I hear Brenda's got a baby Well, Brenda's barely got a brain
A damn shame Tha girl can hardly spell her name
(That's not her problem, that's up to Brenda's family) Well let me show ya how it affects the whole community
Now Brenda never really knew her moms and her dad was a junky puttin death into his arm
It's sad, cause I bet Brenda doesn't even know Just cause your 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 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 tha check came they got first dibs
Now Brendas belly is 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, whos sexed and 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 babys 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 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 ta sell crack, but end up getting robbed
So now what's next, there 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
