[Verse 1]
Throw me in the water, watch me sink to the bottom
Then hold on to my belongings ‘cause you can’t live without them
You keep saying that you love me but what you don’t know about me
Is that I don’t even love myself so how the fuck could I love you?
I don’t need no guns to back me up, I don’t need your love if you got to try
All I really need is nothing, see this life is just a lie
My favorite time is when it’s me in the dark with a beat
Bad thoughts in my head, blunt guts at my feet
Got my blade in the right and some drugs up in my left
Love the sound of the silence I just wish it would never end

[Hook]
Lights down, bass loud, everything stop
When the air gets cold know that Bones is on your block
See the lights down, bass loud, everything stop
It’s the young living legend with another fucking drop

[Verse 2]
Back up in the fucking flow
I ain’t gripping on the scope
I ain’t pimping fucking hoes
I ain’t riding in the Rolls
Looking like a fucking ghost
Gliding like a fucking bat
Doping on the fucking porch
It’s best you do not come with that

[Hook]
Lights down, bass loud, everything stop
When the air gets cold know that Bones is on your block
Lights down, bass loud, everything stop
It’s the young living legend with another fucking drop

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.
