Children grow and women producing
Men go working
And some go stealing
Everyone's got to make a living
(The LOX):
L-O-X, uh yeah, J.Lo, yeah
Yeah, yo, yo we off the block this year
Went from a little to a lot this year
Everybody mad at the rocks that I wear
I know where I'm going and I know where I'm from
You hear LOX in the air
Yeah we at the airport out D-Block
From the block where everybody Air Forced out
With a new white T.V fresh
Nothin' phony with us
Make the money, get the mansion, bring the homies wit' us
Chorus:
(J.Lo)
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!)
(Chorus)
(J.Lo)
From "In Living Color" to movie scripts
To "On The Six", to "J.Lo" to this, headline clips
I stay grounded
As the amounts roll in
I'm real I thought I told you (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
(Chorus x 2)
(J.Lo)
I'm down to earth like this
Rockin' this business
I've grown up so much
I'm in control and lovin' it
Rumors got me laughin' kid
Love my life and my public
Put God first and can't forget to stay real
To me its like breathin', yeah
(Chorus x 2)
(The LOX)
Yo, yo
It take hard work to cash checks
So don't be fooled by the rocks that I got, they 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'll know who to blend with
Just keep it real with the ones you came in with
Best thing to do is stay low
LOX and J.Lo
They act like they don't but they know
(Everyone's got to make a living)
(Chorus x 4)
