The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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 nigger

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

(Singing)

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

Till I caught her calling the nigger 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

(Singing)

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 the nigger 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

(Singing)

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
