[Verse 1]
The place that I grew up was hard to leave
It had everything I loved and hated and in-between
Had visions and intuitions of a west coast theme
But we were smoking synthetic
When I slept, I couldn't dream
So how I'm supposed to see what I know I truly mean
When my eyes are glazed over and my brain can't breathe
When Jane and El left to show me a couple of things
Like you ain't gotta settle with the metal this town breeds
But how do I dash and carve out my own path
When I don't see no problem with livin’ and sleepin’ in trash
It was the highlight of our year to get a quarter ounce back
Finally we had something to release the anger we had
But just as all things do, it started to get old
Everyday on rewind, I played the same old role
Had a chip on my shoulder, almost to the point I would scold
Anyone of my old friends that told me stay home
'Cause they didn't get it and I got that they never would
Don't want to die in a place where the graves are made of mud
What
SESH

[Chorus]
Gotta do, what I got to do, gotta do, what I got to do
Gotta do, what I got to do, gotta do, what I got to do

[Verse 2]
Silence creeps, the violence speaks, I let the
Violin sing so violently I got to
Finally see my dreams will fight for me
Nightmares calling out to me
Smoke, watch the time pass, cash sign eyelids
Gold on my boots, razor blade tucked inside it
Smoke, watch the time pass, cash sign eyelids
Gold on my boots, razor blade tucked inside it

[Outro]
Caring 'bout your money, that's the hardest thing

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.
