Tupac Shakur - 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 Tha 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 the whole community Now Brenda never really knew her mom And her dad was a junky Puttin' d**h into his arms, it's sad Cause I bet Brenda doesn't even know Just cause your 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 Now 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 Brendas belly's 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 s**in' her crazy And yet 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 babys in the trash heap ballin' 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 worker's 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 ended up gettin' robbed So now what's next, there ain't nothin left to sell So she sees s** 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 Baaaaaaaaby (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)
