Uno cemented himself as a pillar of the rap scene in 2015, taking the underground by storm with the release of his No More Thotties mixtape and songs like "Parkin' Lot Pimpin'," "Giuseppe Swag," and "WHAT." Uno would respond to the craving for new music held by his fans for two years by releasing his debut studio mixtape Live.Shyne.Die in late 2017.
A desire for musical experimentation led to his mid-2018 EP Limbus. The series' second installment would release in December of that same year. This trend of experimentation would continue itself with the release of Uno's Deadication remix project in mid-2019.
Uno delivered Deadication II: Lost Files in early 2020, a mixtape containing vaulted songs dating back to 2017. In mid-2020, Uno released his highly-anticipated debut studio album, 8, which included popular tracks "Das Him," "Night Mode," and "Can't Go."
At the beginning of 2021, Uno would release his sophomore studio album, Unoverse, a 10-track LP that would mark his first independent release since his 2017 EP Sorry for the Wait. The project featured standout cuts "Taco Bell" and "Opp Pack." ~ Alexander L. & Hamed T.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know what I'm saying? (Ayy, Dilip) huh
I'm in the penthouse with the K cocked
I think I'm going crazy
I got rich then I kicked my bitch out
Where is my new lady?
Andβtheyβthoughtβit was aβdream
Ask me do I drip for real and I'll say
"That's a no-brainer"
I put my blood, sweat, and tears in
I just got back pain i think I need to pop a
Percocet for my back pain
Don't think you niggas got the message
Just don't need a new friend
Never have I ever asked for y'all two cents
And they try and shitted on me
Runnin' they mouth tryna tell
All of my business, homie
A big dog
I ain't standin' none of that pussy shit
I swear these niggas not stamped like
I haven't written on 'em
All of these memories inside my brain
And yes i won't forget about the squeeze
That left me pain, and yes
I keep one in the head
Think that's a smart investment
And even if I hit you once
You part of my collection (You dig?)
And when I look you in your
Eyes I see my reflection (You dig?)
And I'm out just moving pies
Trying not to get arrested
And if I bring you to this side
It's 'cause I got a present
I gift you with my love
And all of my affection huh (Dig)
I'm in the penthouse with the K cocked
I think I'm going crazy
I got rich then I kicked my bitch out
Where is my new lady?
Andβtheyβthoughtβit was aβdream
Slid inβa Bentley Mulsanne
Ask me do I drip for real and I'll say
"That's a no-brainer"
I put my blood, sweat, and tears in
I just got back pain i think I need to pop a
Percocet for my back pain
Don't think you niggas got the message
Just don't need a new friend
Never have I ever asked for y'all two cents
I'm in the penthouse with the K cocked
I think I'm going crazy
I got rich then I kicked my bitch out
Where is my new lady?
And they thought it was a dream
Slid in a Bentley Mulsanne
Ask me do I drip for real and I'll say
"That's a no-brainer"
I put my blood, sweat, and tears in
I just got back pain i think I need to pop a
Percocet for my back pain
Don't think you niggas got the message
Just don't need a new friend
Never have I ever asked for y'all two cents
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's lit, uh
They hate, I know, I feel it, uh
I will go out as the realest
I know, what a hell of a feeling
Right now they calling me a legend
I am not there but I'm ready
I'm pulling these strings like spaghetti
I'm at the top like a Eddie Bauer
Walking around with real hitters, no Adolf
Walking around with real killers that'll
Take your face off
Ain't no Bow Wow or Omarion
This is not a Face Off
It ain't no proof that we had that
Body so they threw the case off (Dig)
And I'm drowning off the lean
I'm feeling great now
And if I'm ever feeling greedy tell
That ho to face down
'Cause I know she wanna eat me
But it's selfish ways now
Diamonds on me be-beating like
A fucking bass now (Dig)
And if I ever want your head
Killers on that payroll
(You know what I'm sayin'?)
Sippin' on this meds, ain't talking Karo
I was down, dick inside the dirt
Well shit all graceful now
Was down bad waitin' for the work
So I'm gon' take it now
I'm in the penthouse with the K cocked
I think I'm going crazy
I got rich then I kicked my bitch out
Where is my new lady?
Andβtheyβthoughtβit was aβdream
Slid inβa Bentley Mulsanne

I'm in the penthouse with the K cocked
I am in a luxurious penthouse and feeling on edge with my gun ready
I think I'm going crazy
I am feeling overwhelmed and losing control of my thoughts
I got rich then I kicked my bitch out
After becoming wealthy, I ended my relationship with my partner
Where is my new lady?
Now I am looking for a new romantic partner
And they thought it was a dream
Others believed my success was unachievable
Slid in a Bentley Mulsanne
I arrived in a Bentley Mulsanne, showcasing my wealth
Ask me do I drip for real and I'll say 'That's a no-brainer'
If you ask me if my style and fashion are authentic, I will confidently confirm
I put my blood, sweat, and tears in
I have dedicated my hard work, effort, and emotions into my endeavors
I just got back pain i think I need to pop a Percocet for my back pain
I am experiencing physical pain and considering using medication to alleviate it
Don't think you niggas got the message
Do not assume that others understand the situation
Just don't need a new friend
I do not require additional companionship
Never have I ever asked for y'all two cents
I have never sought your opinions or advice
