[Verse]
Stage shakin', life changin'
I swear last year was at the coinstar clankin'
Droppin' pennies down stuck, now gotta shake it
Rewind 5 years was the young vagrant
See through ya mind walkin' my mind racin'
Turn around and see the world, say they'll never make it
Old teachers, old people said I couldn’t make it
A dollar droppin' outta school, but I stayed patient
Now my blunts worth a week of work, fuck your raises
White skin, blue sky, new conversation
In a land where the snow doesn’t touch the pavement
Roll a backwood full cause my veins empty
Not above any behaviour no don’t tempt me
Love when the light glistens when it hit my razor
They always jaded, always fakin'
Keep it up and watch your little crowd turn vacant
Never done evolving I'm forever in the makin'
My philosophy of goals reach out and take it
And I’ve yet to put my arm back to normal placement
Fuckin' up the world every time I show my face and
I contribute to the scene with every fuckin' cadence
I create a new lane every time it's needed
Undefeated, they all conceited
No matter how many faces they put on, I can see it
It really hurts you, I’ve really cursed you
Anytime we change the world you change your virtue
Forever nervous, never working
They like ya surface but hate ya purpose
Give it up, give it up
Bitch it's not worth it

[Hook]
Came through the door like NWO
Put it on pause when we walk in the room
I'm getting just what i wanted and more
I could show you but I promise you won't
Bet you got dreams but I bet that you don't
Follow the lead when you feel in your bones
Maybe this will work out but you never do it
So you never will know

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.
