I remember the old daddy used 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 place to go, you me up And I came right on over, you had a few problems You you were wrong, wanted to get yourself right So, I let you at my home
When I started peepin', you makin' at my boo Goin' out way to be all up in her face Me and her be in bed doin' what we do Then I dunno where, she'd ask me things I told you
Misery loves company, I thought you 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, step on, step on, on
My man, my man, my brother, my homey Step on, on, step on
A lesson learned but long ago, keep enemies close But even closer, tell the truth, see breeds envy, don't ever 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 your tree Then that'll be the day, that you'll your mind Just time writing letters in a cell doing 20 to life
Misery loves company, I you were a friend to me But right is right and is wrong, so pack your bags Brother, you on your own, step on, step on, on Get to steppin' brotha, on your own, step on, step on, step on
Get to movin' homey, get to goin', boy, you act You know me, get your move on, oh no, no, no
It's a low down dirty shame when so-called friends Start playin' games, they how to get to you All inside, all up in your business, start up your family too Your family him in as one of them
And as gone by they don't even care, no respect They moved on and here comes But had the same, the same opportunities as you do So you got to him, get to steppin' brother
'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 evening Said you was the one, you was my friend
You was my best friend, you was my brother, Homey thick and thin, misery, misery, misery Brother, a friend, my through and thin, misery, misery, misery
