2. Bone is an Australian post-hardcore band formed in Perth in 2006. They have a raw, noisy, groove based sound that has been compared to early 90's noise rock bands like Shellac and The Jesus Lizard, as well as more contemporary 'math' acts like Battles and Oxes. Now based in Melbourne, it’s members are Jonathan Shub (guitar and lead vocals), Mike Ward (bass), Nate Barnett (guitar and backup vocals) and Sam Reid (drums).
In their early incarnation as a three piece, consistent gigging on Perth's house party/pub circuit earned them a strong local fanbase. This early popularity translated to support slots with international bands Future of the Left, Andrew W.K, Die! Die! Die! and Clockcleaner; as well as notable Australian acts such as My Disco, Blacklevel Embassy and Grey Daturas.
The debut EP 'Pass The Butter' was recorded during this period. The limited run of 100 copies quickly sold out from sales both at shows and from the band's website.
The addition of Barnett as a second guitarist/vocalist in 2008 ushered in the current period of Bone, cueing a heavier, more abrasive sound and inspiring a move to Melbourne in 2009 to play to a wider audience. Intensive jamming in Melbourne rehearsal rooms quickly led to 7 new songs, showcased on the new EP 'Face Prison' - recorded at Head Gap Studios with Neil Thomason. So far the EP has been supported with a sell-out tour to Perth with Victorian punk band The Beat Disease.
Bone are now playing regularly around the Melbourne pub circuit, and working on an eclectic range of new songs for an upcoming album. Providing venues allow them to play at a sufficiently loud volume, Bone has no intention to stop playing music: whether this leads them to success, or a life sentence at Woolworths, time will tell.
3. Bone is a House/Techno band on Uk label Deconstruction, circa 1994.
4. Bone is a Drum'n'bass artist from Estonia.
5. Bone is a hip-hop artist.
6. Bone is a death/black/thrash metal band from Denmark.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Young homie think before you shoot, murderer
Where will our children go
When there's no place safe (nowhere) anywhere they can go
And trouble may come in sometime you get pulled
Over by one time and when its 1999 the one didn't even make any stride
Murder all around the whole world is nausiatin'
Why everybody's actin' agitated
I thought we graduated back in the sat away
Up on the battle station (oh yeah)
Patience is a birth defect and you know ain't nobody perfect
And when the curtains blow
O's open up the door no more, no more.
See we losing this world we love
And it looks like the sin that won't end
So I'm reaching high up above
Lord let your blessings begin
And let's change the world
And let's change the world
And let's change the world
And let's change the world
And let's change the world
And let's change the world

And got me ready to set off the riot,
Ridin' with my Trues Humbly United Gathering Souls
Here we go, roll up some more Phillies
My nigga let me hit it
Niggas we thuggin' immortalized, let's get high,
It's them niggas you most desire
I can remember from way back in the day,
Coming up out the ghetto was a hell of a struggle
From selling the fiends llello
But it was my dream to kick flows
And put my people on another level
Now could it be for the lust (Lust)
Could it be for the rush (Rush)
My niggas love when they bust (Bust)
They steady buck and they duck (Duck)
They put your dick in the dust (Dust)
My niggas creeping on a come up
Come up nigga, killer, thuggish ruggish nigga
Nigga, finna' descent into the dawn of a new millennium
Anticipating life without Satan hating,
And all enemies to hell, I'm sendin them

And let's change the world

Corruption, destruction, disaster

You know it's funny, I got my guns, better arm yourself
Most don't have a clue, if it goes down what to do?
Don't you know this government ain't built for me and you
I have a dream, no, I have a wish
If we can't save ourselves, then let's save the kids
Let the world go, let these babies have somethin'
Let the world go, just don't blow this motherfucker up
You kill him, he'll kill you
Some say it stupid but violence really lives where I come from
Hungry little kids where I come from
Judge not me where I come from

Raising hustlers, thieves and prostitutes
Nurturing a community where people engage in illegal activities and immoral professions
Young homie think before you shoot, murderer
Young individual, consider the consequences of your actions before resorting to violence and taking someone's life
Where will our children go

When there's no safe haven left for them to seek refuge
And trouble may come in sometime you get pulled
Difficulties may arise when encountering law enforcement
Over by one time and when its 1999 the one didn't even make any stride
Even when approaching the new millennium, improvements are not being made

The prevalence of killings everywhere is sickening
Everybody's hatin', everybody overrated
There is a growing sensation of hatred and people's value and worth are exaggerated
Why everybody's actin' agitated
Why is everyone behaving in such a restless and irritable manner
I thought we graduated back in the sat away
I thought we learned from our past mistakes and moved forward
Up on the battle station (oh yeah)
Prepared for the challenges and conflicts that lie ahead
Patience is a birth defect and you know ain't nobody perfect
Having patience is uncommon and everyone has their flaws
And when the curtains blow
When things take a turn
O's open up the door no more, no more
Opportunities to progress are no longer available
See we losing this world we love
We are witnessing the deterioration of the world we hold dear
And it looks like the sin that won't end
And it seems like immoral behavior will persist indefinitely

Therefore, I am striving for guidance from a higher power

Niggas we thuggin' immortalized, let's get high
We, as individuals associated with criminal activity, are celebrated and let's get intoxicated
It's them niggas you most desire
It's those individuals you yearn to be around
I can remember from way back in the day
I can recall from a long time ago
Coming up out the ghetto was a hell of a struggle
Escaping poverty-stricken areas was incredibly difficult

And put my people on another level

They steady buck and they duck (Duck)

Come up nigga, killer, thuggish ruggish nigga

Nigga, finna' descent into the dawn of a new millennium

And all enemies to hell, I'm sendin them
And I am consigning all my enemies to hell
Everyday the devil at me
Every day, I face temptation and wicked forces
And I wish the Lord throw a Hummer at me, I ain't happy
And I wish the Lord would grant me material possessions, I am not content
Me and Eazy E in a B-E-N-Z, with my niggas right next to me
Eazy E and I, riding in a luxury car, accompanied by my friends
It's my legacy, we can't let it stop, uh uh, not now
It represents my lasting contribution, and we cannot allow it to fade away, not at this moment
The whole world ending up in buck-buck-pow
The world descending into chaos and violence
Corruption, destruction, disaster
Corruption, destruction, and calamity

Oh Lord, could you save my soul?
Oh Lord, can you redeem my spirit?

Tryna' get prepared for the Y2K
Trying to make arrangements and be ready for the Y2K bug
And if I don't die today, I'm gonna try an change the world
And if I do not perish today, I will endeavor to alter the world
You need a lesson you can learn from rapping
You require a lesson that you can acquire from my style of music
But they try an ban it, realize that it ain't gonna happen
But they attempt to prohibit it, understand that it will not succeed
We done changed the world
We have already transformed the world
Ghetto voices being heard and failed
The voices of the marginalized are being recognized but not adequately addressed
You know it's funny, I got my guns, better arm yourself
It is ironic, I possess firearms, so you should equip yourself
Most don't have a clue, if it goes down what to do?
Most people are unaware of what actions to take in a crisis
Don't you know this government ain't built for me and you
Do you not realize that this government does not prioritize our well-being
I have a dream, no, I have a wish
I have a vision, no, I have a desire
If we can't save ourselves, then let's save the kids
If we cannot protect ourselves, then let's focus on safeguarding the children
Let the world go, let these babies have somethin'
Allow the world to be, let the younger generation have a future
Let the world go, just don't blow this motherfucker up
Allow the world to progress, just refrain from causing destructive chaos
You kill him, he'll kill you
If you kill someone, they may retaliate and kill you
Some say it stupid but violence really lives where I come from
Some say it is irrational, but violence is prevalent in my community
Hungry little kids where I come from
Impoverished children are commonplace where I originate
Judge not me where I come from
Do not pass judgment on me based on my place of origin

I lost my mother when I was 12 and I'm almost 25 now, I found a backpack with a Bone Thugs CD in it when I was 9, I felt like it was destined for me to find it to understand things more clearly, keep your head up. ❤️

I love how socially aware they were without ever being preachy. They also had a deeply spiritual side. They are truly unique!!!
Adrian Brown
The beautiful thing about music such as this, is that it's timeless and is relevant in 2023. Music like this should never be looked over, and celebrated in our culture as much as possible. Hip Hop that's uplifting, and targets the children in an attempt to help change our communities change for the better. Thank you Bone Thugs -N-Harmony...
