So you get my point son You just don't trust no bitch, you know what I'm sayin? "Okay, daddy, I understand" Cause bitches ain't no good, you know what I'm sayin? "Okay, I get your point" Anyway, listen to this, check it out 1994, as the world gets trifer I'm wondering, the fuck I need a woman in my life for? (ya know) Cause its like a nigga whole history With you hoes been nothing but misery First rater, five-one stood Mad coke fiend though the bitch looked good Met her at the fever "What's going on, stranger?" And like a fool took her in and tried to change her I don't who I thought I's bluffing That BITCH wasn't giving up that coke for nothing "Oh you trying to dis, mister bougeois nigga Yet back in the day, you used to smoke coke cigarettes too That type shit you ain't admitting" Because, homegirl, I grew out of it, you didn't Anyway, dead out of order Came in with a sheepskin her ex-lover bought her Who gave you that? "My ex" I said "Who?" Believe she had the nerve to say "You can wear it too" When I found strength to depart, I do Withdrew, for something brand new Someone who would be true Yes I should find someone who would be true Cause Ricky needs a love that's true Truuuuuuuuuuue, oh dear, Scooby Dooby Doo Scooby Doo doo Then I met Sin, Sweating the viking A brown skinned fox, slim just like I like them "What? Sweating you? Picture that, nerd. Please" Anyway, the bitch had herpes! (you know) Imagine me, the fool being the spouse Doctor said I couldn't catch it unless I got aroused Found out snooping in her bag what she got Now why you ain't tell me? You worthless slut! "Because I loved you at the time and couldn't afford to" You know homegirl should get the Oscar award for her lying Anyway, stayed with the creep One day, Sybil here, talking in her sleep "Chris, wait," the bum bitch said So loud till a motherfucker fell out the bed Who the hell is Chris? She putting up resistance Until I caught her calling the nigga long distance Had the nerve to dis patch loving Boy am I lucky that I didn't catch nothing When I found strength to depart, I do Withdrew, for something brand new Someone who would be true Yes I should find someone who would be true Cause Ricky needs a love that's true Truuuuuuuuuuue, truuuuuuuuue Indeed, I need a love that's true It seems I need a love that's true Oh dear, Scooby Dooby Doo Oh gosh, Scooby Doo doo-ooh (doo-ooh) Though happy I was free The need for love was still in me Got to the point where the need for it was killing me Then I met short here, hanging with my cousin Found out later how young the bitch was and Though I done hit it and she opened up a world And remind me of that song "Go Away, Little Girl" It had to end because the bitch weren't loyal, and spoiled "That's because I had you pussy whipped royal" You see the type of shit a nigga was gonna marry? You see the type of attitude the BUM BITCH carry? Like oil and water, impossible mixture Then temper tantrums came into the picture Yelling (ahhhh), carrying on bad and cursing Complete embarassment to The Ruler as a person "Gimme shorts" Ruler will not permit you Then she goes wild, starts breaking up my furniture Flirts too, excuse me, a whore Like the world's worst groupie when I brought her on tour So when I found strength to depart, I do Withdrew, for something brand new Someone who would be true Yes I should find someone who would be true Cause Ricky needs a love that's true Truuuuuuuuuuue, truuuuuuuuue Indeed, I need a love that's true It seems I need a love that's true Oh dear, Scooby Dooby Doo Oh gosh, Scooby Doo doo Ricky needs a love that's true-hoo-hoo
