I remember the old saying daddy to say He'd say, "Son, watch your back 'cuz misery company" I never understood what it meant till this
She put you out with no to go, you call me up And I came on over, said you had a few problems You knew you were wrong, wanted to get yourself So, I let you at my home
When I peepin', you makin' eyes at my boo Goin' out way to be all up in her face Me and her would be in bed doin' we do I dunno where, she'd ask me things I only told you
Misery loves company, I you were a friend to me But right is right and wrong is wrong, so your bags Brother, you on your own, step on, on, step on Get to steppin' brotha, on your own, step on, step on, step on
My man, my man, my brother, my homey on, step on, step on
A learned but told long ago, keep enemies close But even closer, tell the truth, see Happiness breeds envy, don't say the words "It'll never, never, never, never to me"
Oh 'cuz one day you'll close your And to your surprise, you open them and see Somebody been all up in cherry tree Then that'll be the day, that you'll your mind Just spending time letters in a cell doing 20 to life
loves company, I thought you were a friend to me But is right and wrong is wrong, so pack your bags Brother, you on your own, step on, on, step on Get to steppin' brotha, you're on your own, on, step on, step on
Get to homey, get to goin', boy, you act like You don't know me, get your on, oh no, no, no
It's a low down shame when your so-called friends Start playin' games, they how to get to you All inside, all up in your business, start up your family too family took him in as one of them
And as time by they don't even care, no respect They moved on and here jealousy But they had the same, the opportunities as you do So you got to tell him, get to steppin'
'Cuz you ain't nothing, you no good You no good, you ain't no friend of mine Testify now, this evening, raise your hands this you was the one, you was my best friend
You was my friend, you was my brother, friend Homey through thick and thin, misery, misery, Brother, a friend, my homey and thin, misery, misery, misery
