**FEAR IS THE CURRENCY** **Verse 1** Church came first, planted the cross in the sand, Told you salvation was coming, just sign on the land, Bible in one hand, the gun in the other, Called you heathen, called you savage, then called you brother Once the deed was signed and the temple was built, Convert or perish, that's the weight of the guilt Then capitalism strolled in behind his big brother, Said the soul's already broke, now let's talk about the color Of the money you owe, the debt you inherit, Same colonizer script, just a different spirit First they steal your gods, then they steal your labor, Fear of hell then fear of eviction, different flavor. **Hook** Fear is the currency, 😎🎤 Dollar in God we trust, but the trust is an emergency, Fear is the currency, Kneel to the cross or kneel to the company. **Verse 2** They privatized the water then they blessed it in church, Told you pray for rain while your own well can't be searched, Sunday sermon says be humble, be grateful, be still, Monday morning boss says work harder, pay the bill Same playbook, different building, different suit, One's got a steeple, one's got a boot On your neck while they preach about the free market, Meanwhile the collection plate's the same as the ticket Price for salvation, price for your labor, Fear built the empire, faith just paid the favor. **Hook** Fear is the currency, 😎🎤 Dollar in God we trust, but the trust is an emergency, Fear is the currency, Kneel to the cross or kneel to the company. **Bridge** Ain't hating on the prayer, hating on the power, Built on your knees in your most desperate hour, Ain't hating on the hustle, hating on the game That profits off your fear and still says you're to blame. **Final Hook** Fear is the currency, 😎🎤 Dollar in God we trust, but the trust is an emergency, Fear is the currency, Kneel to the cross or kneel to the company.
