Vision (feat. Sylt)

Yea
Just trying to talk to my younger self
This is from me, to you
The first time yea you felt out of place
You felt so left behind so you ran out to race
Insecure overachiever now you picked up the pace
Age 8 dreaming 'bout flying suits outta space
Age 9 contemplating what you wanted to make
Trying got you labelled a loser that people would hate
Yea I know right now none of it all makes sense
But I promise in the future you'll pick up a different lens
Age 10 now you're back in Delhi
"Outsider" was the label on me
Treated like a phantom you felt hella lonely
A lonely quest for greatness cuz nobody else got me
Till an Uzumaki, gave you a path
Skipping class, back to back
Running businesses with nothing but a bag pack
On a rooftop hack
Marshall Mathers helping you starting to rap that
Cutting BS out the way you tryna that wrap that
Dedicated haters, they started to fascinate us
Long distance relationship you started to date her
Contemplating choices in life started to debate up
Age 16 that's when life got even greater
Scholarships flew you out to UK
Culture shock got you labelled up a loser again
Now you going out your way just to fit in again
But that all started to change when you picked up the pen
They say you're too nice to be a rapper
So black on black with hair slicked back
You trying to more dapper
Feeling like you're Young Gerald
7 choose 1 'bout to make it happen
Listening to Logic starting to go
Back to back to back and

Started up at Imperial
You still couldn't relate
Broken hearts fall apart
Guess things still gotta change
All alone in your room
Starting to contemplate
This emptiness really wasn't exaggerated
"I'm tryna find my Ikigai
I'm so sick and tired of all these lies
All alone in my room should I start to get high?
At least I'll get to escape from all this loneliness right?
Why won't someone please just tell me it'll all be alright?"

Fast forward 2021 now
People 'round me make me recognize it's okay to be down
Diving deeper inside to heal everything behind the frown
We've all made it so far we deserve our own crown
G I T A got feeling divine, huh, if you know what I mean
Then it's a vibe, got me looking differently towards the sky
Oh my, a different perspective is all we needed though, right?
It was the fame and the game, my reason for variety
But now I understand it's contribution to society
What matters most, and now I'm loving it entirely
It's G-Eazy, Eminem and Logic that inspired me
Made a lot of mistakes, had a lot of heart breaks
But we learn from these aches
And we're all destined to be greats
And if you've ever felt the grace
You'll know what I'm about to say
Doesn't matter if its night or day
The sun will be shining above the gray
And hey, it's alright if it's not feeling okay
Sometimes it just won't go in our way
But let this be a reminder that this temporary
There's eternity waiting on the other side of the page
They say where there's a Will there's gotta be way
Loving goals got me looking up to Radhi and Jay
Living in all this harmony got me feeling like Zayn
There's so much more I could say but HEY!
I just want to say, I love you all from the bottom of my heart
I'm so grateful to each and every one of you
I wouldn't be here without you
As I write these lines, there's tears in my eyes
I guess I was just a kid who wanted to feel more alive
So do me a favour, and talk to your younger self
And embrace them, and tell them it'll all be alright

IKIGAI
Perception
This is just the beginning
Sat-cit-nanda
Sat-cit-nanda
Sat-cit-nanda
