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.

Ayy, ayy, ayy
I don't trust nobody, bitch

If a nigga try me up
Got that little bitch turnt on Molly, yeah
That bitch is booted up (She booted up)
Bitch, I'm high as fuck
I don't give a fuck got the 40 tucked
Nigga, try your luck
Go so hard on a bitch, leave a bitch stuck
She looking dumb as fuck
She was acting stiff so she had to dip
Make the pack flip i took a round trip, ayy
I got bricks lined up like a picket fence
Young nigga hold them pistol grips
And I pack the shit i might blat the shit
Nigga sneak dissin' on the 'Net
Like he a bitch one day me and my gang gonna
Be in the foreign whips
My fucking wrist broke, bitch
'cause that water whip (Ayy, ayy)
I don't trust nobody, bitch
I keep that 40 tucked
12 get behind us, bitch
You better get this shit in tough
If a nigga try me up
I'ma tell that nigga "Knuck and buck"
Got that little bitch turnt on Molly, yeah
That bitch is booted up (She booted up)
Yeah, she booted up, gas bags, zooted up

Everybody shoot it up
Nigga tried to pull the Glock on me

Put the lean in the Sprite and the ice in it

Get your right hand man, better pipe down

When I see them niggas, it's on sight now
Molly having all these bitches bitin' down
Niggas trying to bite style, boy
That's my sound but that's slight work
Fuck around
Leave your face on your gang shirt

Let my phone ring if her name on it
Want to see some change in the trap
Got a chain first
I don't trust nobody, bitch
I keep that 40 tucked
12 get behind us, bitch
You better get this shit in tough
If a nigga try me up
I'ma tell that nigga "Knuck and buck"
Got that little bitch turnt on Molly, yeah
That bitch is booted up (She booted up)
The lyrics of "Booted Up" by UnoTheActivist convey a sense of mistrust, defiance, and a hardened mentality. The opening lines emphasize the artist's lack of trust in anyone, as he asserts that he keeps a concealed weapon, a .40 caliber gun, for protection. The mention of the police, referred to as "12," indicates that the artist lives in a dangerous environment where he constantly feels the need to be prepared.
The verses convey a sense of aggression and a fearless attitude. UnoTheActivist boasts about being under the influence of drugs, specifically Molly, which has made him and the girl he mentions (referred to as "that little bitch") highly energized and ready to take on anything. The artist embraces a high mentality, proclaiming that he doesn't care about the consequences and is willing to engage in violent confrontations if necessary.
The second verse continues with a similar theme of distrust and aggression. The artist mentions being heavily armed and ready to defend himself at all times, even while engaging in illegal activities like selling drugs ("pack flip"). He is unafraid of those who threaten him, describing how he and his gang will be riding in expensive cars, indicating success and prosperity despite their surroundings.
