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 just pray
And they say I'm going through it
This thing that we call life
I just pray the devil don't come and
Take my soul to keep at night (I just pray)
I down all these Perc's because it
And they say I'm going to hell
Because I ain't living right (And they say)
Open up them heaven gates
I get so high that me
And God made a handshake (What)
Angels be watching me when I'm
With demons at play fear of God on my body
All you gotta do is pray (Let's go)
Somebody pray for me, pray for me
Somebody pray for me, pray for me
I gotta' hop in my cause' they
All putting they faith in me
My life pull up Wraith
Sipping HiTec while I count up a hundred
Better get naked for me
You don't gotta' say no more
I'm going through changes
My lil' nigga in and out of
Court he like a Cambridge
You better respect me when I walk in bitch
And you see who I came with
Get that drip when I walk they
Tryna' find the same drip
Niggas they rocking the Ricky jeans
Had it way before I was famous
Everything ain't what it seem cause'
I'm always armed and dangerous
I really wanna' give her my
Heart but I'm too famous
And they say I'm going through it
This thing that we call life
I just pray the devil don't come and
Take my soul to keep at night (I just pray)
I down all these Perc's because it
Help me sleep at night
And they say I'm going to hell
Because I ain't living right (And they say)
Open up them heaven gates
I get so high that me
And God made a handshake (What)
Angels be watching me when I'm
With demons at play fear of God on my body
All you gotta do is pray (Let's go)
And they say I'm going through it
This thing that we call life
I just pray the devil don't come and
Take my soul to keep at night (I just pray)
I down all these Perc's because it
Help me sleep at night
And they say I'm going to hell
Because I ain't living right (And they say)
Open up them heaven gates
I get so high that me
And God made a handshake (What)
Angels be watching me when I'm
With demons at play fear of God on my body
All you gotta do is pray
In these lyrics, UnoTheActivist reflects on the challenges and struggles he faces in life. He begins by stating that he prays and hopes that the devil doesn't come to take his soul during the night. He acknowledges that he often turns to substances like Percs (painkillers) to help him sleep and cope with life. Despite his unconventional lifestyle, he is aware that people judge him and believe he is destined for hell because he doesn't live according to societal norms.
UnoTheActivist then shifts the focus to the need for others to pray for him. He implies that he carries the weight of others' faith and expectations on his shoulders. As he counts his money, surrounded by material wealth, he asks for someone to understand and support him. He acknowledges the changes he's going through and mentions his friend's legal troubles. This indicates the struggles and consequences he witnesses around him.
Despite his fame and influence, UnoTheActivist feels the pressure of being constantly armed and dangerous. He wants to give his heart to someone but feels that his fame prevents him from doing so. This highlights a sense of isolation and longing for genuine connection in his life.
Throughout the song, the theme of contrasting forces is apparent. UnoTheActivist references the presence of angels watching over him when he engages in questionable behavior with demons. He also mentions the fear of God on his body, suggesting a conflict between his desire for self-expression and his understanding of religious beliefs. However, amidst the chaos and complexities of life, he believes that prayer is the key to redemption and guidance.
