2pac - Brenda's Got A Baby lyrics

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 her 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 brendas 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 s**ing 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 s** 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)
