     Limp Bizkit is an American rap rock band from Jacksonville, Florida. Their lineup consists of Fred Durst (lead vocals), Sam Rivers (bass, backing vocals), John Otto (drums, percussion), DJ Lethal (turntables), and Wes Borland (guitars, vocals). Their music is marked by Durst's angry vocal delivery and Borland's sonic experimentation. Borland's elaborate visual appearance, which includes face and body paint, masks and uniforms, also plays a large role in the band's live shows. The band has been nominated for three Grammy Awards, sold 40 million records worldwide, and won several other awards.

       Formed in 1994, Limp Bizkit became popular playing in the Jacksonville underground music scene in the late 1990s, and signed with Flip Records, a subsidiary of Interscope, which released their debut album, Three Dollar Bill, Y'all (1997). The band achieved mainstream success with their second and third studio albums, Significant Other (1999) and Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water (2000), although this success was marred by a series of controversies surrounding their performances at Woodstock '99 and the 2001 Big Day Out festival.

         Borland left the group in 2001, but Durst, Rivers, Otto and Lethal continued to record and tour with guitarist Mike Smith. Following the release of their album, Results May Vary (2003), Borland rejoined the band and recorded The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1) (2005) with Durst, Rivers, Lethal and drummer Sammy Siegler before entering a hiatus. In 2009, the band reunited with Borland playing guitar and began touring, culminating with the recording of the álbum Gold Cobra (2011), after which they left Interscope and later signed with Cash Money Records, but DJ Lethal quit the band soon after before returning in 2018. As of November 2018 the band is still recording their sixth studio album, Stampede of the Disco Elephants.

         The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1) is an EP by the American band Limp Bizkit. Released in 2005, it is the first release by the band to feature guitarist Wes Borland since he rejoined the group. He had left the band in 2001, and their previous álbum Results May Vary, was recorded without him. Drummer John Otto was absent for much of the album, and Sammy Siegler took over drumming duties for the band.

        The EP differs from the band's established sound and lyrical subject matter by focusing on darker subjects and featuring a heavier, more experimental sound. The album's lyrics focus on subjects such as propaganda, Catholic sex abuse cases, terrorism and fame. Released without advertising and promotion, The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1) sold 37,000 copies during its first week in the United States, peaking at No. 24 on the Billboard 200. Reviews were mixed, but Borland's return to the band was praised, as was the new musical direction, which was considered to be ambitious.

            After signing with Cash Money Records in early 2012, the band revealed that they are planning to release a sequel, titled The Unquestionable Truth (Part 2).

You can't sleep, you're restless

and slightly obsessed with falling too deep

and malfunction, you're a virus

who's intention is fucking up something

You're a crater

on the face of a problem much greater

It's the violence, or lack thereof control

Body and soul, digging a hole

Is the blood stainless?

Enjoy the pain with accepting your grief

Are you finished?

Dumb fucking question, don't let yourself fall asleep

Ressurect the intention

Once your vision is now mass-produced,

Imagine the insults a blessing

imagine accepting the truth

 

Imagine accepting the truth

Imagine accepting the truth

imagine accepting the truth

Just imagine accepting the truth

Imagine accepting the truth

 

The pendulum swinging

Hypnosis has taken control, now you linger

on a shadow of a doubt

Have you really figured what you're all about?

Don't trust your instincts

Just open the chamber where you keep those darkest regrets

All the things you've done wrong

Rebellious at heart all along

Is your leader a voice?

Somehow you replaced all your game with a debt

Now the payback's a bitch

Why owe your life to a bitch?

Absolutely pathetic

and regret it when told you are made of mistakes

Imagine the insults a blessing

imagine accepting the truth

 

Imagine accepting the truth

Imagine accepting the truth

imagine accepting the truth

imagine accepting the truth

Imagine accepting the truth

 

Now speak to your leader!

Now speak to your leader!

 

Your father who art in heaven

Hallowed be thy name, deliver us from evil, deliver us from evil

Your father who art in heaven

Hallowed be thy name, deliver us from evil, deliver us from evil

Our father who art in heaven

Hallowed be thy name, deliver me from evil, deliver me from evil

Our father who art in heaven

Hallowed be thy name, deliver me from evil, deliver me from evil
