Jenny from the Block (Apple Music Live)
[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
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

[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 (Come on)

[Chorus]
Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got
I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block (Sing)
Used to have a little, now I have a lot
No matter where I go I know where I came from
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)
[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 (Stay real)
To me it's like breathing, yeah

[Chorus]
Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got (Come on)
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
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

[Breakdown]
Let's go
I know where I came from
I know where I came from
I'm blowing up like you thought I would
[?], same hood, it's all good
I'm blowing up like you thought I would (Thought I, thought I)
[?], same hood, it's all good
The South Bronx, the South side Bronx
The South Bronx, the South side Bronx
The South Bronx, the South side Bronx
The South Bronx, the South side Bronx
Everyone's got to make a living
[Chorus]
Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got
I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block (Come on)
Used to have a little, now I have a lot
No matter where I go I know where I came from (Everybody hands up, let's go)
Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got
I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block (Everybody)
Used to have a little, now I have a lot
No matter where I go I know where I came from (Come on)
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 (Let's go)
No matter where I go I know where I came from
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
No matter where I go I know where I came from

The Bronx! (J.Lo, J.Lo, J.Lo, J.Lo). Thank you, thank you guys. Oh my god. Oh my god, it's good to be back. It's been too long. It's been too long, I miss you guys. You gon' make me cry, stop it. You guys are too good to me. I know you know I love you. You know I love you. Yes. Just give me a moment to take it all in. Thank you. I love you. You know I love you, thank you. Thank you for everything, everything. Do I have the best fans in the world? I think so! I don't think nobody beats ya'll, nobody. Oh my god. (I love you). You know, whenever you come back to the stage, it always feels like the first time. I come out here and you're all like, "Ahh". It feels like the first time, it never never gets old. It's always such a big joy in my life. (I love you). But this time, this time right here. You know I'm glad we did it this way. This is the first time you know, just, just a little group of us. The real real ride or dies in this motherfucker right now. I feel it, I feel it all over my body. I got the goosies from head to toe. But I gotta tell you. This time, this time feels even more special. Because it's like a brand new beginning. Right? So many things in my life has changed since I last saw you guys. And tonight, tonight I'm gonna be doin' a bunch of new songs from my new project, This Is Me... Now. That was "Hearts and Flowers". You know, I've been teasing this musical experience for over a year, because I know, I know, I know. It's not just a record though. You know, it's a very, very special project, it's a, it's a album. It's a movie. And it's also a whole behind-the-scenes story of how I got there, and I got a lot for you. You waited, but it's gonna be worth the wait, I promise you. You guys waited such a long time. My little on the J.Lo crew, over a year. So I just, I wanted to say thank you for being so patient. Thank you. I love you guys so much. It had to be perfect, for you (I love you). And you know some things that, that's 20 years in the making, you can't rush it. You know, you have to wait 'til it's ready when it's right. And a lot of people along the way asked me, "What is the album like? What is about?", and you know, I think you guys know there was This Is Me...Then (Yeah). Twenty years ago. And this is this is This Is Me...Now. So you can kinda guess what happened both times that made me write those records, I think. What the exciting incident was. Haha, yes. But it's, it's not just that, it's also about a whole life's journey. It's about the thing in life that drives you. As a person, as a human being, and the one thing that I always thought mattered, the most in life, which is love. And I always had questions, you know? I always have questions, like, "Is love real? I've got my heart broke. Is love real? Does true love exist? Does anything last forever?". And once I felt like I found the answer to that question, I had to share it with all of you, and that's what this album is.
