Brenda's got a Baby

Brenda's got a Baby

I hear Brenda's got a baby

But Brenda's barely got a brain

A damn shame

The girl can hardly spell her name

(That's not her problem, that's up ta Brenda's family)

Well let me show ya how it affects tha whole community

Now Brenda really never knew her moms and her dad was a

junky

PUTTIN' LEAD INTO 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 revelation

Do whatever it takes ta resist the temptation

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 really didn't 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 gettin 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 sexing her crazy

And yet all she thinks that he'll be with her forever

And dreams of a world with tha two of them are together,

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 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 end up getting robbed

So now what's next, there ain't nothin left ta sell

So she sees sex as a way of leavin hell

It's payin tha rent, so she really can't complain

Prostitute, found slain, and Brenda's her name, she's got a baby

Baaaaaaaaby
