Jenny From The Block
Children grow and women producingMen go workingSome go stealingEveryone's got to make a living
LOXJ.LoWe off the block this yearWent from a little to a lot this yearEverybody mad at the rocks that I wearI know where I'm goin' and I know where I'm fromYou hear LOX in your earYeah we at the airport out in D-BlockWhere everybody Air Force'd outWith a new white Tee, you freshNothin' phoney with usMake the money, get the mansionBring the homies with us
(Chorus)Don't be fooled by the rocks that I gotI'm still, I'm still Jenny from the blockUsed to have a little, now I have a lotNo matter where I go, I know where I came from(from the Bronx!)Don't be fooled by the rocks that I gotI'm still, I'm still Jenny from the blockUsed to have a little, now I have a lotNo matter where I go, I know where I came from(from the Bronx!)
From In Living Color and movie scriptsTo On the 6, to J.Lo, to this headline clipsI stayed grounded as the amounts roll inI'm real, I thought I told youI'm real, even on OprahThat's just meNothin' phoney, don't hate on meWhat you get is what you see
(Chorus)
I'm down to earth like thisRockin' this businessI've grown up so muchI'm in control and loving itRumors got me laughing, kidLove my life and my publicPut God firstThen can't forget to stay realTo me it's like breathing
(Chorus)
It take hard work to cash checksSo don't be fooled by the rocks that I got, now assetsYou get back what you put outEven if you take the good routeCan't count the hood outAfter a while, you know who to blink withJust keep it real with the ones came in withBest thing to do is stay low, LOX and J.LoAct like they don't, but they know
(Chorus x2)
