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 ↴
I get my work from a narco
Oh no, I killed it
Small circle, niggas squares (yeah, what?)
Gotta keep it a hundo wit' me player
I'm a product of a player
Pop this Percocet, I'm player
Where's my money, bitch? I ain't playin'
I can't play, bitch, I'm too player
Dick in her back and I'm grippin' her hair
Face in the pillow, she startin' to yell
I'm fucking that bitch, she on molly
She bitin' my ear, she told me, "Don't tell"
Her booty like burger, no Kenan and Kel
I hang with the nerds, I feel like Pharell
No water, but know that she putting in well
I'll put a hole in your back like a whale
Hell yeah, we gon' take these hoes back to the hotel
I'm 'bout to rock
But that what's gon' come out the pot
After I cook it she smell it (yeah)
I'm talkin' snot
I'm gonna slime a lil' nigga if I give 'em the pack and he snail it
Small circle, niggas squares (what, dig?)
Gotta keep it a hundo wit' me player
I'm a product of a player
Pop this Percocet, I'm player
If it's up, it's stuck right there
Where's my money, bitch? I ain't playin'
I can't play, bitch, I'm too player
I gotta agree, this life ain't fair
Pop me another, show I care
On the South wit' poles, wit' polar bears
That trap ain't got no scales, ain't bringin' no tales (yeah, yeah)
Got a bad bitch, get her heels, ain't talkin' about cures
Come in this bitch with a stick, real fly, no brooms
Ain't no Mario Kart but I'm gon' boot up when I'm on the shrooms
Gucci on my belt but it's a GG on there too (yeah)
I'm having real ties, homie, like test tubes
Small circle, niggas squares (let's go)
Gotta keep it a hundo wit' me player
I'm a product of a player
Pop this Percocet, I'm player
If it's up, it's stuck right there
Where's my money, bitch? I ain't playin'
I can't play, bitch, I'm too player
Small circle, niggas squares (let's go)
Gotta keep a hundo wit' me player
I'm a product of a player
UnoTheActivist's song "Circles & Squares" talks about the rapper's lifestyle, which involves dealing with drug lords and living a player's lifestyle. Uno talks about taking Percocet and how being a product of a player means he is always "too player" to play around with his money. He mentions having a small circle of real friends who keep it honest and a distance from squares trying to game him. Uno also mentions dominating in the bedroom, being intimate with a woman on MDMA, while she pleads with him to not mention their tryst to others.
The lyrics of this song reveal Uno's admiration for a flashy and luxurious lifestyle. In a way, the song denigrates square people as if they are not cool enough to be part of Uno's circle. Uno's ego shows through his talk of big guys in the drug game, and his ability to charm women. Moreover, his blatant reference to the consumption of drugs as a leisure activity, such as taking Percocets or Magic Mushrooms, gives an insight on Uno's carefree attitude.
