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.

Truth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You battled with the squad?
Don't joke on us
You choking up
I’d leave you in the fog
The grass you smoked
Is really smog
You talking crazy
Manage
All your cornered up
Depletion with the charm
Aint that lucky padawan
We was smoking all the Ganj
Left off on a high note
Just don’t drive crazy for once
They’re lurking out
You’re watching
All the blinding lights
Unfold
Then all them fuckers left the road
Tell em Ayce
Said we left it off the road
Tell em Ayce
Ayce
VV2 that's a fact
Thought was fact then we killed it like that
Took em back
Take em back
Take em back back
Way back into time
Talking about B.C.
Not A.D.
These bars is off the T-O-P
And I hope you feel me
It's T.y The Truth
Ayce
Vice Versa 2
Coming back at y'all one time
We figured we'd drop twice in a year
Just to give y'all a taste of what the fuck we do when we touch down
Oh yeah
My niggas don’t care about some bipartisan politics
Just a bisexual bitch that’s pussy poppin' it
I kill this cock sucking cop
Ima get a life sentence
He kill me he just might fuck around and get suspended
This the shit make my niggas live rebellious and get reckless
Fuck 5.0
Fuck 12 fuck the pigs and yo consensus
It’s a simple issue dog
You either wit us or against us
And if u ain’t yo opinion matters not and ya suggestions
I ain’t got the answers
I’d be lying if I said I did
I ain’t even black I’m a light skinned Dominican
So I’m fully aware
That if they don’t stare
And if they don’t care
Shit I might just blend right in
You take one look at me and you’d notice my black features
My wide nose
My full lips
And my nappy hair
I'm proud of all that I am
I don’t care if ya don’t care
And if you proud too hold ya fist up in the air
Yeah
Never show fear
Let em know that we here
And we ain’t goin nowhere
Yeah
Fuck
I hate to stress and vent
But it’s some shit I gotta get off my chest
And I hope the world's better for my daughter
When I left
In these lyrics, Truth expresses a sense of confidence and superiority over others. He mentions encountering someone with a caliber weapon and challenges them to a battle with his squad. He warns them not to take it lightly, as he is capable of leaving them confused and lost in the fog. He also criticizes the quality of the grass someone smoked, suggesting that it was actually harmful smog.
The lyrics then take a shift towards addressing external influences and societal issues. Truth accuses others of speaking crazily for God, suggesting that they may be misrepresenting religious beliefs. He goes on to mention being cornered up and experiencing depletion, but still managing to charm his way out of it. He also refers to smoking Ganj (marijuana) and leaving off on a high note, cautioning against driving recklessly. He speaks of others who were watching the blinding lights, but then abandoned their path. Ayce is mentioned, possibly referring to another artist or collaborator.
In the next part, Truth reflects on his own musical journey. He emphasizes the fact that his thoughts are factual and impactful, akin to taking listeners back in time. He mentions BC and AD, likely referring to historical periods. He asserts his identity as T.y The Truth and expresses the intention of releasing multiple projects in a year to showcase his talents. He also mentions not caring about political divisions, but rather focusing on enjoying the company of someone who is sexually open. He speaks of a violent encounter with a police officer and the consequences he may face. This leads him to express solidarity with his community, pledging allegiance to their cause and disregarding opposing opinions.
Truth then addresses matters of identity and pride. He acknowledges being light-skinned Dominican, but confidently asserts his black features such as a wide nose, full lips, and nappy hair. He takes pride in who he is and encourages others to do the same, raising a fist in the air as a symbol of empowerment. He voices a desire for a better world for his daughter, expressing his hope that the issues he addresses and the struggles he faces will ultimately lead to positive change for future generations.

And if they don't care, well I might just assimilate and become indistinguishable

If you were to glance at me, you would easily see my African heritage
My wide nose, My full lips, And my nappy hair
My broad nose, my voluminous lips, and my tightly curled hair
I'm proud of all that I am
I feel a strong sense of pride in my identity
I don’t care if ya don’t care
I'm not bothered or affected by your lack of concern
And if you proud too hold ya fist up in the air
And if you're also proud, raise your fist in solidarity
Never show fear
Never display or express fear
Let em know that we here
Make them aware that we exist and are present
And we ain’t goin nowhere
And we're not leaving or disappearing
Fuck, I hate to stress and vent
Damn, I dislike complaining and letting off steam
But it’s some shit I gotta get off my chest
But there's something that I need to express or confess
And I hope the world's better for my daughter
And I hope the world improves or becomes a better place for my child
When I left
When I'm no longer here

[Verse 1]
I'm historically heartbroken
Drownin' in my own emotions
One minute away from the breakin' down, down, down
I'm always leavin' empty-handed
No one wants a heart that's damaged
Only know what love that lets me down, down, down
[Pre-Chorus]
No more starin' contest with the walls
I'm givin' in to my intrusive thoughts
[Chorus]
What if I never find anybody to love
Or I finally get the chance and I fuck it all up?
'Cause I can't get hurt if I'm the first one to leave, woah
What if I get to heaven and it's not even real
And I die before tellin' you how I really feel?
'Cause it feels like hell and I just can't help but think
That maybe love's not for me
[Verse 2]
If you don't look too closely
You can't even tell I'm lonely
Even though it keeps me up at night, night, night
I try to keep myself distracted
But I got all these awful habits
Of listenin' to voices in my mind, mind, mind
[Pre-Chorus]
No starin' contest with the walls
I'm givin' in to my intrusive thoughts, oh
[Chorus]
What if I never find anybody to love
Or I finally get the chance and I fuck it all up?
'Cause I can't get hurt if I'm the first one to leave, woah-oah, woah
What if I get to heaven and it's not even real
And I die before tellin' you how I really feel?
'Cause it feels like hell and I just can't help but think
Maybe love's not for me
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, maybe love's not for me, oh-oh-oh
Maybe love's not for me
Maybe love's not for me
For me, for me, for me
Maybe love's not for me
💔

I’m literally crying. This song speaks so much for the people who are fighting against themselves. It feels/seems like no one will stay besides us because even we can’t understand ourselves and no one can see that. Overthinking, depression and anxiety are really fucking us up 😭 I found comfort with this song! Thank you Natalie Jane for speaking up about how much we worry about if someone can even accept us.
