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.
Take A Trip
UNOTHEACTIVIST Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Dream this shit go dummy)
Baby let's take a trip
I was wearing my Raf's
She was rocking her Rick's
Who the fuck knew that death
Came with a kiss?
Cool to go out lit?
Who the fuck said it ain't
Cool to get this rich?
Think you sold your soul to drip like this
Only lord knows only god knows
Only god forgives
I just hope you know I don't
We gon' pull up in a Tonka
They told me speeding kills, I go faster
My face might melt off this pill
I hope it don't
And she love the cheap thrills
I got what you want
Yeah, I'm having what you need
I get so high
I just might boot up then go godspeed
Popping Percocets, I got Molly and Codeine
When she give me that sex
It just put my mind at ease
I can't trust nobody
They turn rat just for the cheese
He ain't save nobody
He invisible I can't see
Niggas be wanting my picture
They don't own no root, I plant my seeds
This not no CPR, one punch to the chest and
We tell him to breathe
Even if you is my partner I'll cut off
Your hand if you try to be greedy
So I gotta' fuck on that sweet
Antisocial before she entered my life
Had to delete it
Baby let's take a trip
I was wearing my Raf's
She was rocking her Rick's
Who the fuck knew that death
Came with a kiss?
Who the fuck said it ain't
Cool to go out lit?
Who the fuck said it ain't
Cool to get this rich?
Think you sold your soul to drip like this
Only lord knows only god knows
Only god forgives
I just hope you know I don't
In UnoTheActivist's song "Take A Trip," the lyrics convey a sense of rebellion and living life on the edge. The opening line, "Baby let's take a trip," suggests a desire to escape from reality and embrace a more exhilarating and adventurous lifestyle. The mention of Raf's (short for Raf Simons) and Rick's (short for Rick Owens) in the fashion context indicates a desire for high-end luxury and style. However, the lyrics take a darker turn as the artist brings up the concept of death accompanying a kiss. This line highlights the potential danger and consequences that come with embracing a reckless lifestyle.
The artist questions societal norms by asking who determined that it's not cool to go out in a blaze of glory and to become rich in unconventional ways. He hints at the idea of selling one's soul for material possessions or an extravagant lifestyle, yet comments that only God truly knows the truth. It's interesting to note the artist's internal conflict, as he states that he hopes the listener knows he doesn't sell his soul, suggesting a struggle with the choices he's made and the consequences he faces.
The song also explores themes of drug use and its allure. The artist mentions popping Percocets, having Molly and Codeine, and getting high on pills. This addictive behavior serves as an escape from reality and a way to find peace of mind. The mention of cheap thrills highlights the temporary satisfaction these substances bring, and the artist acknowledges that he possesses what others want and need.
Overall, "Take A Trip" delves into the seductive yet dangerous world of rebellion, substance abuse, and questioning societal norms. It's a reflection of the artist's desires, struggles, and internal conflicts.
