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 ↴
(Woah, Kenny) uno, I killed it
Love a little bit' that can take that
Hold on, baby, bend that ass over
Let me break that back
Pull up, pull up, pull up in the Maybach
Pull up in the club throwin' ones
Ooh, yeah, make that back
Huh, lot of lean, sip that drank
Ooh, yeah, diamonds shittin' on 'em, yeah
Lot of gas fill that tank
Huh, yeah, fill it up
Diamonds gon' hit 'em up
Look how we ended up listen up
Roast that boy, yeah, like rotisserie
I think my life is a misery
Very distinct type of mystery
I'm in her mouth like some Listerine
Leave that boy ass in the
Middle of the street
That cop gave me a lil' misdemeanor
Baby, don't act like you missin' me
I just talk bucks, but you can't kiss on me
I got the with kit's on 'em
Yeah, Uno, I'm stapled in history
Very unstable
They watching me just like cable
Bought that lil' bitch and she able
Kicks is so fresh that I grab
On my shit just like Fabo
Love a little bit' that can take that
Hold on, baby, bend that ass over
Let me break that back
Pull up, pull up, pull up in the Maybach
Pull up in the club throwin' ones

Ooh, yeah, make that back
Huh, lot of lean, sip that drank
Ooh, yeah, diamonds shittin' on 'em, yeah
Lot of gas fill that tank
Love a little bit' that can take that
Hold on, baby, bend that ass over

Pull up, pull up, pull up in the Maybach
Pull up in the club throwin' ones

Ooh, yeah, make that back
Huh, lot of lean, sip that drank
Ooh, yeah, diamonds shittin' on 'em, yeah
Lot of gas fill that tank
Wet it, diamonds they wet and they drip

Huh, yeah, you dig?
Uh, yeah, I'm at the top like a wig
Hold up, 40 hit
Bodies gon' drop like tip-tip-tip-tip drills
So many hoes, she the fifth wheel
So much molly, she can't sit still
I got lot of lean, coolin' with the top back
Lot of dreams came true when I dropped that
So I dropped that patek, iced out
Addy, send it, pop out
Back to back Raris with the Glocks out
Yeah, pipe it up, rock out
Ooh, pull up, speed, hop out
Throwing the rock like Hopscotch
I need my green like Popeye
Now that I think about it
I ride wit' the K 'cause the opps out
Love a little bit' that can take that
Hold on, baby, bend that ass over
Let me break that back
Pull up, pull up, pull up in the Maybach
Pull up in the club throwin' ones

Lot of gas fill that tank
The lyrics to UnoTheActivist's song "Take Backs" depict a hedonistic and indulgent lifestyle. The song opens with a description of a desire for a partner who can handle and "take back" a little bit of love. The explicit sexual imagery continues as the lyrics mention bending over and breaking backs. The lyrics also touch on materialistic aspects of the rapper's life, such as pulling up in a Maybach, throwing money in the club, and showcasing expensive jewelry. There is a boastful tone throughout the song, with references to diamonds, lean (a mixture of codeine and soda), and gas (presumably referring to marijuana).
The second verse dives deeper into the rapper's personal life and experiences. He mentions being involved in legal trouble (a misdemeanor), while the reference to Listerine in someone's mouth suggests a sense of domination and control. The lyrics then transition to reflections on fame and instability, implying that the rapper feels both watched and unpredictable. He mentions buying a girl and her abilities, and describes himself as "stapled in history." The final lines touch on the rapper's sense of style, comparing it to Fabo (a rapper known for his fashion sense).
Overall, "Take Backs" centers around themes of indulgence, materialism, sexuality, fame, and personal experiences. It portrays a lifestyle marked by excess and a desire for immediate gratification.
