"Tell the Vision" is a song by American rapper Pop Smoke featuring fellow American rappers Kanye West and Pusha T from the former's second posthumous studio album, Faith (2021). West produced the song with Boogz, FnZ, Rico Beats, and SethInTheKitchen, while Jalil Peraza and Jess Jackson served as additional producers. A drill track, it samples a choir and Angie Martinez's ode to Pop Smoke. In the lyrics of the song, the rapper discusses his upbringing in Brooklyn and the struggles he experienced during this period.

Some music critics praised the song's lyrical content, while others criticized the process behind it. In the United States, "Tell the Vision" charted at number 49 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also scored top 50 positions in Australia, Canada, Greece, and Switzerland, alongside reaching number 33 on the Billboard Global 200. An alternative version of the song was released on West's tenth studio album, Donda (2021). The version features a tweaked beat that includes a piano loop, accompanying the vocals that are solely performed by Pop Smoke. Most reviewers complained about the rapper being disused, while a couple of them expressed disappointment in the lack of drums. The version charted at number 90 on the Billboard Hot 100, while reaching number 69 in Australia.
