BackroadsBONES

Released: September 28, 2013

Songwriter: BONES

Producer: Jeff Jupiter

[Verse 1]
Everybody worried 'bout their clothes now
Ain't nobody worried 'bout their flow now
The only one out here really throwing down
Turn the song loud, but I still hear no sound
No sound, rolling 'round downtown in the all black cloud
Punk on dope, sixteen, left home
Flashback to the snow, raised on the backroads
Chains on the tires but we still gon' slide
Sun coming up but we still gon' hide
Said we gon' ride 'til the day that we die
But that day came soon 'cause we all still alive (what)

[Bridge]
Friends turned strangers, life gets stranger
World starts changing but I gotta stay adjacent
Drink every day, smoke when it's raining
Things that we did back home in the basement
Friends turned strangers, life gets stranger
World starts changing but I gotta stay adjacent
Drink every day, smoke when it's raining
Things that we did back home in the basement

[Hook]
And I can't fall asleep
Without you laying here next to me
And I can't fall asleep
Without you laying here next to me

BONES

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.
