Brenda's got a baby   Brenda's got a baby      I hear Brenda's got a baby well, 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 the whole community   Now Brenda never really knew her moms and her dad was a junky   Went in debt to his arms, it's sad 'cause I bet Brenda doesn't even know   Just 'cause your in the ghetto doesn't mean you 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 really didn't 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 is 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 sexing her crazy and yet she thinks   That he'll be with her forever and dreams of a world when the two of them   We're 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 heep   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 heep 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, 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 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      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      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      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
