Letra y Significado de BRENDA'S GOT A BABY, 2Pac


anonimo opina:

Puesto #1 El comienzo de la canción consiste de un dueto cantando el título repetidamente. La mayor parte del resto de la canción es un verso largo interpretado por Tupac. El verso comienza con Tupac hablando sobre el embarazo de Brenda. También señala que la chica no ha tenido mucha educación en su vida, que apenas sabe escribir y recalca que es una "maldita vergüenza". Tiene pocas esperanzas en su vida, su familia es muy pobre y su padre es adicto a la heroína. Brenda se queda embarazada de su novio, que resulta ser su primo, pero oculta con éxito su embarazo. Tupac explica que a su familia no le importaba que tuviera al bebé, siempre y cuando recibieran su parte de la ayuda del gobierno.

A pesar de que cree que su primo estará con ella y le ayudará a criar a su hijo, él no es más que un mujeriego y la abandona antes de dar a luz al bebé en el baño. Brenda arroja a su hijo a un cubo de basura, pero más tarde le recupera cuando escucha al bebé llorar. Su madre la regaña severamente, y Brenda se encuentra tan avergonzada de sí misma que se escapa de casa.

Brenda comienza una vida por su propia cuenta, y busca empleo sin tener éxito. Su intento de vender cocaína fracasa y, finalmente, considera la prostitución como la única forma de hacer dinero. Este camino la conduce a su asesinato. El último minuto de la canción consta de un coro cantando repetidamente "don?t you know she?s got a baby".


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
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

Baaaaaaaaby

(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)
