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.
Don't Know How It Feels
UNOTHEACTIVIST Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Don't know how it feels
They know how it feel
Don't know how it feels
(Dream, this shit go dummy)
They just talk about it, I live it
(Don't know how it feels)
(Don't know how it feels)
All they hate on me, I feel it
I'd be lyin' if I said I
Was more than a man
They ain't want me to do it, I did it, yeah
Anything you want, go get it
Fuck the critics
Lord forgive me 'cause I'm sinnin'
How it feel
Man, they think you sold your
Soul every time you winnin'
This my life so I gotta take control
No fallin' victim
In this world it get so cold
There's pain I got
The woods follow you home
(Don't know how it feels)
Who the fuck thought I would
Be the one that's chose?
(Don't know how it feels)
Fought some flowers and some roses
I got the whole family feed
I'm doin' y'all some poses
No posin' on this microphone
The thing that bring me closure
They tryna meet on the internet but
In real life gotta tote it
They tryna meet on the internet
But in real life, i'm alone
Never had no handouts, did it on my own
Even though that I'm a star
They tryna play me like a clone
They all know that I'm the king
Fuck the throne they try to treat me like a
Demon but never took my soul
These little bitty heathens
They don't know right from wrong
I'm on the Percocets, I'm geekin'
Don't do it to look cool
I do it sometimes 'cause it's the only
Thing that get me through
They just talk about it, I live it
(Don't know how it feels)
They just talk about it, I live it
(Don't know how it feels)
All they hate on me, I feel it
I'd be lyin' if I said I
Was more than a man
They ain't want me to do it, I did it, yeah
Anything you want, go get it
Fuck the critics
Lord forgive me 'cause I'm sinnin'
How it feel
They just talk about it, I live it
(Don't know how it feels)
They just talk about it, I live it
(Don't know how it feels)
All they hate on me, I feel it
I'd be lyin' if I said I
Was more than a man
They ain't want me to do it, I did it, yeah
Anything you want, go get it
Fuck the critics
Lord forgive me 'cause I'm sinnin'
They all label me the bad
Guy, now I'm off Avengers
They done turned me to the bad guy
Rip my heart out my chest
I'm off some ecstasy, i'm mad high
I'd rather die mad rich and go
Out as a sad guy
They don't care how you feel
They just care 'bout how you livin'
How come everybody feelings multiply
When you ain't livin'?
Yeezy boots, I'm moonwalkin'
Thought the limit was a ceiling
Uno told you ain't no ceilings
I'm gon' blow up like the
Fuck the opps and fuck their feelings
I'm on LSD like Jimmy Hendrix
I'm on the Mario Kart
Shrooms with no interference
Walk 'round with two guns like Tomb Raider
Doo doo your face on this magazine
You ever been on FADER?
Rockin' out to Avril Lavigne
Like I'm a skater
I'm your skater boy, we gon' grind together
They gon' hit the boy 'cause
They hit in God's favor i'm the savior boy
(Dream, this shit go dummy)
They just talk about it, I live it
(Don't know how it feels)
They just talk about it, I live it
(Don't know how it feels)
All they hate on me, I feel it
I'd be lyin' if I said I
Was more than a man
They ain't want me to do it, I did it, yeah
Anything you want, go get it
Fuck the critics
Lord forgive me 'cause I'm sinnin'
How it feel
They just talk about it, I live it
(Don't know how it feels)
They just talk about it, I live it
(Don't know how it feels)
All they hate on me, I feel it
I'd be lyin' if I said I
Was more than a man
They ain't want me to do it, I did it, yeah
Anything you want, go get it
Fuck the critics
Lord forgive me 'cause I'm sinnin'
