I remember the old saying daddy used to say
 He'd say "Son  watch your back cuz misery loves company"
 I never understood what it meant
 'Till this happened

 She put you out with no place to go
 You call me up  and I came right on over
 Said you had a few problems
 You knew you were wrong
 Wanted to get yourself right
 So I let you stay at my home

 When I started peepin' you makin' eyes at my boo
 Goin' out your way to be all up in her face
 Me and her would be in bed doin' what we do
 Then I dunno where, she'd ask me things I only told you

 1 - Misery loves company
 I thought you were a friend to me
 But right is right
 And wrong is wrong
 So pack your bags
 Brother, you on your own
 (Step on step on step on)
 Get to steppin' brotha'
 You're on your own
 (Step on step on step on)

 My man, my man, my brother, my homey yeah
 (Step on step on step on)

 A lesson learned, but told long ago
 Keep enemies close, but friends even closer
 (Tell the truth)
 See happiness breeds envy
 Don't ever say the words
 "It'll never, never, never, never happen to me"

 Oh cuz
 One day you'll close your eyes
 And then to your surprise
 You open them and see
 Somebody been all up in your cherry tree
 Then that'll be the day
 That you'll lose your mind
 Just spending time writing letters
 In a cell doing 20 to life

 Repeat 1

 Get to movin' homey
 Get to goin', boy
 You act like you don't know me
 Get your move on
 Oh no, no, no

 It's a low down dirty shame
 When your so-called friends start playin' games
 They know how to get to you
 All inside, all up in your business
 Start breakin' up your family too
 Your family took him in as one of them
 And as time gone by they don't even care
 No respect, they moved on
 And here comes jealousy
 But they had the same, the same opportunities as you do
 So you got to tell him, get to steppin' brother
 Cuz you ain't nothing, you ain't no good
 You ain't no good, you ain't no friend of mine
 Testify now, this evening
 Raise your hands this evening
 Said you was the one, you was my best friend
 You was my best friend
 You was my
 Brother, friend, homey through thick and thin
 Misery, misery, misery
 Brother, a friend, my homey through thick and thin
 Misery, misery, misery
