Jenny from the Block Lyrics

[Intro: Sample]
Children grow and women producing
Men go working, some go stealing
Everyone's got to make a living
BX, uh (South side Bronx)
(South side Bronx)

[Chorus]
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 (South side Bronx, from the Bronx)

[Verse 1]
From In Living Color to movie scripts
To On the 6 to J. Lo to this
Headline clips
I stay grounded as the amounts roll in
I'm real I thought I told ya (I'm real)
I'm real even on Oprah (I'm real)
That's just me
Nothing phony, don't hate on me
What you get is what you see, oh (South side Bronx)

[Chorus]
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 (South side Bronx, from the Bronx)

[Verse 2]
I'm down to earth like this
Rocking this business
I've grown up so much
I'm in control and loving it
Rumors got me laughing, kid
I love my life and my public
Put God first and can't forget to stay real (Real)
To me it's like breathing, yeah (South side Bronx)

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge: Sample]
South Bronx, oh, the South side Bronx
F-F-F-Flip it
Boricua
Now that's what happened
South Bronx, the South side Bronx
Ah
F-F-F-Flip it
Now that's what happened
South Bronx, the South side Bronx
Boricua's in the house
F-F-F-Flip it
Now that's what happened
Hey
South Bronx, the South side Bronx
Everyone's got to make a living
Alright, now bring it back

[Chorus]
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 (South side Bronx)
No matter where I go I know where I came from (South side Bronx, 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 (South side Bronx)
No matter where I go I know where I came from (South side Bronx, from the Bronx)
Dont 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 (South side Bronx)
No matter where I go I know where I came from (South side Bronx, from the Bronx)
