Brenda`s Got A Baby Lyrics

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 our problem, that`s up ta Brenda`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 revelation
Do whatever it takes ta resist tha 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 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 Brenda`s 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, who`s sexing her crazy
And yet 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 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, 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)
