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 our problem, that`s up to Brenda`s family)
Well let me show ya how it affects the whole community
Now Brenda really never knew her moms and her dad was a
junky
Went in death to his arms, it`s sad
Cause I bet Brenda doesn`t even know
Just cause your in the ghetto doesn`t mean ya can`t grow
But oh, that`s a thought, my own revelation
Do whatever it takes to resist the temptation
Brenda got herself a boyfriend
Her boyfriend was her cousin, now lets watch the 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 the check came they got first dibs
Now Brenda`s belly is gettin bigger
But no one seems to notice any change in her figure
She`s 12 years old and she`s having a baby
In love with the molester, who`s sexing her crazy
And yet she thinks that he`ll be with her forever
And dreams of a world with the two of them are together,
whatever
He left her and she had the baby solo, she had it on the
bathroom floor
And didn`t know so, she didn`t know, what to throw away and
what to keep
She wrapped the baby up and threw him in the trash heep
I guess she thought she`d get away
Wouldn`t hear the cries
She didn`t realize
How much the the little baby had her eyes
Now the baby`s in the trash heep balling
Momma can`t help her, but it hurts to hear her calling
Brenda wants to run away
Momma say, you makin` me lose pay, the 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 to sell crack, but end up getting robbed
So now what`s next, there ain`t nothing left to sell
So she sees sex as a way of leaving hell
It`s paying the rent, so she really can`t complain
Prostitute, found slain, and Brenda`s her name, she`s got a baby
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)
(Don`t you know she`s got a baby)
