Said you was the one, you was my best friend
Thick and thin, misery, misery, misery
Get to steppin' brotha, you're on your own, step on, step on, step on
You ain't no good, you ain't no friend of mine
Brother, you on your own, step on, step on, step on
Goin' out your way to be all up in her face

'Cuz you ain't nothing, you ain't no good
So you got to tell him, get to steppin' brother
You knew you were wrong, wanted to get yourself right

She put you out with no place to go, you call me up
It's a low down dirty shame when your so-called friends
Happiness breeds envy, don't ever say the words
Oh 'cuz one day you'll close your eyes

You was my best friend, you was my brother, friend

And as time gone by they don't even care, no respect
Misery loves company, I thought you were a friend to me

All inside, all up in your business, start breakin' up your family too
Testify now, this evening, raise your hands this evening
When I started peepin', you makin' eyes at my boo
Brother, a friend, my homey through
A lesson learned but told long ago, keep enemies close

And I came right on over, said you had a few problems
Me and her would be in bed doin' what we do
Misery loves company, I thought you were a friend to me

"It'll never, never, never, never happen to me"
So, I let you stay at my home
Homey through thick and thin, misery, misery, misery
They moved on and here comes jealousy
And then to your surprise, you open them and see
But friends even closer, tell the truth, see

Just spending time writing letters in a cell doing 20 to life
Then that'll be the day, that you'll lose your mind

I never understood what it meant till this happened
But right is right and wrong is wrong, so pack your bags
Start playin' games, they know how to get to you
Brother, you on your own, step on, step on, step on
My man, my man, my brother, my homey yeah
Get to movin' homey, get to goin', boy, you act like
Somebody been all up in your cherry tree
Your family took him in as one of them
But right is right and wrong is wrong, so pack your bags
Then I dunno where, she'd ask me things I only told you
But they had the same, the same opportunities as you do
Step on, step on, step on
You don't know me, get your move on, oh no, no, no

Get to steppin' brotha, you're on your own, step on, step on, step on
