Brenda´s got a Baby
Brenda´s got a Baby

I hear Brenda´s got a baby
But, 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 ya how it affects the whole community
Now Brenda really never knew her moms and her dad was a
junky
Went in death to his arms, 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 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 with the two of them are 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 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 nothing left to sell
So she sees sex as a way of leaving hell
It´s paying the rent, so she really can´t complain
Prostitute, found slain, and Brenda´s her name, she´s got a baby

Baby

(don´t you know she´s got a baby)
(don´t you know she´s got a baby)
(don´t you know she´s got a baby)
(don´t you know she´s got a baby)
(don´t you know she´s got a baby)

(don´t you know she´s got a baby)

Brenda´s got a baby Brenda´s got a Baby

Brenda a un bébé
Brenda´s got a Baby
Brenda a un bébé

I hear Brenda´s got a baby
J´entends que Brenda a un bébé
Well, Brenda´s barely got a baby
Bien, Brenda n´est pas encore mûre
A damm shame
Une putain de honte
Tha girl can hardly spell her name
La fille ne peut pas encore épeler son nom

(That´s not her probleme, that´s up ta Brenda´s family)
(Ce n´est pas un problème, c´est celui de sa famille)
Well let me show ya how it affects tha whole community
Bien laissez-moi vous montrer comment ceci affecte notre communauté toute entière
Now Brenda never really knew her moms and her had dad was a

Maintenant Brenda ne connaissait pas vraiment sa mère et son père était un
Junky
Junky
Whent in debt to his arms, it´s sad
Elle avait des dettes pleins les bras, c´est triste
Cause I bet Brenda doesn´t even know
Parce que je parie que Brenda ne le sait même pas que
Just cause your in tha ghetto doesn´t mean ya can´t grow
Seulement parce que vous êtes dans le ghetto vous ne pouvez pas grandir
But oh, that´s a thought, my own revelation
Mais bon, ce n´est qu´une pensé, ma propre révélation
Do whatever it takes ta resist tha temptation

Fait que, qoi ils prennent, il faut résister í  la tentation
Brenda got herself a boyfriend
Brenda a son propre petit ami
Her boyfriend was her cousin, now lets watch tha joy end
Son petit ami étais son cousin, laisse les regarder la fin du bonheur
She tried to hide her pregnancy, from her family
Elle a essayé de cacher sa grossesse, í  sa famille
Who didn´t really care to see, or give a damm if she
Qui ne s´en ait était soucié de voir, ou de donner quelque chose si elle
Went out and had a church of kids
Sortait dehors et avoir une église pour les enfants

Now brendas belly is gettin bigger
Maintenant Brenda voit que son ventre devient plus gros
But no one seems ta notice any change in her figure
Mais personne ne voit un changement sur son visage
She´s 12 years old and she´s having a baby
Elle a 12 ans et elle a un bébé
In love with tha molester, whos sexed and crazy
Amoureuse d´un agresseur, qu´il l´a rendu folle
And yet she thinks that he´ll be with her forever
Et elle pense qu´il restera toujours avec elle
And dreams of a world with tha two of them are together,
Et rêve d´un monde ou deux d´entre eux seront
Whatever

Ensemble
He left her and she had tha baby solo, she had it on tha
Il l´a quitté et elle a fait un bébé toute seule, elle l´a fait sur le sol de la
Bathroom foor
Salle de bain
And didn´t wrapped know so, she didn´t know, what ta throw away and
Et ne savait donc pas, elle ne savait pas, pourquoi l´abandonner et
What ta keep
Pourquoi le garder
She wrapped tha baby up and threw him in tha trash heep
Elle a enveloppé le bébé et l´a jeté dans les ordures
I guess she thought shé´d get away

Je pense qu´elle croyait qu´il allait disparaître
Wouldn´t hear tha cries?
Elle n´entends pas les pleurs?
She didn´t realize
Elle ne s´est pas rendue compte
How much tha tha little baby had her eyes
Combien ce petit bébé comptait í  ses yeux
Now tha babys in tha trash heep bailing
Maintenant le bébé dans les poubelles
Momma can´t help her, but it huts ta hear her cailling
Sa mère ne peut pas l´aider, mais ses blessures l´apelles
Brenda´s wants ta run away
Brenda veut partir
Momma say, you makin´ me lose pay, tha social workers here everyday

Sa mère lui dit, tu me fait perdre ma paye, les assistances sociales travaillent tous les jours ici
Now Brenda´s gotta make her own way
Maintenant Brenda doir faire sa propre vie
Can´t ti her family, they won´t let her stay
Elle ne peut pas aller chez sa famille, ils ne l´a laisseront pas rester
Now money no babysitter, she couldn´t keep a job
Sans argent, sans baby-sitter, elle ne peut pas trouver de travail
She tried ta sell crack, but end up getting robbed
Elle a essayer de vendre du crack, mais elle s´est fait violer
So now what´s next, there ain´t nothin left ta sell
Alors maintenant quel est le prochain (boulot)? Il n´y a rien d´autre que la vente

So she sees sex as a way of leavin hell
Elle voit le sexe comme un chemin vers l´enfer
It´s payin tha rent, so she really can´t complain
Cela lui permet de payer le loyer, donc elle ne se plaint pas vraiment
Prostitute, fair slang, and Brenda´s her name, she´s got a baby
Une prostituée est trouvée morte, et Brenda est son nom, elle a un bébé
Baaaaaaaaby
Baaaaaaaaby
(Don´t you know she´s got a baby?) X 6
(Ne savais-tu pas qu´elle avait un bébé?) X 6
