[Verse 1: Arizona Zervas]
Just had a call with Atlantic
I got 'em all in a panic
All in my ear, they know it's my year
Just get me a chair, I can't stand it
They know that I'ma be poppin'
With all of this fire I'm droppin'
I am so nice, no red and blue lights, but you know that they gonna cop it, yeah
Back on my bullshit, back in my zone
I got these labels all hitting my phone
I got my fans, I don't give a damn, bro, I just be doing this shit on my own
Started with nothing I made it to something, now I just been growin' and growin', yeah
I'm gettin' older, my bars gettin' colder
Yeah, they say I flow like it's snowin'
Now I drink some to keep balance
These tings loving my talents, heh
She keeps sending me Texas, your girl a cowboy, no Dallas, ha!
Bet that went over your head, yeah!
I bet that you did not notice (no!), yeah!
I see my life through a lens (woo!)
You have been way out of focus, uh!
I'm taking my time, my name on the line, no, you will not get that from me
They need to chill, and I need a mill
Bro, I am not working for free, yeah
I spit these facts, ain't taking it back
'Cause I got the buzz like I'm tasting the jack
I do the walking while you do the talking
And I'm making moves while you taking a nap, agh!

[Chorus: Abstract]
I gotta let 'em know
Industry look like a puppet show
Who's pullin' your strings?
Whose phone did you ring?
I have no Geppetto, I'm on my own!
I came in knowing nobody
Now the whole team in the lobby
Labels got me on the phone
But offers ain't even close

[Verse 2: Abstract]
Nah, I'm gonna need a lot more than that
So that's good day, I'll tip my cap
Seen the type of cats you workin' with
No, it ain't been workin', sinkin' ship
All their songs been boring since the hit
Got the whole world snoring on your pitch
Coulda saved y'all time, ain't that a bitch?
They went viral over night, one-night stand gone before the morning
When y'all gonna finally get to learnin'?
Though their candle's lit, no wax for burnin'
They ain't here for longevity, zero integrity
Gotta be kiddin' me, hits? I got seventy
I'm on the mezzanine looking down on it like "Damn,"
"They shoulda came with a plan"
If you sign me, sign the whole team
Rappers actin' like we siamese
We are not the same, I got hits in every genre of the game
Folk on my album it's gettin' plays
Voicemail on my phone, but I make 'em wait
I ain't pullin' my chips, no, I came to play
I mean, look at the hand that I made, I'm okay!

[Bridge: Abstract]
This ain't Tolkien, why would I have to return the ring?
Maybe I'll jump to the third, 'cause now it's Return of the King
This is on purpose
I swear I'm planning out everything
I'm a step ahead, put the talk to bed
Orbit with the heat, planets in my head, agh!

[Chorus: Abstract]
I gotta let 'em know
Industry look like a puppet show
Who's pullin' your strings?
Whose phone did you ring?
I have no Geppetto, I'm on my own!
I came in knowing nobody
Now the whole team in the lobby
Labels got me on the phone
But offers ain't even close

[Outro: Abstract]
I gotta let 'em know
Industry look like a puppet show
Who's pullin' your strings?
Whose phone did you ring?
I have no Geppetto, I'm on my own
I came in knowing nobody
Now the whole team in the lobby
Labels got me on the phone
But offers ain't even close

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.
