[Intro]
They never believed in me
But I never believed 'em
And I ain't here for the cash though
I'm just here for the freedom

[Verse 1]
Ride through in a hatchback
Juked out in that all black
Moon Five Two on a snapback
'Cause I move that, son, I own that
That's empire, that's buildin' up
Got a lot but can't get enough
Hotdoggin', I'm catchin' up
Y'all better start on restin' up
We the ones who are you to us
You a liability, bitches kill me
You were blind to it, now you feel me—that's braille
That's real, doing bigger numbers than your major deal
You still thinkin' you a major deal
Took a dream, then I took it overseas; any y'all even playing in the field?
From the 307, homie; y'all ain't even get it, homie
They ain't done it like this where I'm from
Went home, I seen rappers coming up
Look at what we did, doing what we done
I went home, everybody showing love
It's a whole new world showing up
Was a whole different vibe growing up

[Verse 2]
Went home just to open up a show
Little liquor in me, I was on a roll
Crew with me, supposed to get 'em in for free
Bouncer with the tickets didn't know me
Snapped on him like old decks on 5-0 grinds
Second that I realized how much that the ego blinds
Apologize for that, my bad, I musta lost the cap
Everybody got a dark side, sometimes the empire gotta strike back
But I feel like I'm the new hope
Episode 2, y'all be the clones
My future set in that carbonite like I'm Han Solo
Used to trip on my ex thing
Now I mob through like a X-Wing
I'm so galactic, so Galactus
Came here to swallow up the planet
Modern Marvel, hero-villain
These days I can't tell the difference
These days I'm on something different
I'm so involved with my current mission

[Bridge 1]
They say tell us what we don't know
Got flows kicking like a dojo
It was all a hunchback, they ain't Quasimodo
Hit me up for features, but I'm dyin' with the quote though

[Bridge 2]
This my flex track, Luther if I'm Lex track
This the rise of Abstract, me gettin' the last laugh
Past that, past rap, I don't need my past back
You tryna figure out your dreams, I'm on fast track

[Chorus]
I remember wanting everyone to know my name (I did)
I got love for everyone who came before the fame (I do)
I promise to keep it going, it'll never change (I will)
A Team Worldwide, truly here to stay (I said)
I remember wanting everyone to know my name (I did)
I got love for everyone who came before the fame (I do)
I promise to keep it going, it'll never change (I will)
A Team Worldwide, truly here to stay

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.
