The lyrics to X-Ray Dog's song The Vision are rife with bravado and confidence, and speak largely of a person's ambition, drive to succeed, and desire to make a change. The opening verse emphasizes the importance of shifting one's focus and strategies without changing the ultimate vision, with lines like "I just switched the mission but never the vision." The chorus repeats this sentiment and also includes references to weapons and opposition, as the persona asserts their dominance and superiority over others while constantly changing allegiances and positions.
The second verse takes a bit of a turn as the focus shifts to a specific woman who is important to the singer. He pledges to treat her well and laments the idea of leaving a paper trail while smoking "paper planes" and trying to make it rain. The verse concludes with a nod to the rapper's desire to use his platform and music to effect change in the world, calling out the problems with the music industry and stating "you know that we gone make a change."

It's been I don't know how many years since I last listened to this and hearing it again it still gives me goosebumps. It fits with literally any emotional topic that my mind has ever been preoccupied with throughout the years; any book, any film, any real-life experience.
