[Verse 1]
The boy in the bubble the furthest from trouble
When I look at you, it's like damn
You give me sympathy practically instantly
I feel so bad like how could I be mad
You on some shit I don’t want
You on some shit I done did
We all got idols but don’t feel too high up
And fall to an untimely end
Go ahead out with your friends
Ima stay in and make ends
Meet, like a blind date
Fuck what the time say
If it ain't five to sesh then I can't
You yet to see the best that I can
Earth will end if Bones get uncanned
Sherpa lined everything let them see every stain
Fifty-nine everyday burnt to the membrane
Flashback slumped in the breezeway
Thinkin' I can't do this shit forever
Fuck doing their way, imma go my way
Hundred highways not long enough for my race
Imma take it further than that
All these pussies think they take it further than rap, no
You take it nowhere quick, nobody give a fuck 'bout the money that you get and
If you convince yourself any different
It's safe to say you gone and been missing
Off in a land I could have predicted
Molded by thoughts of those who don’t get ya
The scum has arisen
And no bitch don't tempt me
Cause I have been patiently waiting for my time to lose it
Please come and offend me

[Verse 2]
Feeling something like Larry David
Observe the world and then I get to shamin'
Shit go wrong i'm the one they blamin'
While the rest get on stage and they blow it like Kramer
Stranger-stranger, who really stranger?
Cause I don't know you but I know my anger
Worried about your album say you need more bangers
Bones never approach that ledge with danger
Say you a star end the conversation
Me and my brothers make the constellation
Ima get it now I'm far from patient can't sit still I forever go crazy
The store clerk know what I need when I walk in
Who bought out the bricks first night that they got in
Who got what they need when they need it I'll drop hints
I'm pointing all over like I promise it's not him

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.
