I hear Brenda's got a baby |
| [00:38.990] |
Well, Brenda's barely got a brain |
| [00:40.820] |
A damn shame |
| [00:42.190] |
The girl can hardly spell her name |
| [00:43.790] |
(That's not her problem that's up to Brenda's family) |
| [00:46.330] |
Well let me show how it affects the whole community |
| [00:49.380] |
Now Brenda never really knew her moms and her dad was a junky |
| [00:52.290] |
Went in debt to his arms, it's sad |
| [00:55.050] |
Cause I bet Brenda's doesn't even know |
| [00:57.130] |
Just cause your in ghetto doesn't mean you can't grow |
| [01:00.400] |
But oh, that's a thought my own revelation |
| [01:03.450] |
Do whatever it takes to resist the temptation |
| [01:06.550] |
Brenda got herself a boyfriend |
| [01:08.630] |
Her boy friend was her cousin, now lets watch the joy end |
| [01:11.460] |
She tried to hide her pregnancy, from her family |
| [01:14.440] |
Who really didn't care to see, or give a damn if she |
| [01:18.110] |
Went out and had a church of kids |
| [01:20.380] |
As long as the check came they got first dibs |
| [01:23.820] |
Now Brenda's belly is getting bigger |
| [01:25.930] |
But no one seems to notice any change in her figure |
| [01:28.840] |
She's 12 years old and she is having a baby |
| [01:31.600] |
In love with the molester who is sexing her crazy |
| [01:34.500] |
And yet she thinks that he'll be with her forever |
| [01:37.370] |
And dreams of a world with the two of them together, whatever |
| [01:40.950] |
He left her and she had a baby solo, she had it on the bathroom floor |
| [01:44.670] |
And she didn't know so, she didn't know, what to throw away and what to keep |
| [01:48.960] |
She wrapped the baby up and threw him in the trash heep |
| [01:51.730] |
I guess she thought she'd go away |
| [01:53.340] |
Wouldn't hear the cries |
| [01:54.780] |
She didn't realise |
| [01:56.180] |
How much the little baby had her eyes |
| [01:58.220] |
Now the babys in the trash heep keep balling |
| [02:00.500] |
Momma can't help her, but it hurts ta hear her calling |
| [02:03.410] |
Brenda wants to run away |
| [02:05.680] |
Momma say, you makin' me lose pay, the social workers here everyday |
| [02:09.290] |
Now Brenda's gotta make her own way |
| [02:11.960] |
Can't go to her family, they won't let her stay |
| [02:14.800] |
No money no babysitter, she couldn't keep a job |
| [02:17.640] |
She tried to sell crack, but end up getting robbed |
| [02:20.620] |
So now what's next it ain't notting left to sell |
| [02:23.260] |
So she sees sex as a way of living hell |
| [02:26.390] |
It's payin the rent so she really can't complain |
| [02:29.180] |
Prostitute, fair slang and Brenda's her name, she's got a baby |
| [02:34.680] |
Baaaaaaby |
