[Intro: Mickey Shiloh]
Why you gotta go right now, why you gotta go right now?
Why you gotta—why you gotta go right now?

[Chorus: Mickey Shiloh]
I've been drinkin', I've been smokin', tryna to forget you
I've been thinkin' every moment since the day I met you
I can't let it go right now, why you gotta go right now? Yeah
Can't let it go right now, why you gotta go right now?
Why, why, why? Why, why, why?
Why you gotta go right now, right now?
Why you gotta go right now, why you gotta—why you gotta go right now?
Why, why, why? Why, why, why?
Why you gotta go right now, right now?
Why you gotta go, go?
Why you gotta go right now?

[Verse 1: Abstract]
This for my girl when she back at home
Know the time's coming when I'll be out on the road
Doing what I gotta do and stacking shows
This was everything I wanted and I know you know
This is all for us, this the way that I invest
Know a 401k what you getting from a desk
Trying to stack 401k off of doing this
By the time next year's up talking nothing less (Nothing less)
Remember renting fairgrounds for a show (Show)
Remember stressing, I was venting on these hoes (Hoes)
Remember home never feeling like home
Now it's props everywhere I go, it's outta my control
Hit my home newspaper up, they ain't even give a fuck
I'm the biggest out the town, watch a year switch 'em up
I won't answer any calls, I don't need the love at all
I did it on my own, you're the ones who took the loss
Homemade studio, self-made hype
I got ten damn albums 'cause my team's so tight
And my team's worldwide and my fans are too
Guerrilla with the promo stickin' like gorilla glue
Switch the flow up for the track, put the world on my back
I'ma go and see the world, then I'll bring it all back
When I'm straight with the cash we can do it all again
Call it second world tour, bringin' baby girl then

[Chorus: Mickey Shiloh]
I've been drinkin', I've been smokin', tryna to forget you
I've been thinkin' every moment since the day I met you
I can't let it go right now, why you gotta go right now? Yeah
Can't let it go right now, why you gotta go right now?
Why, why, why? Why, why, why?
Why you gotta go right now, right now?
Why you gotta go right now, why you gotta—why you gotta go right now?
Why, why, why? Why, why, why?
Why you gotta go right now, right now?
Why you gotta go, go?
Why you gotta go right now?

[Verse 2: Abstract]
Haven't been home with the fam nine months
Lyrics in my song's how my mother's keeping up
Phone call, Thanksgiving, know I'll see 'em in a month
Know I'm out here in the city I'm just tryna keep in touch
There for me from the jump
Know they got a lot of flack
'Cause their son put a whole lotta faith in his path
Balling on the doubters, success pay 'em back
Know my parents proud of me, Mom bragging real fast
(I'm everything I wanted)
Can't crash now, front page, kill stage, I'm the man now
New place, same pace, I'm a standout
Seeing old haters smiling with hands out
But you never rooted for me (You never rooted for me)
Know your roots, they ain't part of the tree (Know your roots, they ain't part of the tree)
You ain't part of the family please (Please)
So why the hell would I branch out?

[Outro]
(People gonna act like you owe them somethin')
I'ma leave you standing with your hands out
(When they didn't help you get to where you are, at all)
Why the hell would I branch out?
(If you weren't part of my tree)
I'ma leave you standing with your hands out
(If you weren't there rooting for me)
'Cause why in the hell would I branch out?

[Chorus: Mickey Shiloh]
I've been drinkin', I've been smokin', tryna to forget you
I've been thinkin' every moment since the day I met you
I can't let it go right now, why you gotta go right now? Yeah
Can't let it go right now, why you gotta go right now?
Why, why, why? Why, why, why?
Why you gotta go right now, right now?
Why you gotta go right now, why you gotta—why you gotta go right now?
Why, why, why? Why, why, why?
Why you gotta go right now, right now?
Why you gotta go, go?
Why you gotta go right now?

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.
