Powder

[Verse 1: Bones]
Sick animals deceased, riding interstates
Off the truck to the market, now your dinner plate
And you think you clean
None of my labels read BHT
Plant based proteins, slow me like morphine
Everything saturated, everything for me
For you if you want it to
I know it's hard 'cause the humans fucked up the loop
Sick people spend money, why the fuck you look astonished?
What the fuck's a business wanting other than profit, bitch? Nothing
Just breathe, don't think too deep
Where the undertow heavy and the current don't leave
Under trees where the shade bring safety
All my mother hoped was that I got home safely
BPA free bottles on the counter
Too cashed as of lately, I don't wanna think about, I

[Hook]
Know what you saying, I know what you saying, I know what you saying
Know what you saying, I know what you saying, I know what you saying
Know what you saying, I know what you saying, I know what you saying
Know what you saying, I know what you saying, I know what you saying

[Verse 2: Bones]
Stop with the speaking 'cause I done heard everything
Don't come too close to me, boy, I hurt anything
Don't wanna be here, but thank you for letting me
Look in the mirror and think "am I what's best for me?"
Raised in the place where it's best if you die
Nothing there's enough to keep you alive
Even if you do find work
You'll still be living in a town made of dirt
Fresh grain from the best plains
At the shows head-banging till it's neck pain
Next blunt, next night then the next day
I'm cashed till I exit, let me explain
No phone, no number, no conversation
Blood creeping through my veins with such contemplation
Do we wanna let him live? Hell no
They could struggle till they go, but they'll never be BONES

[Hook]
Know what you saying, I know what you saying, I know what you saying
Know what you saying, I know what you saying, I know what you saying
Know what you saying, I know what you saying, I know what you saying
Know what you saying, I know what you saying, I know what you saying

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.
