Brenda's Got A Baby lyrics

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)
