    “It reminds me [of], like, when I was 16 in the Bronx running up and down the block.”

    Most millennials will recognize the singer’s lyrics in her hit 2002 song Jenny From The Block, dedicated to her life growing up in the Bronx, a neighborhood of the Big Apple that was once considered a rougher area of the city.

    While looking at her reflection, in a seemingly serious state of mind, Jennifer continued: “Crazy little girl who used to be f–kin wild.

    “No limits. All dreams and s–t.”

    Just when you have forgotten how much you don't care about Jennifer Lopez and never really have, she does something random to make people remember that she exists and the fact that you don't care about Jennifer Lopez and never really have.
