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 ↴
Me but I won't speak about you
And I might open up my eyes
So I can see about you
And I if I open up my mind
I still won't think about you
Oh, what a wonderful time to be alive
What a time, what a time, what a time
I was thinking about them days
Beautiful times
I got niggas down the road doin' hard time
Now all they ever think about
Is them hard times it's been a minute
He forgot like he got Alzheimer's
Yeah, I ain't forgot you got caught up
With a Glock and a 9
And they'll probably turn folks
To droppin' the dime
Told the folks we got the birds
In the boat and they flyin'
Boys shot him in his throat
Blood on the floor, it's lyin'
They told the fool he doin' hard crimes
If the starship start them stars align
Snuck up on him with the Carbine
I leave that boy blue like carbon
How you want beef and your ribs so starvin'?
He ain't never throw 'em in
The room like Marvin
Wet that boy up, put his body in the ocean
And I know you talk about
Me but I won't speak about you
And I might open up my eyes
So I can see about you
And I if I open up my mind
I still won't think about you
Oh, what a wonderful time to be alive
What a time, what a time, what a time
What a time, what a time, what a time
And I know you talk about me
But I won't speak about you
And I might open up my eyes
So I can see about you
And I if I open up my mind
I still won't think about you
Oh, what a wonderful time to be alive
What a time, what a time, what a time
What a time, what a time, what a time
If I put your lips up on your forehead
You still wouldn't speak your mind
I took some cups and filled 'em with Moët
You like drinking wine
Told my new ho to take all my clothes
To the cleaner 'cause I don't use irons
She gonna get on her knees with Yung
Shyne like he is her shrine
She had to get in the motion
She on my skin like lotion
She said, "Your dick, I be worshipping"
(Nope) baby, come here and get closer
You know love scars are permanent (Yeah)
I can't be the one for your closure
You know that these bullets like boulders
And, lil' nigga, you know that it's over
Sayin' over like it's red rover
I don't wanna control it, remote her
I pull up to your trap with the cake in it
Don't you play
I pull in with the stick in it
Pop a nigga, you better move quick with it
Pop a nigga like a zit, man
My niggas all loving hit licks, man
Y'all niggas, they suckers, they licks, man
They bitches all love it, we tripping
We fucking you know this ain't love and
You still pissed off
Your bitches pay me and you livin' with 'em
I don't even know how you feelin', nigga
All I know is I be peelin' niggas
I am not one to be sentimental
But with your bitch, I ain't missin' mental
And I know you talk about
Me but I won't speak about you
And I might open up my eyes
So I can see about you
And I if I open up my mind
I still won't think about you
Oh, what a wonderful time to be alive
What a time, what a time, what a time
What a time, what a time, what a time
And I know you talk about me
But I won't speak about you
And I might open up my eyes
So I can see about you
And I if I open up my mind
I still won't think about you
Oh, what a wonderful time to be alive
What a time, what a time, what a time
What a time, what a time, what a time
I was thinking about them days
Beautiful times
I got niggas down the road doin' hard time
And all they ever think about
Is them hard times
All they ever think about is them hard times

And I know you talk about
I am aware that you speak about me
Me but I won't speak about you
However, I choose not to talk about you
And I might open up my eyes
But I may choose to open my eyes
So I can see about you
To understand more about you
And I if I open up my mind
Even if I allow my thoughts to expand
I still won't think about you
I still won't focus on you
Oh, what a wonderful time to be alive
Oh, what a great period to exist in
What a time, what a time, what a time
Such an exceptional time, indeed
I was thinking about them days
I was reminiscing about those past days
Beautiful times
When everything was beautiful
I got niggas down the road doin' hard time
I have friends incarcerated, serving long sentences
Now all they ever think about
Currently, their minds are occupied
Is them hard times it's been a minute
All they can think about are those difficult times, it has been quite a while
He forgot like he got Alzheimer's
One of them seems to have forgotten, akin to having Alzheimer's disease
Yeah, I ain't forgot you got caught up
Yes, I haven't forgotten that you got involved
With a Glock and a 9
With a Glock handgun and a 9mm pistol
And they'll probably turn folks
And they will likely betray individuals
To droppin' the dime
By giving information to authorities
Told the folks we got the birds
Informed the people that we possess drugs
In the boat and they flyin'
In a boat and they are transporting the drugs
Boys shot him in his throat
Boys shot him in the throat
Blood on the floor, it's lyin'
Blood on the floor, it lies there
They told the fool he doin' hard crimes
They informed the foolish person that he is committing serious crimes
If the starship start them stars align
If the situation aligns perfectly like stars in the sky
Snuck up on him with the Carbine
Approached him quietly using a Carbine firearm
I leave that boy blue like carbon
I leave that boy injured or dead like a blue carbon copy
How you want beef and your ribs so starvin'?
How do you desire conflict when you are so weak and vulnerable?
He ain't never throw 'em in
He has never thrown them in
The room like Marvin
The room, similar to Marvin Gaye's music, is filled with emotions and atmosphere
Wet that boy up, put his body in the ocean
Shoot and kill that person, dispose of their body in the ocean
If I put your lips up on your forehead
Even if I place your lips on your forehead
You still wouldn't speak your mind
You would still not express your true thoughts and feelings
I took some cups and filled 'em with Moët
I filled some cups with Moët champagne
You like drinking wine
You enjoy consuming wine
Told my new ho to take all my clothes
Instructed my new partner to take all my clothes
To the cleaner 'cause I don't use irons
To the dry cleaner as I do not use irons
She gonna get on her knees with Yung
She will kneel down and worship Yung
Shyne like he is her shrine
Similar to a shrine, she admires and reveres Shyne
She had to get in the motion
She had to get into the rhythm
She on my skin like lotion
She is close to me like lotion on my skin
She said, 'Your dick, I be worshippin''
She expressed that she worships my penis
(Nope) baby, come here and get closer
(Nope) baby, come closer to me
You know love scars are permanent (Yeah)
You are aware that emotional wounds from love are lasting
I can't be the one for your closure
I cannot be the person to provide you closure
You know that these bullets like boulders
You are aware that these bullets are as heavy as boulders
And, lil' nigga, you know that it's over
And, little brother, you know that it's finished
Sayin' over like it's red rover
Saying it's over as if playing the game 'Red Rover'
I don't wanna control it, remote her
I don't want to control her, remove her
I pull up to your trap with the cake in it
I arrive at your drug dealing spot with a firearm hidden in it
Don't you play
Don't act foolish
I pull in with the stick in it
I enter with a gun in my possession
Pop a nigga, you better move quick with it
Shoot someone, they better react swiftly
Pop a nigga like a zit, man
Shoot and kill someone like popping a pimple, man
My niggas all loving hit licks, man
My friends all enjoy robbing, man
Y'all niggas, they suckers, they licks, man
You guys, they are foolish, they are targets, man
They bitches all love it, we tripping
They love being involved with us, we are causing trouble
We fucking you know this ain't love and
We are having sex, but you understand this is not love
You still pissed off
You are still angry
Your bitches pay me and you livin' with 'em
Your women give me money and you are living with them
I don't even know how you feelin', nigga
I don't even know how you are feeling, man
All I know is I be peelin' niggas
All I know is that I am shooting and killing people
I am not one to be sentimental
I am not typically sentimental
But with your bitch, I ain't missin' mental
Except when it comes to your woman, I am not lacking in emotional attachment and understanding
