[Pre-Chorus]
I said you kids best show respect, said no one done it like we done (like we)
Came out the Hole and got the whole world showin' love, oh (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Girl, we workin' over here (you know!)
So whyn't you work it over here? (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Feelin' so tall
Measure me up 'cause my back's to the wall (to the wall, wall, wall)
This shit is happy, I'm buildin' but I know they pray for the fall
(Feelin' so) feelin' so tall
(Feelin' so) feelin' so tall
Livin' a life that you don't understand and you couldn't at all

[Chorus]
I'm feelin' tall, tall, tall (tall)
Know they wanna see me fall, fall, fall (you know)
But we ain't really stressin' over here
My perception's twenty stories from up here
I'm feelin' tall, tall, tall (tall)
Know they wanna see me fall, fall, fall (you know)
But we ain't really stressin' over here
My perception's twenty stories from up here (okay)

[Verse 1]
Let the beat drop out, you would cop out
Get you knocked out, yeah, man's sayin', "Lights out"
Hatin' on a kid comin' up all nice
Not one tape, two tape—two more; strike's out!
You don't wanna run that bass? Like, hit the track!
You don't wanna run that race?
Couldn't run that pace? Like, bring it back!
Can't say it to my face? Like
This is my vent
My place to forget that's forever and always
Built a home of emotion I've coast in alone and confine in the hallways
And only did those who do visit should know that I love them in all ways
For now I stay post twenty stories, that most don't, which I remain always
That's a fast flow
For those who don't know
Sorry, feel I gotta coach hoes
Mainstream full of bad acts, spread the boatloads
All 'cause y'all 'bouta write these [?] with your parents' cards in your motherfuckin' cell phones
Motherfuckin' hell no
Not my team, they into that real though
Call the track fire, they talkin' the real smoke
Call they raps lies, they talkin' the real broke
Hooks crack with the flow, I would kill for a fans
White kids goin' broke, payin' the meal for
They say truth with a voice fined to rise above all
I guess that's a reason I'm feelin' so tall

[Chorus]
I'm feelin' tall, tall, tall (tall)
Know they wanna see me fall, fall, fall (you know)
But we ain't really stressin' over here
My perception's twenty stories from up here
I'm feelin' tall, tall, tall (tall)
Know they wanna see me fall, fall, fall (you know)
But we ain't really stressin' over here
My perception's twenty stories from up here (okay)

[Verse 2]
Couldn't get to my height
Not with the ladder or rope or a light
No one know what it's like
Tryna take off while life keep delayin' my flight
Rode that internet wave
Man, you don't know what the internet saved
Gave me somethin' to vent through
Fans understood while they said "I don't get you"
Now I'm out of they face
Country to country, they reppin' the A's
Man, look what we made
Word to my fans, I am what you create
Twenty stories and buildin'
Still a long way to the top
But look what we already got

[Pre-Chorus]
I said you kids best show respect, said no one done it like we done (like we)
Came out the Hole and got the whole world showin' love, oh (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Girl, we workin' over here (you know!)
So whyn't you work it over here? (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Feelin' so tall
Measure me up 'cause my back's to the wall (to the wall, wall, wall)
This shit is happy, I'm buildin' but I know they pray for the fall
(Feelin' so) feelin' so tall
(Feelin' so) feelin' so tall
Livin' a life that you don't understand and you couldn't at all

[Chorus]
I'm feelin' tall, tall, tall (tall)
Know they wanna see me fall, fall, fall (you know)
But we ain't really stressin' over here
My perception's twenty stories from up here
I'm feelin' tall, tall, tall (tall)
Know they wanna see me fall, fall, fall (you know)
But we ain't really stressin' over here
My perception's twenty stories from up here (okay)

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.
