Dont ever buy nothing from a man named Truth
Dont ever buy nothing from a man named Truth
Ill tell you right now that it aint no use
Dont ever buy nothing from a man named Truth
Pain was hunting me down, but I gave him the slip
I left the city through a tunnel and I headed for the sticks
With oregano oil and a morphine drip
Pain was hunting me down, but I gave him the slip
And I fell in love with identical twins
Theyd lived 34 summers between the two of them
I gave one my ego, gave one my id
Yeah, I gotta get back to my pretty little twins
Dont ever buy nothing from a man named Truth
Dont ever buy nothing from a man named Truth
Ill tell you right now that it aint no use
Dont ever buy nothing from a man named Truth
I was lost for a year in those almond trees
The sun was rising in the South and setting in the East
I was half awake, I was half asleep
I thought I would never get out of those almond trees
So dont think too slow in the syrupy sun
Youll get buried alive when the caterpillar come
Tapping your time on a congo drum
Dont think too slow in the syrupy sun
M!
I met a black skinned man with an ice cream grin
And a blond Afghan with that heroin
We moved to the mountains where the highway ends
And I got myself that ice cream grin
So dont search too long for that Aztec gold
Like old Cortez, gonna lose your soul
Turn an honest man into Diablo
Dont trade your soul for no Aztec gold
And never buy nothing from a man named Truth
Never buy nothing from a man named Truth
Look in my eyes and you see the proof
Dont ever buy nothing from a man named Truth
Dont ever buy nothing from a man named Truth
Dont ever buy nothing from a man named Truth
Dont ever buy nothing from a man named Truth
