[Verse 1]
Precipitation, reflections on the pavement
Try your best not to look down, or you'll you have to face it
The truth comes when you least expect it to grace you
So graciously I stand out in the storm with nature
Life will try to taint you, modify your perspective
It will do everything that it can to be hectic
Check this
Time is a currency I invest in
Water in my right, switchblade up in my left hand
Minutes fly by without even having to notice
I was due too, without even choosing to focus
I can sleep all day and wake up to the moon
Or I can wake with the birds and get straight to the doom
Used to be hopeless
Some days, still feel like it
But truth be told, if life is a party I'm just arriving
I ain't had to struggle in a couple of years
Can feed my family and keep a roof over they heads
Yeah

[Hook]
I just can't fuck with y'all, man
I could never give a fuck what y'all say
I just can't fuck with y'all, man
I could never give a fuck what y'all say

[Verse 2]
Wait
Like El DeBarge
Shock, can't get enough
Work is never hard when you lovin' just where you are
IPA spilling on my Hanes extra large
When I get to kickin' raps and waving my arms
I'm in this 'till i'm gone
I'm innocent 'till I'm charged
I murder with zero alibis ready to tell the judge
I let you lay in mud
You leave me covered in blood
That's a fair trade as just as long as the deed is done
Yuh

[Outro]
Bones
What
SESH
Dead boys
Ye, ye, yuh

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.
