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 ↴
Know your name, yeah
Told you
I don't know your name, yeah
Told you
I don't know your name, yeah
Babygirl, I get that
If I call your phone, girl
Tell me, will you pick up? (What?)
Sometimes you not gettin' there
Maybe they don't get ya
Feel like you not fittin' in
Maybe they don't fit ya
Devil on your right shoulder
Angel on your left shoulder
Ain't nobody left over
Ain't nobody left sober
Said you need an angel, baby, I can transport you
Maybe I can escort you
I can do the best for you
You need motivation, you need you a go-getter
Don't need help from no nigga
Body got that coke figure
Body look like gold
All these niggas hoes, trick 'em
You see and you go sic 'em
Then fuck 'em, they not pimpin'
That Rolls Royce color blush
And I must admit I miss you
And I'm on a money mission
I want them guided figures
Yeah, I'm on that road to get richer
I'm on the road to riches
Yeah, I turned my goals to visions
These niggas make no decisions
And she made her own decision
And I made that bold decision
And it make no correlation
Now we both just co-existing
Babygirl, I get that
Maybe we can get up
If I call your phone, girl
Tell me, will you pick up? (What?)
Sometimes you not gettin' there
Maybe they don't get ya
Feel like you not fittin' in
Maybe they don't fit ya
Devil on your right shoulder
Angel on your left shoulder
Ain't nobody left over
Ain't nobody left sober
You shouldn't have to feel like you fighting a war
You shouldn't have to feel like you fighting a war
You should wanna feel all this water ashore
You should wanna feel like you finally insured
Right now I feel like everything I want, I afford
I just put a new Chanel bracelet by her core
And free Shay out on the south side, what the fuck we beefing for?
We was from the same part, we was partners before
And right before I sleep, you know I gotta thank the Lord
'Cause I can die tomorrow and get took right up out my glory
And if I die tomorrow, tell me, will I open doors?
Please don't show no sorrow for me, just move it accordingly
Heaven, I'm looking forward
Babygirl, I get that
Maybe we can get up
If I call your phone, girl
Tell me, will you pick up? (What?)
Sometimes you not gettin' there
Maybe they don't get ya
Feel like you not fittin' in
Maybe they don't fit ya
Devil on your right shoulder
Angel on your left shoulder
Ain't nobody left over
Ain't nobody left sober
The song "Devil On Yo Right Shoulder" by UnoTheActivist is an introspective track about dealing with inner demons while also pursuing success and love. The lyrics talk about a girl the artist is interested in, but unsure of her name. He mentions the possibility of them getting together, but acknowledges her feelings of not fitting in and not being understood by others. The chorus features the repeated line "Devil on your right shoulder, angel on your left shoulder," representing the constant battle between good and evil within ourselves.
The artist then shifts to discussing his own journey to success and the risks he's taken to get there. He mentions wanting to share his fortune with others and help those close to him who may be struggling. The song ends with a message of gratitude and a reminder to appreciate the present moment.
