Truth (3)
Although Truth never officially released an LP while they were together, in 1995 a 68-minute CD was salvaged from 1969-70 recordings. Most of them were made for a soundtrack of an obscure film, with three other tracks coming from a Chicago studio session during the brief time in which Ray Elliott was in the band. Perhaps to the surprise of some listeners aware of Truth's Them connections, there's not much of a hard R&B-blues-British Invasion influence. It's far more reminiscent of late-'60s California guitar psychedelia, along the lines of some of the more economic and harmony-driven bands in that style, like Moby Grape and (more distantly) Love.
In this respect, Truth recall Fat Mattress (Noel Redding's group), another act with heavy British Isles roots that took major cues from West Coast harmonized psych, though Truth and Fat Mattress aren't extremely similar. Truth play late-'60s psychedelic rock with a breezy lightness, yet with some guts, anchored by extremely versatile guitar lines by the underrated Jim Armstrong. The songs might not be classic, but they're very pleasant go-with-the-flow period sequences of images, with one vocal (on "Blackboard Words") closely approximating the sound of late-'60s Roger McGuinn. On "Sonic Sitar," the group expands upon the raga-rock explored in the post-Van Morrison Them's best cut, "Square Room," and in fact "Archimed's Pad (Squared Room)" is an impressive instrumental remake of "Square Room" that's an underrated highlight of the whole raga-rock genre, with its hypnotic drawn-out interplay of drones and Indian-influenced guitar melodies. The three songs recorded with Ray Elliott on flute and piano go into jazzier grooves with good effect, adding nice icing to a record that's on the whole better (and certainly more consistent) than either of the late-'60s Them albums on which some of the Truth musicians played.
Truth (4)
Truth, a new band from Sweden. All songs are written by guitar-god Sven Cirnski who leaves you breathless. All vocals are done by David Fremberg (of the band Andromeda). The debut album, "Machine", was released in January 2008 on Grooveyard Records.
Truth (5)
American rapper. Born December 15, 1976.
Truth (6) Christian Gospel
"During the late '60s, John Roger Breland had a dream of starting a Christian band. His goal was to share the message of the Gospel through music. In June of 1971 Breland's dream became a reality with the formation of the group, Truth, an acronym for "Trust, Receive, Unchangeable, True Happiness" in Jesus. The group performed its first tour with only 15 members. Some were barely out of high school. For the first several years of their existence, the group performed 400 concerts annually and traveled 50 weeks of the year. As Truth became more established, they performed 260 live concerts each year, and spent the rest of the time in recording studios. By the beginning of the 21st century, Truth had 22 members, and had traveled to all 50 American states and 21 different countries. The group had produced almost 60 albums and performed before more than ten million people in over 9,000 concerts. In 2000, Truth was accepted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. The Truth Legacy Collection was released in 2001, shortly after the group performed its farewell tour." from Diana Moes VandeHoef, All Music Guide
They have re-grouped for a 40th Annivesary Tour and with a new melody CD of their works. Several hit artists evolved from the TRUTH, such as Avalon, Natilie Grant and others.
So Far So Good
Truth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We gotta keep on pushing, come on
I'm on a neverending vacation
Until my tires go flat
Or everything fucked up and gonna fall
Off track picture me like a Kodak
Re-up, nigga, they know that
Work in back of a throwback
I'm cold up in this hallway
Hustling out it all day
Trying to get this money
And that Audi 8 in all grey
Haters say it's over but
You can tell them I'm busy
Professor with the? With a Smith & Wesson
Trying to make it to the top
100, 000 miles away
Somewhere in Gabon, where guerillas known to
Fly cage pedal to the floor, I don't know
Where I'm headed, but I know if I'm headed
Somewhere that ain't for me
Then you can get it
Business from losing folk
Sick is from insane
Tell em I'm coming for it
Stomach's the same thing
Nothing like a lose, I knew I was here to win
Fuck em if they close the door, knock light
I'm coming in
So far to go i gotta make it though
I'm from the bottom but I still try
Feeling like there ain't a chance
But I still try the streets is all I know
But still I got so far to go
I used to play the corner with a 40 on my hip
Hanging in my? how I'm gonna
Get up out this bitch coppers trippin
I admit it I was dirty as a broom
I used to take it in the crib and
Write my raps up in the room
Trying to chase a dream
Who though that I'd be cover
Of these magazines? Fresh from a jail cell
Greasier than Vaseline
I went to BET from running
Around with Mack machines
Busting shots and ducking shots with killers
Right in back of me i never had a choice
I never really spoke a lot
I never had a voice until
I started making noise
I went from running with my boys
To crushing niggas round the world
Them bitches used to turn me down but now
I'm fucking all them girls
Yeah i'm from a city where these
Young'uns doomed i was upset my father died
I turned? forever killed it, I was?
So I retract?
So far to go i gotta make it though
I'm from the bottom but I still try
Feeling like there ain't a chance
But I still try the streets is all I know
But still I got so far to go
Even with the magazine covers
And the articles i still got so far to go
9th-degree black belt in the Art of Blow
Cook pot and a spoon in my arsenal
School of Hard Knocks, made the honor roll
7 grams to a key, I was on a roll
Haters couldn't stand it
I took it for granted
Misplaced a bag of money and didn't panic
Yeah, on my road to the riches
Baby-blue diamonds and them
Hot yellow bitches
You can't cancel our Christmas
Italian roadsters, high yellow stitching
Yeah, what the fuck is y'all pitching?
Hall of Fame with the O's, Cal Ripken
My hands still in the snow like mittens
Got my weight belt on: power-lifting
So far to go i gotta make it though
I'm from the bottom but I still try
Feeling like there ain't a chance
But I still try the streets is all I know
But still I got so far to go
