Horseshoe Gang - Alternate Ending lyrics

[Dave Hollister] Brenda's got a baby [2Pac] I hear Brenda's got a baby but Brenda's barely got a brain A damn shame, the girl can hardly spell her name [Julius Luciano] Damn that's f**ed up, but that don't affect you and me [2Pac] 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 d**h 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 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 s**ing 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 [Julius Luciano] Ayo bro, I knew that female that had her child on the bathroom floor But I ain't seen her in a while, knew the story sounded familiar I just couldn't remember plus I always called her Bre, but I knew it was short for Brenda We talkin' about the same person now, I'm certain Yo, do you know after she gave birth she was on the ground for an hour, hurtin' She cleaned her baby off, wrapped it in the shower curtain Threw her baby in the trash, thought she'd be without her burden Now the baby's in the trash heap, bawlin' Momma couldn't help it, but it hurts to hear it callin' She named her baby Hope, she ain't wanna be losin' hope Got her baby out the trash, gave her baby food and clothes But she couldn't truly cope, so she started usin' dope Not only did the needle hook her but anyone in need of a hooker would call her to screw and oh Gave her dope in lieu of dough Slapped her and called her names, add injury to insult Yeah she kept screwin' dudes who viewed her as a stupid ho B-R-E-N-D-A be ready every night dudes approach But yo, even though we can't say that she's a moral girl She's not immoral, she just an amoral girl A lady of the evening, by day just a girl But most of her problems we can blame on the world She quit the dope, she ain't like her father no more She don't sell her body for d**, she don't barter no more She tryin' to get her GED while she workin' at Burger King Her family said that she could stay at home until she turned 18 And oh, you know that dude she got molested by? He got arrested Pac, her aunt called the F'in cops Her family wanted that incestuous mess to stop Now she met a guy with a college professor pops Yeah, extremely grim is what her life seemed like But I think one day Bre gon' get her cheese right [Outro] Brenda's got a baby
