[Verse 1]
I’m hardly impressed, and rarely surprised
I’m 24 years of age but I feel like 45
I’ve seen the other guys, I done peeped the other side
There’s not a day of the week that I relate to their rhymes
The way they not embarrassed, depressed deep down inside
Turn themselves into a cartoon in hopes it will suffice
Gold-plated bronze, imitation ice
Tryna fake it but they end up breaking out for this life
They throw it all away, everything that came naturally
Every aspect that is unique, they done trashed it
Ridiculous outfits, unfitting haircuts
The opposite of them just as long as it means bucks
Pseudo rap enthusiasts belong in the loony bin
On the internet trying to prove to strangers how cool he is
I’m no gatekeeper for what you should and shouldn’t do
But look inside of you, I promise you will know just what to do
SESH
Yeah, BONES
What, what, what

[Verse 2]
I done put a hundred thousand hours into this shit
Made a hundred songs before I turned the age of 10
Don’t talk to me about how you feel old
'Cause I've spent some years on this
Bitch, get out my zone
This road I walk alone is cold but I am Bones
Ten toes when they would fold so many nights alone
The roar from the crowd when I break a microphone
The lure of the dead man has took me 'round the globe
The team that is SESH forever etches stone for those that follow in our steps to make their own
We the main ingredients, whatever's on the stove
You could be hot now, but tomorrow you gon’ be cold

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.
