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