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.

Bitch
No, not one of them (not one of them)
No, not one of them (not one of them)
No, not one of them (don't play with that boy, he is not one of them)
No, not one of them (not one of them)
No, not one of them (not one of them)
I told you that you will not play with him
Cut out they tongue, I'm like, "Damn, what you say to him?"
Guess it was gassin' him up in the flamer
Came with the chopper, but surely disabled
That boy was yap, yap, yap at the mouth
I will not go back and forth or debate with him
No, he is not one of them, if you got the ball
I'ma go and shoot up, get your legs in
I'm gettin' higher than a plane and them
I get high as a plane in here
I'm outside, I'm with Drac' and twin
Come outside
Is you cool? What type of brick we in?
Talkin' 'bout, "What would Jesus do?" (ooh)
Probably paint the Benz
No, not one of them (not one of them)
No, not one of them (not one of them)
No, not one of them (don't play with that boy, he is not one of them)
No, not one of them (not one of them)
No, not one of them (not one of them)
No, not one of them (don't play with that boy, he is not one to play with)
Yeah, yeah, time to perky up, go and tap some vibes (dig?)
All these fuckin' drugs, they got me feelin' nauseous
She said, "Sorry, mom, but that money callin'"
I got a bankroll on me now, bankroll on me now (let's go)
I got a bankroll on me now, nigga try to take me down (let's go)
All of my hoes is Chanel down, turn your life around
It's crazy when I'm runnin' all my money up, these hoes all down
Bitch ain't talkin' 'bout pussy, talkin' 'bout nothin', I can't fuck you now
Gucci clutch, Saint Laurent
Ridin' 'round with these pistols up
My ho drive a Lamb' truck (vroom)
I pop out, I'm Rickied up
Niggas broke, stimmy up
I'm in the cut like stitch me up
Can't fuck with a ho, it get mixy up
No, not one of them (not one of them)
No, not one of them (not one of them)
No, not one of them (don't play with that boy, he is not one of them)
No, not one of them (not one of them)
No, not one of them (not one of them)
No, not one of them (don't play with that boy, he is not one to play with)
In the song "The One" by UnoTheActivist, the artist warns others not to mess with him or play with him because he is not like anyone else. He repeats this message throughout the song, emphasizing that he is not one of them, and that others should not play with him because he is not one to be messed with. UnoTheActivist indicates that he is above others, boasting about how he has a bankroll on him, riding around with guns, designer clothes, and luxury vehicles, while others are broke and need to get their stimulus checks.
The rapper also talks about the effects of drugs on his life, referencing how they make him feel nauseous. UnoTheActivist even mentions how his girlfriend has to apologize to her mom for the amount of money he is making and how it's causing issues in their lives. However, he still seems to prioritize his wealth and luxurious lifestyle over everything else.

if uno is so "slept" on give him support. saying he's slept won't help our manzers. This is it bro, the intro was structurally different, it had more layers than usual which introduced your voice much better bro. this shit slaps.
