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 the girl can hardly spell her name

That's not our problem, that's up to Brenda's family

Well let me show you how it affects the 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 the ghetto doesn't mean you 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 let's watch the 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 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 when the two of them

We're 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 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 nothin'', left to sell,

so she sees sex as a way of leavin' hell

It's payin' the rent, so she really can't complain, prostitute found slain

And Brenda's her name, she's got a baby



Don't you know she's got

Don't you know she's got

Don't you know she's got a baby

Don't you know she's got

Don't you know she's got

Don't you know she's got a baby



Don't you know she's got

Don't you know she's got

Don't you know she's got a baby

Don't you know she's got

Don't you know she's got

Don't you know she's got a baby



Don't you know she's got

Don't you know she's got

Don't you know she's got a baby
