[Chorus]
Even if there's not a problem I would probably overthink it
'Til there is, is, is
Alright when it gets night
But when it's bright I see this life for just what it is, is, is
Feeling like my body light enough to lift up, sighting's heighten
Then I turn back into mist
Tectonics under pressure, hands holding onto weapons
Yelling, "Do away with the men"

[Verse]
Skeletons dropping like Geronimo
See, we just animals
But dialect can't justify what is critical
It goes beyond words
I'm out and onwards
Above the young herds
Their screams I overheard

[Chorus]
Even if there's not a problem I would probably overthink it
'Til there is, is, is
Alright when it gets night
But when it's bright I see this life for just what it is, is, is
Feeling like my body light enough to lift up, sighting's heighten
Then I turn back into mist
Tectonics under pressure, hands holding onto weapons
Yelling, "Do away with the men" (Yuh)

[Bridge]
They be wondering where I be at (Yuh)
Boy, I'm somewhere that you'll never get (Yuh)
They be wondering where I be at (Yuh)
Boy, I'm somewhere that you'll never get

[Outro]

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.
