Trulio Disgracias
Whoa-oh oh-oh ohhhh
Hear ye, hear ye
Court is now in session
Judge Jack Ass presiding
(I want the truth!)
I got my gavel, I got my gong
(I want the truth!)
And I’mmoe put you in jail
If you smoke on that bong
(The whole truth and NUTT’n but the truth!)
And the tension is mounting
As the tension mounts
Another sucka
Goes down for the count (repeat)
Whoa-oh oh-oh ohhhh
Pulling himself up from his bootstraps
Placing his foot in your monkey ass
Wants to jostle your jargon
Lay claim to the fact
That all them glow in the dark
Niggaz are not created equal
A but ahhh,
We want, we want
We want the choke hold back
Whoa-oh oh-oh ohhhh
We’re not related
To Clarence Thomas
We’re not related
Why?!?!
This brutha
Ain’t no kin to me
Why?!?!
Cuz he acts just like the enemy
Whoa-oh oh-oh ohhhh
The hunter stalks his prey
Checkin’ his movements from day to day
Waitin’ for the opportune time
To put his foot
In his monkey ass
Whoa-oh oh-oh ohhhh
We want, we want
We want the choke hold back
Whoa-oh oh-oh ohhhh
Ridin’ over the Hill and through the Meadows
U turn, on a road, left with no rights
All gassed up with no where to roll
Cuz the Ginni ain’t juiced up tonight
We want, we want
We want the choke hold back

Bassist Norwood Fisher has always walked his own path; excited by the music and determined to avoid characterization of any kind, he has blazed a trail through modern music history. As a cofounder of the culture confounding band Fishbone, he and his bandmates single-handedly dashed small minds of their hopes to keep their stereotypes tidy. His energy is boundless as he collects people who just want to play music. His ongoing big - no giant- band Trulio Disgracias was started in 1987 because people just showed up and he said 'let's play.’
As the ringleader of an ever-evolving coterie of top-flight singers and players, Norwood leads Trulio Disgracias into outlandish performances of self-described 'nuttness'. It’s a journey of lavish riffs, heart pounding one-drops and deep descending valleys resulting in a seamless, two-hour set.
The band has performed continuously with a revolving all-star lineup, combining powerhouse music veterans and up-and-coming stars on one stage. The Trulio family includes current and former members of Parliament/Funkadelic, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bad Brains, Freestyle Fellowship, Spearhead, Weapons of Choice, Ozomatli, the Untouchables, Gap Band, Suicidal Tendencies, Slightly Stoopid, and of course, Fishbone.
As Trulio prepares to drop a new LP in 2020 featuring over 76 musicians, they've given us a taste of what's to come with the first single - an extended and lush version of Sly Stone's “If You Want Me To Stay.” Coming in at just over five minutes, the track highlights the pure talent and wizardry of the ensemble.
