Brenda's got a baby
Brenda's got a baby
ย
I hear Brenda's got a baby
But, 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, puttin' death 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 ta resist the temptation
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 Brenda's 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 sexin' her crazy
And yet and also thinks that he'll be with her forever
And dreams of a world with 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 the 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 baby's in the trash heap, balling
Momma can't help her, but it hurts to hear her calling
Brenda wants to run away
Momma say, "You makin' me lose pay, and 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, there ain't nothin' left to sell
So she sees sex 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
