[Verse 1]
You know they say that home is where the heart is
Issy, I'm from the home of the heartless
Highbury Estate and Essex Road's where it started
This is way before Joey got known as a artist
Me, I love my borough
I been living there my whole life
Natural born hustler
Turn my strip into a goldmine
The music from the corner was my remedy
When life started stressing me I just fling on some Chester P
Issy, I got love for every flats
Issy, I put my borough on the map
And Issy's full of real hustlers in the trap
This is Issy, where I ain't the only brother that can rap
It's only right that I rep my side
Come take a trip, from N1 to N19
Yeah, yeah it really gets busy
In the middle of the city
Middle finger up for Issy

[Chorus]
Wading through
Muddy waters
Just to reach my high
And it's true
Grass is greener
On the other side
[Verse 2]
Look I dunno if I'm happy with the man I've become
I'm slowly falling out of love with the manor I'm from
I find it hard to understand what all the mandem are on
It saddens me, we was family
Don't know how it went wrong
Sticky situations will show you a man's true colours
There's nothing worse than when you vouch for a sucker
But I guess we all learn from our mistakes
Elevate, to a better place
Fly your ship straight
Footy is my passion now, I've switched my lane
Still bringing through talent, just in a different lane
Still inspiring the youts, just in a different way
Still independent, just in a different game
Cos tryna' make it out of Islington is hard enough
Whwn youts from the rougher boroughs used to laugh at us
You can take me out of Issy but I'll never change
All I'm tryna' do is make my hometown a batter place

[Chorus]
Wading through
Muddy waters
Just to reach my high
And it's true
Grass is greener
On the other side
