[Verse 1]
A heavyweight in this game, there's no disputin' me
SESH broke the laws, yeah, we led the mutiny
You think you're worthy? Then you gotta go and prove to me
Rehashin' my old flows, no, that ain't new to me
And I ain't mad at you, actually it's quite the opposite
Flattered I inspired you, won't judge and say you copying
That's just somethin' I feel I got to go mention
I feel humbled that they blessed me with the crown to begin with
Rolled out the carpet, led me to my throne
Where I can spend the rest of my days as King Bones
No need to bow down, no need to pay tribute
After all, I did this for me and not you
If the planet went deaf, know I'd still be flowin'
Don't need receivers to continue with the bombs I'm throwin'
'Cause dreams grow mould and money always run out
So light the candles, run the bath and relax like Wine’s house
I've seen 'em stunt now but I'm never bummed out
I guess the uppers they were poppin' got 'em all run down
I put this bitch on lockdown, survival of the fittest
Gon' need more than a bust down to bust out

[Chorus]
It goes on and on
Shit never stop 'til I'm dead and gone
And even then, SESH will live on
Two hundred years from now, they'll be singing along
It goes on and on
Shit never stop 'til I'm dead and gone
And even then, SESH will live on
Two hundred years from now, they'll be singing along

[Verse 2]
Break it down to a science for me, I got to know
Life comes at you quick when you livin' in slow-mo
When every door close and you hear the double bolt
I suppose you gotta flow to hold on, whatever rows your boat
I've always had a hard time with cuttin' my losses
Years past, life goes, still I'm here, dreamin' 'bout ya
Wake up feelin' puzzled, I don't know what I feel
Some days, I just wanna get numb and not feel
But I know that I got to, no matter how hard it is
Tears drop, time don't stop, there's no pausin' it
More than not, I feel this gift is a punishment
Everyone die alone, green light, there's no stoppin' it

[Chorus]
Goes on and on
Shit never stop 'til I'm dead and gone
And even then, SESH will live on
Two hundred years from now, they'll be singing along
It goes on and on
Shit never stop 'til I'm dead and gone
And even then, SESH will live on
Two hundred years from now, they'll be singing along

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.
