[Chorus: RoZe]
When I woke up this morning and the haters were up on me
I just told 'em stay up outta my way
Because I got a real bad temper, it's the middle of September
I don't think you wanna catch my case
Man, if you do so much as touch me, then it's bound to get ugly
Where police gon' end up all in my face
So, to eliminate the problem, I pop a bottle and yell out "Sayonara" and "Have a nice day"

[Verse 1: Abstract]
How could I know what it's like?
(How could I know what it's like?)
How could I know other life?
Know a lotta artists who don't like to bring it to light
And I'm included in that, I ain't sayin' it's right
But it's been pushed out the news
Don't look like change will happen soon
Donald Trump is all that they talk about, I'm tired of it too
They only talkin' 'bout racism when a city's burning up
When cops are gettin' shot, and when the shooters gettin' caught
Peaceful protest rarely get a mention, y'all demented
This could be prevented
Y'all sensationalize the violence just to get a check in
What's the message?
Only gettin' heard when you draw the weapon
You wonder why these people gettin' hurt
You ain't learned your lesson
Interview yourselves, goddamn it, that might answer questions
Look at how you rep it, what's projected, fuck you Fox News!
Y'all won't ever get it, so I gotta step in
White man from the 307, tellin' y'all I'm fed up with it!

[Chorus: RoZe]
When I woke up this morning and the haters were up on me
I just told 'em stay up outta my way
Because I got a real bad temper, it's the middle of September
I don't think you wanna catch my case
Man, if you do so much as touch me, then it's bound to get ugly
Where police gon' end up all in my face
So, to eliminate the problem, I pop a bottle and yell out "Sayonara" and "Have a nice day"

[Verse 2: Abstract]
Word to RoZe, I'll never relate to that
Might get pulled over, they check my ID and hit the gas
All these divisions, race, religion, economic class
How are we free till realities can overlap?
I've known what it's like to live 'round dollars on dollars
And I know what's it like to see that money get smaller
And I know what it's like to live with and without God
But I'll never know life at systematical odds
Fucked how the system has played with all of our minds
Wish that we could see each other through a child's eyes
No prejudice instilled, manipulation of the wheel
One world, under one sun
Over one race that is human
We fight amongst ourselves, like, what the hell are we doing?
Shit is so outlandish while we fuckin' up the planet
Fightin' over someone's color while our planet's in the red
A miracle in a sunbeam yeah, y'all know what I've said

[Chorus: RoZe]
When I woke up this morning and the haters were up on me
I just told 'em stay up outta my way
Because I got a real bad temper, it's the middle of September
I don't think you wanna catch my case
Man, if you do so much as touch me, then it's bound to get ugly
Where police gon' end up all in my face
So, to eliminate the problem, I pop a bottle and yell out "Sayonara" and "Have a nice day"
When I woke up this morning and the haters were up on me
I just told 'em stay up outta my way
Because I got a real bad temper, it's the middle of September
I don't think you wanna catch my case
Man, if you do so much as touch me, then it's bound to get ugly
Where police gon' end up all in my face
So, to eliminate the problem, I pop a bottle and yell out "Sayonara" and "Have a nice day"

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.
