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 her problem that's up to Brenda's family)

Well let me show how it affects the 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's doesn't even know

Just cause your in 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 boy friend was her cousin, now lets 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 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 12 years old and she is having a baby

In love with the molester who is sexing her crazy

And yet she thinks that he'll be with her forever

And dreams of a world with the two of them together, whatever

He left her and she had a baby solo, she had it on the bathroom floor

And she 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 the trash heep

I guess she thought she'd go away

Wouldn't hear the cries

She didn't realise

How much the little baby had her eyes

Now the babys in the trash heep keep balling

Momma can't help her, but it hurts ta hear her calling

Brenda wants to run away

Momma say, you makin' me lose pay, the 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 to sell crack, but end up getting robbed

So now what's next it ain't notting left to sell

So she sees sex as a way of living hell

It's payin the rent so she really can't complain

Prostitute, fair slang and Brenda's her name, she's got a baby
