Single Review: Jennifer Lopez "Jenny From The Block" - Page 2

In the chorus, she tells her fans not to see her as a greedy famewhore. She's actually sweet, kind Jenny Lopez from the old neighborhood. She says she didn't have much growing and now she's rich. Even if she's in Hollywood, she remembers her roots.

"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 (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 (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 (from the Bronx!)"

In the second verse, she says she's laid-back and is not a diva. She's simply trying to climb her way to the top. She's matured and has learned a lot within the past couple years. She's her own woman and independent. She hears rumors that she's had to have a stiff while making an appearance at the Top of the Pops and shrugs them off. She's loves her lavish lifestyle and her adoring fans. She thanks God for making her famous. Then, of course, she remembers she has to herself. It's natural for her.

"I'm down to earth like this/Rockin' this business/I've grown up so much/I'm in control and loving it/Rumors got me laughing, kid/Love my life and my public/Put God first/Then can't forget to stay real/To me it's like breathing."
