[Verse]

I remember it so vividly, ice cold back roads life back in Michigan
How you supposed to miss it when nobody say they missin' ya
History down the drain but I am just as much to blame as the other half
Fuck it, I'm livin' life and I love it
As I'm now steady workin' workin' towards no budget
Towards that ferrari and that big ass apartment
Oh you thought I meant a room? Fuck no I meant a complex
Don't believe in objects, material things
But what the fuck why not when you bathin' in change
Just the way of the grain, way it grip to my hand
It's just the heat of the sun, it's just my feet in the sand
They got me hopin', I ain't ever gotta be broke again
Never sold drugs cuz I'd end up rolling them
End up smoking all the weed I was holding
End up gettin' smoked in an alley in Oakland
So I took the other route, I'ma be a fuckin' rapper
Been spittin' my whole life why not get some money off this shit, it's nonsense, but fuck it so it's life
You wake up every day you fall asleep every night
It's just so fuckin' crazy, I'm floatin' outta space
How could you waste a second bitchin' bout how much you make
How much you fuckin' hate stupid shit throughout your day
Just for me feel your heart feel the beat

[Hook]

Let it bang, let it bang
Let it bang, let it bang
Let it bang, let it bang

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.
