Song: Brenda's got a Baby
Brenda's got a Baby
Brenda's got a Baby
I hear Brenda's got a baby
well, Brenda's barely got a brain
a damn shame
tha girl can hardly spell her name
That's not her problem, that's up ta Brend's family
well let me show ya how it affects tha whole community
Now Brenda never really knew her moms and her dad was a junky
went in debt to his arms, it's sad
cause I bet Brenda doesn't even know
just cause your in tha ghetto doesn't mean ya can't grow
but oh, that's a thought, my own revalation
do whatever it takes ta resist tha temptaion
Brenda got herself a boyfriend
her boyfriend was her cousin, now lets watch tha joy end
she tried to hide her pregnancy, from her family
who didn't really care to see, or give a damn if she
went out and had a church of kids
as long as when tha check came they got first dibs
now Brendas belly is getten bigger
but no one seems ta notice any change in her figure
she's 12 years old and she's having a baby
in love with tha molester, whos sexed and crazy
and yet she thinks that he'll be with her forever
and dreams of a world with tha two of them altogether, whatever
he left her and she had tha baby solo, she had it on tha bathroom
floor
and didn't know so, she didn't know, what ta throw away and what
ta keep
she wrapped tha baby up and threw him in tha trash heep
I guess she thought she'd get away
wouldn't hear tha cries
she didn't realize
how much tha tha little baby had her eyes
now tha babys in tha trash heep balling
momma can't help her, but it hurts ta hear her calling
Brenda wants ta run away
momma say, you makin' me lose pay, tha social workers here
everyday
now Brenda's gotta make her own way
can't go to her family, they won't let her stay
no money no babysitter, she couldn't keep a job
she tried ta sell crack, but ended up getting robbed
so now what's next, there ain't nothen left ta sell
so she sees sex as a way of leaven hell
it's payen tha rent, so she really can't complain
prostatute, fair slang, and Brenda's her name, she's got a baby
Baaaaaaaaby
(don't you know she's got a baby)
(don't you know she's got a baby)
(don't you know she's got a baby)
(don't you know she's got a baby)
(don't you know she's got a baby)
(don't you know she's got a baby)
