Better Place

Lyrics

[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 [Producer tag] Fumez The Engineer
