Brenda's Got A Baby - (Explicit) Lyrics
2Pac
Lyrics
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 you how it affects the whole community
Now Brenda really never knew her mom and her dad was a junky
Went in death to his arms,
It's sad cause i bet Breda doesnt even know
Just cause your in the gettho doesnt mean ya can't grow
But oh, that's a thought
My own revelation
Do whatever it takes to resist the temptation
Brenda got her self 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 cam they got first dibs
Now Brenda's belly is getting 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 all she think's that he'll be with her forever
And dreams of a world with the 2 of them are together
Whatever
He left her and she had ther baby solo
She had it on the batheroom floor and didn't know so
She didn't know what throw away and what to keep
She wrapped the baby up and threw him away in the trash heep
I guess she thought she'd get away
Would'nt hear the cries
She didn't realize
How much the litte 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 making me loose pay
The social workers here everyday
Now brenda's gotta make her own way
Can't go to her family, they wont let her stay
No money no babysitter, she couldn't keep a job
She tried to sell crack, but end up getting robbed
So whats next, there ain't nothing left to sell
So she sees sex asa way of leaving hell
it's paying the rent so she really cant complain
Prostitute found slain
And Brenda's her name
She's got a baby
