[Verse 1]
When the birds fly south and the snow come down and the crops all die
Bitch I'm outside, rolling these bones now Bones be high
If I ever go broke like I was last year, I'm not even gon' lie
Bitch I might ride, bitch I might steal, bitch you might die
Browning logo, moving slow mo
Cohoctah Woods but I'm still in NoHo
Eyes like GoPros, I catch the low low
I see what you don't, I know what you don't
Ghillie suits now, lined with goose down
Skeptic critics say that I'm the proof now
Hope they hate me, I really mean that
Change the game, bitch, who brought the scene back?
Let the fans down, I picked the fans up
Looking bend down, we got our bands up
Everything is just like I'm dreaming
If you ain't, you bitch, you ain't leaving
You ain't breathing, we ain't teasing
Always dropping, never take a breather
Showing up is just conceding
They wanna be us, they wanna be us but they can't
Could ride in Beamers but we ride in vans
Wanna see us, they surround the van
But the window tint make sure they can't
I'm just tryna get home safe
Roll me up a big ol' 8
I'm just tryna get home safe
Roll me up a big ol' 8
Feeling something like Joni Mitchell
I've seen some shit and speak on the issue
You live in hand but you talking pistol
Tell me how the fuck that work when they come with missiles?
They banging now, you laying down
Spraying rounds so you praying now
Don't be barking if you ain't gon' bite
'Cause we all know people that will tonight

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.
