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.

I'ma really tell you this time, you dig?
I don't fuck with none of y'all niggas, man
(Woah, what? Yeah)
I don't fuck with nobody (O oh)
Niggas fu (What? What?)
Money is the difference between me and you
I don't know what did I see in you
(What? See in you)
Turn your back on me, I can't believe you
(What? Damn, nah)
Now I'm thinkin' I should leave you
(I should leave, what?)
Wouldn't wanna be or see you
(What? Nah, see)
Bitch, I been ballin' since pre-school
(I been ballin', man)
Why the fuck you think I need you?
(Why the fuck? What?)
I won't trust these niggas no more
(What? Trust these niggas)
I remember when I used to feed you
(What? When I feed you)
My enemy was your enemy too
(What? Fuck them niggas)
Damn, where the fuck the tunnel lead to?
(What? What?)
Live by the gun then you gon' die by the gun
(O oh) first I turned 16
Then I went and bought a gun (Grrah, bang)
My partner called for green
Now he out here on the run
And I still finesse for lean
Charging fifty for the 'Tuss (Lean)
All these girls ask, "Where the drugs?"
(Drugs) where the drugs? (What?)
You can't see my drugs, yeah look at us

Thought you was my blood

Feelin' like you up and I'm stuck (What?)
Partially the reason why I'm so stuck up
(What?) i guess it is just tough love
I remember when the road wasn't roughed up
(Skrrt)
Remember when my partner chose on me (What?)
Thought you was my partner, damn
How could you fold on me? (What? What?)
All this ice upon my neck
I think my neck swollen (What? Ice)
You would think he had some ice
The way that nigga froze up (What?)
And I swear these niggas want a settlement
(What? What?)
I can't have no hoes up in my regiment
(What? What?) pistol pop and leave that
Nigga with no ligaments (What? What? What?)
I just came back
Think I'm goin' to hell again
(What? What? What?)
And I'm swiping if you leave your nose up
(What? What? What?)
I just popped a Perc', now I'm floating

Police disappear like hocus pocus

Bitch, I just had kicked you out
Here's your notice (Out, bitch)
All these niggas actin' like

Midget man, I'ma be the bigger man

Cooler than a ceiling fan (Cooler, what?)
Said she like her molly with a little tan

She like, "Uno, go and hit your dance"
(What? What?)
I don't hit no dance, I just hit for bands
(What? What? Bands)
I remember niggas want to call you friend
(Enemies, yeah)
How you niggas bitin' on the feeding hand?

Want to know what I've been doing lately?
(What? What?)
Man, I'm starting to think that you hate me
(Bitch, opps) nigga running up
Bullets screaming "Mayday"
(Bang, bang, bang) you can feel it in your
Spine and your Achilles (What? What?)
I don't know why these lil'
Niggas go betray me (What? What?)
You done entered a world you cannot escape
(What? What?)
Gotta keep my grass cut, niggas snake

The lyrics of UnoTheActivist's song "Sad Truth" depict feelings of betrayal, distrust, and frustration towards others. In the opening lines, the artist states that he does not associate with anyone and does not trust anybody.

The artist expresses his independence and self-sufficiency, highlighting that he has been successful and financially secure since a young age, implying that he doesn't need anyone's support or validation. He examines his past relationships, acknowledging that his enemies were once the enemies of those close to him. The lyrics suggest a sense of disappointment and confusion about the loyalty of others.

The lyrics illustrate his lavish lifestyle, mentioning the abundance of jewelry and insinuating the fear and retreat of others when faced with his presence. The artist implies that he deals with dangerous situations and people, mentioning a disregard for consequences and an expectation of confrontations.
In the final paragraph, the artist addresses the fake friendships and the biting of the hand that feeds. He questions why others seem to envy him and express hatred towards him.
