[Chorus: RoZe]
People starin' at me every way that I go (Way that I go)
They try to judge me when they don't even know (Don't even know)
Don't have all my story, just what only they're told (Only they're told)
'Cause they feel they should expose
Me for all I have and all I've gained this year
Everything I've said and all I've ever did, yeah, yeah

[Post-Chorus: Abstract]
They say they know
But they don't know a thing
They say they know
But they don't know a thing

[Verse 1: Abstract]
I come from a small town
So a little bit of talk gon' go round
But that's okay, I'm on my way
Never slowed down, I did it my way
Came out the town, hit the highway
All for the town where my heart stay
Now I'm in the city, went overseas and they ridin' with me
Met up with fans out in Norway
Five thousands miles from my old ways; that's a lot of distance from the old days
Lot of difference couple years make
Not a minute that I would trade
Not a second that I could change

[Bridge: Abstract]
Everything that I went through made me everything that I am
They say life is what happens when you've been busy making other plans
I just learned who I was through doin' all that I done
Livin' off what I live for and I live for what I love, yeah

[Chorus: RoZe]
People starin' at me every way that I go (Way that I go)
They try to judge me when they don't even know (Don't even know)
Don't have all my story, just what only they're told (Only they're told)
'Cause they feel they should expose
Me for all I have and all I've gained this year
Everything I've said and all I've ever did, yeah, yeah

[Post-Chorus: Abstract]
They say they know
But they don't know a thing
They say they know
But they don't know a thing

[Verse 2: Abstract]
I know I came a long way
From recordin' raps on a laptop in my driveway
You know I came a long way
From vengeful lyrics spewin' outta heartache
Now a days I'm closer with my family than I ever been
Livin' in the city, got a new girl, and she lovin' all of this
Got the best team, chase the best dreams; got a circle that I trust
They talk to us about makin' it, but I think I'm on the cuff
But that ain't what it's been 'bout
Nah, this journey's shaped who I am
They say life is what happens when you've been busy makin' other plans
Went international off of passion, oh
This too good to be life
Lookin' out the window on the way home
So much went into that flight, yeah

[Chorus: RoZe]
People starin' at me every way that I go (Way that I go)
They try to judge me when they don't even know (Don't even know)
Don't have all my story, just what only they're told (Only they're told)
'Cause they feel they should expose
Me for all I have and all I've gained this year
Everything I've said and all I've ever did, yeah, yeah

[Outro: RoZe]
Yeah, mmm, yeah

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.
