Lyrics

[00:15] Brenda's got a baby
[00:25] Brenda's got a baby
[00:35] I hear brenda's got a baby
[00:38] Well, brenda's barely got a brain
[00:39] A damn shame
[00:41] Tha girl can hardly spell her name
[00:42] That's not her problem, that's up ta brenda's family
[00:45] Well let me show ya how it affects tha whole community
[00:48] Now brenda never really knew her moms and her dad was a junky
[00:51] Went in debt to his arms, it's sad
[00:54] Cause i bet brenda doesn't even know
[00:56] Just cause your in tha ghetto doesn't mean ya can't grow
[00:59] But oh, that's a thought, my own revelation
[01:02] Do whatever it takes ta resist tha temptation
[01:05] Brenda got herself a boyfriend
[01:07] Her boyfriend was her cousin, now lets watch tha joy end
[01:10] She tried to hide her pregnancy, from her family
[01:13] Who didn't really care to see, or give a damn if she
[01:16] Went out and had a church of kids
[01:19] As long as when tha check came they got first dibs
[01:22] Now brendas belly is gettin bigger
[01:25] But no one seems ta notice any change in her figure
[01:27] She's 12 years old and she's having a baby
[01:30] In love with tha molester, who's sexing her crazy
[01:33] And yet she thinks that he'll be with her forever
[01:36] And dreams of a world with tha two of them are together, whatever
[01:40] He left her and she had tha baby solo, she had it on tha bathroom floor
[01:43] And didn't know so, she didn't know, what ta throw away and what ta keep
[01:47] She wrapped tha baby up and threw him in tha trash heep
[01:50] I guess she thought she'd get away
[01:52] Wouldn't hear tha cries
[01:53] She didn't realize
[01:55] How much tha tha little baby had her eyes
[01:57] Now tha babys in tha trash heep balling
[01:59] Momma can't help her, but it hurts ta hear her calling
[02:02] Brenda wants ta run away
[02:04] Momma say, you makin' me lose pay, tha social workers here everyday
[02:08] Now brenda's gotta make her own way
[02:10] Can't go to her family, they won't let her stay
[02:13] No money no babysitter, she couldn't keep a job
[02:16] She tried ta sell crack, but end up getting robbed
[02:19] So now what's next, there ain't nothin left ta sell
[02:22] So she sees sex as a way of leavin hell
[02:25] It's payin tha rent, so she really can't complain
[02:28] Prostitute, fair slang, and brenda's her name, she's got a baby
[02:32] Baaaaaaaaby
[02:40] Don't you know she's got a baby
[02:44] Don't you know she's got a baby
[02:46] Don't you know she's got a baby
[02:52] Don't you know she's got a baby
[02:55] Don't you know she's got a baby
[02:58] Don't you know she's got a baby
[03:02]
