Misery Loves Company

Lyrics

Boy, I done told y'all, stop lettin' them old sad miserable people drain your power, let's get 'em [Chorus] If they ain't happy, they don't want you to be If they ain't happy, they don't want you to be 'cause misery loves company If they ain't happy, they don't want you to be If they ain't happy, they don't want you to be But not me [Verse 1] It's like they know you tryna win So they wanna put you in that messed up box that they already in Sit around all day and they just watch your every move Instagram, Facebook, got 'em all running hot, peep the things you do I told you when you got dreams, guard 'em and freeze your mouth 'cause you got people who listen just to plant seeds of doubt What you give them and what they give you never evens out You seek to travel the world and they never leave the house The same people who say they with you but they quick to lie They don't want you to put in work, they'd rather get you high They take your mind off of your mission through their own volition 'cause they feel better when they pull you down to their position Externally they play it off inside, they hate your thoughts Be cautious of artificial smiles and fake support Secretly evil in their hearts, envy plays its part They plan to set fire to your plan the day it starts Listen, you wanna know why? [Chorus] If they ain't happy, they don't want you to be If they ain't happy, they don't want you to be 'cause misery loves company If they ain't happy, they don't want you to be If they ain't happy, they don't want you to be But not me [Verse 2] Sad stories out of their mouths is a habitual sound They say they down with you but every time they with you they down When they single, they want you to be single, homie, that's wrong See some lonely people just don't like being lonely alone Whether morning, noon or evening, when they call you they grieving Negativity weighs on you when that's all you receiving Gotta break away from 'em fast, get free at last It's like the only thing that makes 'em happy is being sad And it's been goin' on from the first moment they known you Every single day they phone you just to dump their problems on you Most of it is fake depression, I'm stressin', it gotta chill Got me counseling these cats like I'm the ghetto Dr. Phil I ain't tryna bathe in dirty water, hers or his Complainin' 'bout the same problems for the last ten years Hard to rock with your view on life 'cause it's so jaded Leanin' on my shoulder so hard that it's dislocated You know why? [Chorus] If they ain't happy, they don't want you to be If they ain't happy, they don't want you to be 'cause misery loves company If they ain't happy, they don't want you to be If they ain't happy, they don't want you to be But not me [Verse 3] If I come to your home and you startin' to pout then I'm gone How come you always call me when the game is 'bout to come on? Yo, you don't have any happiness but you can't take mine I done sent you the voicemail twenty-eight straight times You left twenty-eight messages all heated and stressed I listened to the first two then I deleted the rest You're steady whining, expecting me to sit through it all I can't give you my energy, you need to get you a dog I don't get too involved 'cause it's never fixed or resolved Notice you hear them out, but they don't ever listen to y'all You try to cheer 'em up, it don't work, every moment is low You try to get 'em to hang out with you, but they don't wanna go When you say "oh" and then dip, they question your friendship It's crazy how lazy ungrateful women and men flip You can't lay around all the time and smoke like them They want you frustrated, depressed, hopeless and broke like them You know why? [Chorus] If they ain't happy, they don't want you to be If they ain't happy, they don't want you to be 'cause misery loves company If they ain't happy, they don't want you to be If they ain't happy, they don't want you to be But not me
