[Chorus: RoZe]
They gon' try to hate on you
Just ignore everything they say
Don't listen to nobody
And never be afraid
'Cause you don't know when it could be your day
Never listen to nobody (yeah)
Nobody, nobody, nobody, no
Nobody, nobody
I don't listen to nobody
Nobody, nobody, nobody, no
Nobody, nobody
You'd be better off if you listened to nobody

[Verse 1: Abstract]
Takin' trips 'cause I never tripped on what they said
If you speakin' from your heart, naysayers gon' aim for your head
Haters gon' mess with your vision, keep you up laying in bed
But know you gon' do this for you, 'cause you never did this for them
Sword was the mightiest pen, you lifted it right out the stone
Destiny's choosing you 'cause the blade was made for you to own
Words cut deeper than any blade that a smith can mold
First person reference, swung it reckless in my adolescence, so I should know
Took the heat right out the air, every breath was cold
But now I know
Negativity toxic as dropkicks in a mosh pit
Every day is Halloween, skeletons in my closet
Monsters under my bed, they tryna get in my head
Till I wake up in the morning and forget what they said
So don't listen to nobody, sometimes even yourself
'Cause the darker parts of the mind aren't too eager to help
So just know

[Chorus: RoZe]
They gon' try to hate on you
Just ignore everything they say
Don't listen to nobody
And never be afraid
'Cause you don't know when it could be your day
Never listen to nobody (yeah)
Nobody, nobody, nobody, no
Nobody, nobody
I don't listen to nobody
Nobody, nobody, nobody, no
Nobody, nobody
You'd be better off if you listened to nobody

[Verse 2: Abstract]
Such is life, such a vice, such a gift
Such is mine, such a movie, such a script, such a trip
I just flew overseas to meet the whole damn team
Woulda never got to do this if you swayed my dreams
Craig and I been working since I hit 18
And Drumma and I made a couple hits you seen
Blulake and I turned our lives to movie scenes
Crazy plan A turned into the whole A-Team, what that mean?
Brought together by the power of music
To my vision and my fans: I will stay the truest
They got me moving, no label behind the movement
Day job to keep me grounded, the sound is always improving
Small town kid used to dream too big
Hope I taught a small town you can't dream too big
What we got on the way, our greatest project to date
We came together to make it, promise it's worth all the wait
So...

[Chorus: RoZe]
They gon' try to hate on you
Just ignore everything they say
Don't listen to nobody
And never be afraid
'Cause you don't know when it could be your day
Never listen to nobody (yeah)
Nobody, nobody, nobody, no
Nobody, nobody
I don't listen to nobody
Nobody, nobody, nobody, no
Nobody, nobody
You'd be better off if you listened to nobody

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.
