Jenny from the Block (Track Masters Remix) Lyrics

[Intro: Trevor Williams]
Children grow and women producing
Men go working, some go stealing
Everyone's got to make a living


[Verse 1: Jadakiss & Styles P]
L-O-X, yeah (Southside Bronx)
J.Lo, yeah (Southside Bronx)
Yeah, yo, yo (Southside Bronx)
We off the blocks this year (Off the blocks)
Went from a little to a lot this year (Yeah)
Everybody mad at the rocks that I wear (They mad)
I know where I'm goin' and I know where I'm from
You hear LOX in your ear

Yeah, we're at the airport out (We out)
D-Glock from the block where everybody air-forced out
With a new white Tee, you fresh, nothing phony with us
Make the money, get the mansion, bring the homies with us
(Southside Bronx)

[Chorus: Jennifer Lopez]
Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got
I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block
Used to have a little, now I have a lot
No matter where I go I know where I came from (From the Bronx)

Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got
I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block
Used to have a little, now I have a lot
No matter where I go I know where I came from (Southside Bronx, from the Bronx)

[Chorus: Jennifer Lopez & Jadakiss]
Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got
I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block
Used to have a little, now I have a lot
No matter where I go I know where I came from (From the Bronx, yeah)

Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got
I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block (Uh, yeah, uh-huh, yeah)
Used to have a little, now I have a lot (Yeah, uh-huh, yeah, yeah)
No matter where I go I know where I came from (Yo, yo)


[Verse 4: Jadakiss, Styles P & Trevor Williams]
It take hard work to cash checks (Uh-huh)
So don't be fooled by the rocks that I got, they assets
You get back what you put out
If even if you take the good route
Can't count the hood out

After a while you'll know who to blend with (Uh-huh)
Just keep it real with the ones came in with (Uh-huh)
Best thing to do is stay low (Yeah), LOX and J.Lo
(Everyone's got to make a living)
They act like they don't, but they know, yeah

[Chorus: Jennifer Lopez]
Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got
I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block
Used to have a little, now I have a lot
No matter where I go I know where I came from (From the Bronx)

Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got
I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block
Used to have a little, now I have a lot (Southside Bronx)
No matter where I go I know where I came from (Southside Bronix, from the Bronx)

Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got
I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block (Bronx)
Used to have a little, now I have a lot (Southside Bronx)
No matter where I go I know where I came from (Southside Bronx, from the Bronx)

Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got
I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block (Bronx)
Used to have a little, now I have a lot (Southside Bronx)
No matter where I go I know where I came from (Southside Bronx, from the Bronx)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“Jenny From the Block” was the lead single from Jennifer Lopez’s third album This Is Me… Then. The sample-heavy hip-hop track produced by Trackmasters pays tribute to Lopez childhood growing up in the Bronx.

The single reached the Top 10 of pop charts in numerous countries (#2 in Canada, #3 in the US x 3 weeks), and with that, “Jenny From the Block” has since become yet another affectionate nickname Lopez answers to.
