[Intro]
Check it out, yo

[Verse 1]
Every time I kick it, it's off the richter
Ain't nobody sicker, the witness cat-pillar
In my community, I'm something like a pillar
Mister Bones give, you take, that's where we differ
Me and my brothers, lounging at the villa
Rolling up killer while we bump J Dilla
Dissing you might be better, but killing you will be quicker
So I come equipped with the tools I know will bring ya
To your knees, dot your I's, cross your T's
SESH is now in your world and we don't plan to ever leave
You now rocking with the best in the universe
Give the girl you with love, then we give you a hearse

[Chorus]
Better pay respect
The dead man drop bombs, make you break your neck
Better pay respect
The team defy the laws of physics and then we wreck
Better pay respect
The dead man drop bombs, make you break your neck
Better pay respect
The team defy the laws of physics and then we wreck

[Verse 2]
I never had no interest in going platinum
That is for self-congratulators, lacking the passion
They should go give it up, but I promise they won't
They got four, five managers, needin' financial dose
Watch it melt in the light, throw your ice in the sky
Record label take the cake, leave you a slice of the pie
Just enough to buy your drugs and the mansion you like
Now you a slave to a life that ain't treatin' you right (Uh)
The writing's on the wall but most choose to ignore
Ignorance is truly bliss when you know that you done wrong
Deep down, I wish that I could save 'em
But they too far gone, baby, who the fuck raised you?

[Chorus]
Better pay respect
The dead man drop bombs, make you break your neck
Better pay respect
The team defy the laws of physics and then we wreck
Better pay respect
The dead man drop bombs, make you break your neck
Better pay respect
The team defy the laws of physics and then we wreck

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.
