After the chorus, the LOX rap in the bridge. The KRS-One sample is used. They say they work hard to get to where they are now. Their jewelry is an investment, not something to show off. Positive karma has made them stars. They saw even the people living in the ghetto can make it. They add people know who their true friends are.
"It take hard work to cash checks/So don't be fooled by the rocks that I got, now assets/You get back what you put out/Even if you take the good route/Can't count the hood out/
After a while, you know who to blink with/Just keep it real with the ones came in with/Best thing to do is stay low, LOX and J.Lo/Act like they don't, but they know."
The chorus is sung four times to close the single.
Lopez's damage control on her image fails with each unoriginal, fabricated note. Her life of excess has been well-photographed. Her rider on the Smoking Gun has been discussed at length. On her appearance on Oprah, she spoke about being private with her marriage to Cris Judd (which turned out to be false.) Her constant insistence to remind everyone that she's real proves she's not.
The music itself is not even real. It's been created already by by KRS-One and the Beatnuts.
"Jenny From the Block" is proudly disingenuous and insulting.. It assumes people take her single as the gospel truth, dismissing each story they've read about her.

I love how J.Lo claims to write her own songs. ELEVEN people are credited in writing this one.
