[Verse 1]
Check it
In my room feeling ruined like Pompeii
Just trying to get my head on straight, through all the way
Thinking about the day, the last time I saw your face
I only wish I could've told you come with me on the plane
Makes me wanna murder, cry, and love all in one
Emotion, promise I will always be there for your son
Sometimes I just wanna switch roles and change gears
Like I wish that I was gone and you were right here
Emotion, mind overflowin'
I wish that I could turn it off but it keep going
I wish that I could hit the brake, but I keep rolling
And if they talking down, prepare for the chosen one
You've just begun, I been
Doing this shit since Nick had the blimp
You too new to shit to be a threat
BONES sneeze on the track and knock you off the map
Like that

[Hook]
(You know I don't sleep much)
Midnight and it's hard to breathe
(You know I don't sleep much)
Can't remember the last time I dreamed
(You know I don't sleep much)
Midnight and it's hard to breathe
(You know I don't sleep much)

[Verse 2]
You wanna step? Better learn how to battle
Sucka MC's get slammed like gavels
When words do travel and cases unravel
Now you caught up with Five years in Federal
Security expose your insecurities
If I show you the realest me you will faint up on the scene, capisce
Off the leash I'm a freak, put on a beat and I eat
I throw me a new rapper that think he fucking with me
I destroy, here come the noise
Came to get down, bad boy like Detroit
Tell them I breathe the same since I been in it
Hit the ribbon before they even start
Bitch I'm finished
Check it

[Hook]
(You know I don't sleep much)
Midnight and it's hard to breath
(You know I don't sleep much)
Can't remember the last time I dreamed
(You know I don't sleep much)
Midnight and it's hard to breath
(You know I don't sleep much)

Elmo Kennedy O'Connor (b. January 11th, 1994), popularly known as BONES (formerly Th@ Kid), is an underground rapper from Muir Beach, CA. He is one of the four members of the “Seshollowaterboyz” and has actively released music under several other aliases, such as surrenderdorthy, OREGONTRAIL, and Ricky A Go-Go.

During his childhood, he and his family moved to the small town of Howell, Michigan where he attended school. Eventually, he dropped out at the age of 16 to pursue rap music. His brother, Elliot O'Connor, now Bones' manager, suggested Elmo come live with him in Los Angeles, California. There, he recorded most of his mixtapes and eventually met Xavier Wulf, Chris Travis, and Eddy Baker, people he eventually toured and performed with under their collective name SeshHollowWaterboyz (SHWB). He is of Irish ancestry and also the grandson of actor Robert Culp.

He’s known for his “emo rap” style of music, which is labeled as strictly his own, as well as the rapid rate he releases music (including 100 music videos and over 50 mixtapes), his resistance to joining major record labels, and charging money for his music, despite major interest by many.
