[Intro]
[spoken
Thick accent]
Ayy
Listen now
Some tings you count inna yuh hand
An some tings you just haffi let gwaan
[Verse 1]
Mi wake up
Check bank
Check breath first
Gratitude deposit
Calm down di worst
Market a swing like choppy sea
But mi mind steady like deep-root tree
Rain might fall pon di factory roof
Boss might lie
Politician chat spoof
But mi still choose weh mi dollar roll
Dat choice deh
Dat a mi patrol
[Chorus]
Dis a di currency of control
Save weh yuh can
Bless and patrol
Nuh chase every storm
Just guard yuh soul
Mi spend peace like it pure gold
Dis a di currency of control
Cut weh yuh must
Keep yuh goal
Can’t rule di world
But yuh run yuh role
Mi spend peace like it pure gold (oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
Mi cyah steer di global tide
But mi can drive which car mi ride
Skip one flex
Stack one share
Time compound like locks inna mi hair
Friend dem floss
Brand-new tings
Mi sidung
Budget
Clip dem wings
Dem laugh
But mi smile when di bill come small
Freedom sweet when di phone still call
[Chorus]
Dis a di currency of control
Save weh yuh can
Bless and patrol
Nuh chase every storm
Just guard yuh soul
Mi spend peace like it pure gold
Dis a di currency of control
Cut weh yuh must
Keep yuh goal
Can’t rule di world
But yuh run yuh role
Mi spend peace like it pure gold (yeah-yeah)
[Bridge]
Storm a rage inna di interest rate
But mi choose patience
Mi choose wait
World love hype
Quick cash
Fast show
Mi love slow plan
Deep root
Sure grow
[Chorus]
Dis a di currency of control
Save weh yuh can
Bless and patrol
Nuh chase every storm
Just guard yuh soul
Mi spend peace like it pure gold
Dis a di currency of control
Cut weh yuh must
Keep yuh goal
Can’t rule di world
But yuh run yuh role
Mi spend peace like it pure gold (spend peace, spend peace)
[Outro]
[spoken]
Count weh inna yuh reach
Release weh yuh cyan hold
Dat a true riches
