[2Pac, Dave Hollister - 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 you how
It affects our whole community
Now Brenda really never knew her moms
And her dad was a junkie
Puttin' death into his arms it's sad
'cause I bet Brenda doesn't even know
Just 'cause you're 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's gettin' bigger
But no one seems to notice
Any change in her figure
She's twelve years old and
She's havin' a baby in love with a molester
Who's sexin' her crazy
And yet and all she thinks that
He'll be with her forever
And dreams of a world where 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 a trash heap
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 heap, bawlin'
Mama can't help her
But it hurts to hear her callin'
Brenda wants to run away
Mama say "You makin' me lose pay
There's social workers here every day"
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 gettin' robbed so now
What's next? It 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
Baby don't you know she's got a
Don't you know she's got a
Don't you know she's got a baby?
Don't you know she's got a
Don't you know she's got a
Don't you know she's got a baby?
Don't you know she's got a
Don't you know she's got a
Don't you know she's got a baby?
Don't you know she's got a
Don't you know she's got a
Don't you know she's got a baby?
Don't you know she's got a
Don't you know she's got a
Don't you know she's got a baby?
Don't you know she's got a
Don't you know she's got a
Don't you know she's got a baby?
