Brenda's Got A Baby 2Pac

[00:15.97] Brenda's got a baby
[00:27.36] Brenda's got a baby
[00:34.84]
[00:36.92] I hear Brenda's got a baby
[00:38.51] But, Brenda's barely got a brain
[00:40.36] A damn shame
[00:41.44] The girl can hardly spell her name
[00:43.18] (That's not our problem, that's up to Brenda's family)
[00:46.05] Well, let me show you how it affects our whole community
[00:48.99] Now Brenda never really knew her moms
[00:50.92] And her dad was a junkie, puttin' death into his arms
[00:53.88] It's sad, 'cause I bet Brenda doesn't even know
[00:56.53] Just 'cause you're in the ghetto doesn't mean you can't grow
[01:00.28] But oh, that's a thought, my own revelation
[01:03.15] Do whatever it takes ta resist the temptation
[01:05.94] Brenda got herself a boyfriend
[01:08.37] Her boyfriend was her cousin, now lets watch the joy end
[01:11.08] She tried to hide her pregnancy, from her family
[01:13.85] Who didn't really care to see, or give a damn if she
[01:17.36] Went out and had a church of kids
[01:19.86] As long as when the check came they got first dibs
[01:22.95] Now Brenda's belly's gettin' bigger
[01:25.56] But no one seems to notice any change in her figure
[01:28.32] She's 12 years old and she's having a baby
[01:31.19] In love with the molester, who's sexin' her crazy
[01:34.23] And yet and also thinks that he'll be with her forever
[01:36.95] And dreams of a world with the two of them are together
[01:40.04] Whatever
[01:41.08] He left her and she had the baby solo, she had it on the bathroom floor
[01:44.43] And didn't know so, she didn't know what to throw away and what to keep
[01:48.52] She wrapped the baby up and threw him in the trash heap
[01:51.14] I guess she thought she'd get away, wouldn't hear the cries
[01:54.50] She didn't realize, how much the little baby had her eyes
[01:57.58] Now the baby's in the trash heap, balling
[01:59.97] Momma can't help her, but it hurts to hear her calling
[02:03.82] Brenda wants to run away
[02:05.23] Momma say, "You makin' me lose pay, and social workers here everyday"
[02:09.12] Now Brenda's gotta make her own way
[02:11.21] Can't go to her family, they won't let her stay
[02:14.50] No money, no babysitter, she couldn't keep a job
[02:17.11] She tried to sell crack, but end up getting robbed
[02:20.03] So now what's next, there ain't nothin' left to sell
[02:22.87] So she sees sex as a way of leavin' hell
[02:25.65] It's payin' the rent, so she really can't complain
[02:28.62] Prostitute, found slain, and Brenda's her name, she's got a baby
[02:31.66]
