Misery Loves Company

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
