You know they say that home's where the heart is, Izzy, I'm from the home of the heartless, Highbury Estate and Essex Roads where it started, This is way before Joey got known as an artist, Me, I love my borough, I've been living there my whole life, Natural born hustler turned my strip into a goldmine, And music from the corner was my remedy, When life started stressing me I'd just fling on some Chester P, Izzy, I got love for every flat, Izzy, I put my borough on the map, And Izzy's full of real hustlers in the trap, This is Izzy where I ain't the only brother that can rap, It's only right that I rep my sides, Come take a trip from N1 to N19, Yeah, yeah, it really gets busy, In the middle of the city, middle finger up for Izzy, I made it through muddy waters, Just to reach my hand, And it's true, The grass is greener on the other side, Look, I don't know if I'm happy with the man I've become, I'm slowly falling out of love with the man I'm from, I find it hard to understand what all the man them are on, It saddens me we was family, don't know how it went wrong, A sticky situation to 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 a ship straight, 40 years my passion, now I've switched my lane, Still bringing through talent, just in a different lane, Still inspiring the youths, just in a different way, Still independent, just in a different game, Just tryna make it out of Islington, it's hard enough, When youths from the rougher boroughs used to laugh at us, You can take me out of Izzy, but I'll never change, All I'm tryna do is make my hometown a better place, I made it through muddy waters, Just to reach my hand, And it's true, Grass is greener, On the other side, Views the engineer, And it's true, Grass is greener, On the other side,
