[Intro]

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
