who the man, who the man now? (won't you tell me?)
Said I'm the man, I'm the man now

[Verse 1]
Lookin' back, like, what a year
Always knew we'd get to here
Never wanted overnight
Went to war to win the fight
Still workin' like I ain't been heard yet
Write like I ain't said a word yet
Labels ain't seein' my worth yet
But it's all love, I ain't served yet
Couple weeks of summer overseas
'Bout to finally get to meet the team
Been a long division but we steady addin' up
Seen the vision seein' what they see in us
Tired of hearin' comparisons
There's nobody like me, be aware of it
I gotta do it for me, I gotta do it for them
Gotta do it for my family
Go get us back up on our feet again
These days I invest more; I buy less J's, I take less L's
So if you pass it to me I'm good
Life got me higher than backwoods
I'm just doin' everything I should
So when I say this, know I knew I would
I knew I would

[Chorus]
Who the man, who the man now? (won't you tell me?)
Said I'm the man, I'm the man now (won't you tell 'em?)
Who the man, who the man now? (won't you tell me?)
Said I'm the man, I'm the man now
Who the man, who the man now? (won't you tell me?)
Said I'm the man, I'm the man now (won't you tell 'em?)
Who the man, who the man now? (won't you tell me?)
Said I'm the man, I'm the man now

[Verse 2]
I got a girl who with me for me
I got a team who believe in the dream
I got a family who want me to win
I got some friends who with me till the end
I got some fans who be ride or die
I got some music to change your life
I know I do 'cause it's changin' mine
Saying I ain't the man woulda been a lie
Used to write about it, now I see that shit for real
You know I been on a roll, so why reinvent the wheel?
I ain't got no time to stall, guess I hold the pressure in
Game been foreplaying for ages, think I'm bout to get it in
I'm the man you took for granted, I'm the one you called a clown
Now the fanbase four times bigger than the town
By the chorus you may think my head got too big for the crown
But this ain't 'bout the ego, this 'bout lovin' what you found

[Chorus]
Who the man, who the man now? (won't you tell me?)
Said I'm the man, I'm the man now (won't you tell 'em?)
Who the man, who the man now? (won't you tell me?)
Said I'm the man, I'm the man now
Who the man, who the man now? (won't you tell me?)
Said I'm the man, I'm the man now (won't you tell 'em?)
Who the man, who the man now? (won't you tell me?)
Said I'm the man, I'm the man now

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.
