That is the joyous chorus from the new single, Be Afraid, from Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit. It has a similar sentiment to the empowering title of a 1987 book by the late Susan Jeffers, Feel the Fear … and Do It Anyway.
The first verse of that song begins:
“We’ve been testing you, and you failed
To see how long that
you could sit with the truth, but you bailed”
The third verse begins:
“We don’t take requests, we won’t shut up and sing
Tell the truth
enough, you’ll find it rhymes with everything”
