The Truth (la Verdad) Lyrics

Verse 1: Let me tell you 'bout a young boy from Santa Ana. Playing music with the band was the only thing that ever mattered. I never really listened much to Rock 'n' Roll, grew up on James Brown, Motown and Latin Soul and that's the truth. All my homies were of serious latino persuasion. They taught me how to find the groove despite my sole lack of pigmentation. They took a little boy with shiny shoes and they anointed me with Salsa and Rhythm and Blues, and Chorus: That's the truth, the whole truth, so help me God. I can't pretend to be something I am not. So if my midnight confession seems peculiar to you, well, it may sound crazy but it ain't nothing but the truth. Verse 2: Now me and Jesus had our own kind of understanding. You see, He knew I wasn't no choirboy, but he wasn't all that demanding. He knew I didn't always walk the line, but He was right there to cath me every time and that's the truth. Chorus:.... You may say it's impossible "Hey that ain't butterfly boy" I know it sounds so incredible, but it's the truth. Es la verdad, así que ayúdame Dios. No puedo ser algo que no soy. Si lo que digo se vea desconocido a tí, you may think I'm crazy, pero es la verdad.
