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.
Paper
UNOTHEACTIVIST Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
What, what, what, what
What, what, what, what
What, what (Uno, I killed it) ooh, dig
All about this paper
All about it, all about this paper
Lately it's like everything's about a hater
To go and chase it
Like Meek Milly, I'm a dream chaser
They freed Meek Milly so them dreams
I had to chase 'em
And everybody say I'm the most underrated
Well, I'm just starting to
Think these niggas overrated
I told lil' baby to hurry up and wait
You better catch on before it is too late
She trying to suck up or show me lot of ways
These niggas hating
They want to be in my place
My diamonds make you feel some type of way
I'm trying to make a mill'
All type of ways
They just freed Meek Mill, dreams
I'ma chase
This for my real niggas beating the case
Bitch, you know I keep all
The shells by the case i'm on the block
Beat on my chest like a ape
I am the Act, but I'm Uno the Great
I'm tryna see how many licks do it take
Till we walk in Gucci, buy out the place
All about this paper
All about it, all about this paper
Lately it's like everything's about a hater
Seen a dollar bill and I had
To go and chase it
Like Meek Milly, I'm a dream chaser
They freed Meek Milly so them dreams
I had to chase 'em
And everybody say I'm the most underrated
Well, I'm just starting to
Think these niggas overrated
I can't believe what happened before my eyes
Act like they love me then
Hate me in disguise
Real eyes realize real lies
It's high demand so that dope I supply
I'm taking off
You might wanna get on this flight
I'm telling you
This ain't happen overnight
I feel like Floyd, I ain't losing the fight
They act like bitches
Doing shit out of spite
I know these niggas loving me all despite
How I came up, they wanna be in my site
If I don't hear 'em
I don't see 'em in sight
I won't have no reason to
Bring out that pipe
I got my main bitch wishing me a good night
Shoot at his feet, I make a nigga get light
If she with me you know
She never gon' fright he run up on me
I'm gon' knock out his lights
Cop pull me over
She ain't read me my rights
All about this paper
All about it, all about this paper
Lately it's like everything's about a hater
Seen a dollar bill and I had
To go and chase it
Like Meek Milly, I'm a dream chaser
They freed Meek Milly so them dreams
I had to chase 'em
And everybody say I'm the most underrated
Well, I'm just starting to
Think these niggas overrated
The lyrics to "Paper" by UnoTheActivist & Travis Barker revolve around the theme of prioritizing money and success over the opinions of others. The song emphasizes the importance of chasing after financial gain and dreams, much like Meek Mill, who is mentioned in the lyrics as a symbol of determination and perseverance.
The first verse highlights the artist's focus on making money and their eagerness to pursue it. They mention being underrated but starting to believe that others are overrated. This could be a reflection of their growing confidence and recognition of their own worth.
The second verse touches on the artist's experiences with love and hate. They mention being deceived by people who pretend to love them but secretly harbor hatred. They also mention the high demand for their "dope" (possibly referring to their music) and their quick ascent to success. The lyrics hint at the artist feeling like a champion (like Floyd Mayweather) who won't be defeated or swayed by spiteful actions.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of ambition, determination, and resilience in the pursuit of financial success, while also acknowledging the presence of haters and the artist's own self-perception as underrated.
