2Pac - 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. 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 never really knew her moms, and her dad was a junkie putting death into his arm. It's sad because I bet Brenda doesn't even know just because 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 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 getting bigger, but no one seems to notice any change in her figure.

She's twelve years old, and she's having a baby. In love with a molester who's sexing her crazy. And yet and 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 the little baby had her eyes. Now the baby's in the trash heap bawling. Momma can't help her, but it hurts to hear her calling.

Brenda wants to run away. Momma say, "you making me lose pay." The social workers here every day. Now Brenda's got to 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...? 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 baby? 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 baby?
