Boy, I done told y'all, stop lettin' them old sad miserable people drain your power, let's get 'em
[Chorus]
If they aināt happy, they donāt want you to be
If they aināt happy, they donāt want you to be
ācause misery loves company
If they aināt happy, they donāt want you to be
If they aināt happy, they donāt want you to be
But not me
[Verse 1]
Itās 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 āem all running hot, peep the things you do
I told you when you got dreams, guard āem and freeze your mouth
ācause 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 donāt want you to put in work, theyād rather get you high
They take your mind off of your mission through their own volition
ācause 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 aināt happy, they donāt want you to be
If they aināt happy, they donāt want you to be
ācause misery loves company
If they aināt happy, they donāt want you to be
If they aināt happy, they donāt 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, thatās wrong
See some lonely people just donāt like being lonely alone
Whether morning, noon or evening, when they call you they grieving
Negativity weighs on you when thatās all you receiving
Gotta break away from āem fast, get free at last
Itās like the only thing that makes āem happy is being sad
And itās been goinā 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, Iām stressinā, it gotta chill
Got me counseling these cats like Iām the ghetto Dr. Phil
I ain't tryna bathe in dirty water, hers or his
Complaininā ābout the same problems for the last ten years
Hard to rock with your view on life ācause itās so jaded
Leaninā on my shoulder so hard that itās dislocated
You know why?
[Chorus]
If they aināt happy, they donāt want you to be
If they aināt happy, they donāt want you to be
ācause misery loves company
If they aināt happy, they donāt want you to be
If they aināt happy, they donāt want you to be
But not me
[Verse 3]
If I come to your home and you startinā to pout then Iām gone
How come you always call me when the game is ābout to come on?
Yo, you donāt have any happiness but you canāt 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
Youāre steady whining, expecting me to sit through it all
I canāt give you my energy, you need to get you a dog
I donāt get too involved ācause itās never fixed or resolved
Notice you hear them out, but they donāt ever listen to yāall
You try to cheer āem up, it donāt work, every moment is low
You try to get āem to hang out with you, but they donāt wanna go
When you say āohā and then dip, they question your friendship
Itās crazy how lazy ungrateful women and men flip
You canāt 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 aināt happy, they donāt want you to be
If they aināt happy, they donāt want you to be
ācause misery loves company
If they aināt happy, they donāt want you to be
If they aināt happy, they donāt want you to be
But not me
