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 ya how it affects our whole community
Now Brenda really never knew her moms
and her dad was a junky 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 ya 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 tha check came they got first dibs
Now Brenda`s belly`s 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 sexed and a 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 the bathroom floor and didn`t know so
She didn`t know what ta throw away and what to keep
She wrapped the baby up and threw him in the trash heep
I guess she thought she`d get away, wouldn`t hear the cries
She didn`t realize how much tha the little baby had her eyes
Now tha baby`s in the trash heep balling
Momma can`t help her, but it hurts to hear her calling
Brenda wants ta run away, momma say, you makin` me lose pay
And social work is 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, it ain`t nothin left ta sell
So she sees sex as a way of leavin hell
It`s payin tha 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)
(don`t you know she`s got)
(don`t you know she`s got)
(don`t you know she`s got a baby)
(don`t you know she`s got)
(don`t you know she`s got)
(don`t you know she`s got a baby
