Therapy – Badshah

The hit maker Badshah dropped “Therapy” this week. As a matter of fact, we know that Badshah can spit and “Therapy” is just another fine example. Badshah did spit some good bars on the instrumental. Much like his previous tracks “Baatcheet” and “Inception”, “Therapy” also has a good story-telling vibe. In fact, he also gave shout outs to one and only Yo! Yo! Honey Singh. He mentioned how he misses the old days when they used to spend a lot of good times in the studio. “Therapy” also displays the hustle of Badshah. He mentioned his journey from being a nobody to somebody and how he is cracking big deals all alone. This is a surprise track for all his fans.

Significant lyrics from the track:

Cabin band, koi shor nahi. Flight Emirates,
Late aaun jaan boojh ke main, log karein wait,
Wi-Fi 36,000 ft. pe Whatsapp pe,
Karodon (Crores) ki main dealein kar raha negotiate.
