Brenda's Got a Baby
Deon Evans, Tupac Amaru Shakur
Brenda's (Brenda's)
Got a (got a)
Baby
Say that one more time Brenda
Brenda's
Got a (baby)
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 our whole community
Now Brenda really never knew her moms and her dad was a
Junky, puttin' death to his arms, it's sad 'cause I bet
Brenda doesn't even know
Just 'cause you're in the ghetto doesn't mean you can't grow (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 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 and also 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 heap
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 heap 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
And social workers here every day"
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) (ooh)
(Don't you know she's got a) (hoo)
(Don't you know she's got a baby) (ohh ahh)
She's had a baby
(Don't you know she's got a) (yes, she had)
(Don't you know she's got a) (yes, she)
(Don't you know she's got a baby) (she's had a baby)
(Don't you know she's got a) (I know, I know)
(Don't you know she's got a) (I, I, I know)
(Don't you know she's got a baby) (I, I, I, know)
I know, know know, know, know, know, know, know
(Don't you know she's got a) (know, know, know, know)
(Don't you know she's got a) (I know, I know)
(Don't you know she's got a baby) (so all alone with a baby)
(Don't you know she's got a) (she's got no food to eat)
(Don't you know she's got a) (no bed to sleep)
(Don't you know she's got a baby) (no money to put shoes on her baby's feet, yeah)
(Don't you know she's got a) (ooh)
(Don't you know she's got a) (ooh)

I hear Brenda's got a baby
Ich höre, Brenda hat ein Baby
But Brenda's barely got a brain
Aber Brenda hat kaum ein Gehirn
A damn shame, the girl can hardly spell her name
Eine verdammte Schande, das Mädchen kann kaum ihren Namen buchstabieren
(That's not our problem, that's up to Brenda's family)
(Das ist nicht unser Problem, das liegt an Brendas Familie)
Well, let me show ya how it affects our whole community
Nun, lass mich dir zeigen, wie es unsere ganze Gemeinschaft betrifft
Now Brenda really never knew her moms and her dad was a
Jetzt hat Brenda ihre Mutter wirklich nie gekannt und ihr Vater war ein
Junky, puttin' death to his arms, it's sad 'cause I bet
Junkie, der seinen Armen den Tod bringt, es ist traurig, weil ich wette
Brenda doesn't even know
Brenda weiß es nicht einmal
Just 'cause you're in the ghetto doesn't mean you can't grow (you can't grow)
Nur weil du im Ghetto bist, heißt das nicht, dass du nicht wachsen kannst (du kannst nicht wachsen)
But oh, that's a thought, my own revelation
Aber oh, das ist ein Gedanke, meine eigene Offenbarung
Do whatever it takes to resist the temptation
Tu alles, was nötig ist, um der Versuchung zu widerstehen
Brenda got herself a boyfriend
Brenda hat sich einen Freund zugelegt
Her boyfriend was her cousin, now let's watch the joy end
Ihr Freund war ihr Cousin, jetzt lasst uns das Ende der Freude beobachten
She tried to hide her pregnancy, from her family
Sie versuchte, ihre Schwangerschaft vor ihrer Familie zu verbergen
Who didn't really care to see, or give a damn if she
Die es wirklich nicht sehen wollte, oder es war ihnen egal, ob sie
Went out and had a church of kids
Rausging und eine Kirche voller Kinder hatte
As long as when the check came they got first dibs
Solange sie, wenn der Scheck kam, den ersten Zugriff hatten
Now Brenda's belly is gettin' bigger
Jetzt wird Brendas Bauch immer größer
But no one seems to notice any change in her figure
Aber niemand scheint eine Veränderung in ihrer Figur zu bemerken
She's 12 years old and she's having a baby
Sie ist 12 Jahre alt und bekommt ein Baby
In love with the molester, who's sexing her crazy
Verliebt in den Missbraucher, der sie verrückt macht
And yet and also she thinks that he'll be with her forever
Und doch glaubt sie auch, dass er für immer bei ihr sein wird
And dreams of a world with the two of them are together
Und träumt von einer Welt, in der die beiden zusammen sind
Whatever, he left her and she had the baby solo
Was auch immer, er verließ sie und sie bekam das Baby alleine
She had it on the bathroom floor and didn't know so
Sie bekam es auf dem Badezimmerboden und wusste es nicht
She didn't know, what to throw away and what to keep
Sie wusste nicht, was sie wegwerfen und was sie behalten sollte
She wrapped the baby up and threw him in the trash heap
Sie wickelte das Baby ein und warf es auf den Müllhaufen
I guess she thought she'd get away, wouldn't hear the cries
Ich denke, sie dachte, sie würde davonkommen, würde die Schreie nicht hören
She didn't realize
Sie hat nicht realisiert
How much the the little baby had her eyes
Wie sehr das kleine Baby ihre Augen hatte
Now the baby's in the trash heap balling
Jetzt ist das Baby auf dem Müllhaufen am Weinen
Momma can't help her, but it hurts to hear her calling
Mama kann ihr nicht helfen, aber es tut weh, sie rufen zu hören
Brenda wants to run away
Brenda will weglaufen
Momma say, "You makin' me lose pay
Mama sagt: „Du bringst mich dazu, Gehalt zu verlieren
And social workers here every day"
Und Sozialarbeiter sind jeden Tag hier“
Now Brenda's gotta make her own way
Jetzt muss Brenda ihren eigenen Weg gehen
Can't go to her family, they won't let her stay
Sie kann nicht zu ihrer Familie gehen, sie lassen sie nicht bleiben
No money, no babysitter, she couldn't keep a job
Kein Geld, keine Babysitterin, sie konnte keinen Job behalten
She tried to sell crack, but end up getting robbed
Sie versuchte, Crack zu verkaufen, wurde aber ausgeraubt
So now what's next, there ain't nothing left to sell
Also, was kommt als nächstes, es gibt nichts mehr zu verkaufen
So she sees sex as a way of leaving hell
Also sieht sie Sex als einen Weg, die Hölle zu verlassen
It's paying the rent, so she really can't complain
Es zahlt die Miete, also kann sie sich wirklich nicht beschweren
Prostitute, found slain, and Brenda's her name, she's got a baby
Prostituierte, tot aufgefunden, und Brenda ist ihr Name, sie hat ein Baby

Drogado, colocando a morte em seus braços, é triste porque eu aposto
Brenda doesn't even know
Brenda nem mesmo sabe
Just 'cause you're in the ghetto doesn't mean you can't grow (you can't grow)

She tried to hide her pregnancy, from her family

Who didn't really care to see, or give a damn if she
Que realmente não se importava em ver, ou se importava se ela
Went out and had a church of kids
Saiu e teve uma igreja de crianças
As long as when the check came they got first dibs
Desde que quando o cheque chegou eles tiveram a primeira escolha
Now Brenda's belly is gettin' bigger
Agora a barriga da Brenda está ficando maior

She's 12 years old and she's having a baby
Ela tem 12 anos e está tendo um bebê
In love with the molester, who's sexing her crazy
Apaixonada pelo molestador, que está a enlouquecendo de sexo
And yet and also she thinks that he'll be with her forever
E ainda assim ela acha que ele ficará com ela para sempre
And dreams of a world with the two of them are together
E sonha com um mundo onde os dois estão juntos
Whatever, he left her and she had the baby solo
Seja o que for, ele a deixou e ela teve o bebê sozinha
She had it on the bathroom floor and didn't know so
Ela teve no chão do banheiro e não sabia
She didn't know, what to throw away and what to keep
Ela não sabia, o que jogar fora e o que guardar
She wrapped the baby up and threw him in the trash heap
Ela enrolou o bebê e jogou-o no monte de lixo
I guess she thought she'd get away, wouldn't hear the cries
Eu acho que ela pensou que escaparia, não ouviria os gritos
She didn't realize
Ela não percebeu
How much the the little baby had her eyes
Quanto o pequeno bebê tinha seus olhos
Now the baby's in the trash heap balling
Agora o bebê está no monte de lixo chorando

Can't go to her family, they won't let her stay
Não pode ir para a família dela, eles não a deixarão ficar
No money, no babysitter, she couldn't keep a job
Sem dinheiro, sem babá, ela não conseguia manter um emprego
She tried to sell crack, but end up getting robbed
Ela tentou vender crack, mas acabou sendo roubada
So now what's next, there ain't nothing left to sell
Então agora o que vem a seguir, não há nada mais para vender
So she sees sex as a way of leaving hell

It's paying the rent, so she really can't complain
Está pagando o aluguel, então ela realmente não pode reclamar

Her boyfriend was her cousin, now let's watch the joy end
Su novio era su primo, ahora veamos cómo termina la alegría
She tried to hide her pregnancy, from her family
Intentó ocultar su embarazo, a su familia
Who didn't really care to see, or give a damn if she
A quienes realmente no les importaba ver, o les importaba un comino si ella
Went out and had a church of kids
Salía y tenía una iglesia de niños
As long as when the check came they got first dibs
Mientras cuando llegaba el cheque ellos tenían la primera opción

She's 12 years old and she's having a baby
Tiene 12 años y está teniendo un bebé
In love with the molester, who's sexing her crazy
Enamorada del abusador, que la está volviendo loca con sexo
And yet and also she thinks that he'll be with her forever
Y aún así también piensa que él estará con ella para siempre
And dreams of a world with the two of them are together
Y sueña con un mundo en el que los dos están juntos
Whatever, he left her and she had the baby solo
Lo que sea, él la dejó y ella tuvo al bebé sola
She had it on the bathroom floor and didn't know so
Lo tuvo en el suelo del baño y no lo sabía
She didn't know, what to throw away and what to keep
No sabía, qué tirar y qué guardar
She wrapped the baby up and threw him in the trash heap
Envuelve al bebé y lo tira en el montón de basura
I guess she thought she'd get away, wouldn't hear the cries
Supongo que pensó que se saldría con la suya, no escucharía los llantos
She didn't realize
No se dio cuenta
How much the the little baby had her eyes
Cuánto el pequeño bebé tenía sus ojos
Now the baby's in the trash heap balling

She tried to sell crack, but end up getting robbed
Intentó vender crack, pero terminó siendo robada
So now what's next, there ain't nothing left to sell
Entonces, ¿qué sigue, no queda nada que vender?
So she sees sex as a way of leaving hell
Así que ve el sexo como una forma de salir del infierno
It's paying the rent, so she really can't complain
Está pagando el alquiler, así que realmente no puede quejarse

Well, let me show ya how it affects our whole community
Eh bien, laisse-moi te montrer comment cela affecte toute notre communauté
Now Brenda really never knew her moms and her dad was a
Maintenant Brenda n'a vraiment jamais connu sa mère et son père était un
Junky, puttin' death to his arms, it's sad 'cause I bet
Toxicomane, mettant la mort dans ses bras, c'est triste parce que je parie
Brenda doesn't even know
Que Brenda ne sait même pas
Just 'cause you're in the ghetto doesn't mean you can't grow (you can't grow)
Juste parce que tu es dans le ghetto ne signifie pas que tu ne peux pas grandir (tu ne peux pas grandir)

Do whatever it takes to resist the temptation
Fais tout ce qu'il faut pour résister à la tentation
Brenda got herself a boyfriend
Brenda s'est trouvé un petit ami
Her boyfriend was her cousin, now let's watch the joy end
Son petit ami était son cousin, maintenant regardons la joie finir
She tried to hide her pregnancy, from her family
Elle a essayé de cacher sa grossesse à sa famille
Who didn't really care to see, or give a damn if she
Qui ne se souciait pas vraiment de voir, ou ne donnait pas un damné si elle
Went out and had a church of kids
Sortait et avait une église d'enfants
As long as when the check came they got first dibs
Tant que quand le chèque arrivait, ils avaient la priorité
Now Brenda's belly is gettin' bigger
Maintenant le ventre de Brenda grossit
But no one seems to notice any change in her figure
Mais personne ne semble remarquer de changement dans sa silhouette
She's 12 years old and she's having a baby
Elle a 12 ans et elle attend un bébé
In love with the molester, who's sexing her crazy
Amoureuse de l'agresseur, qui la rend folle de sexe
And yet and also she thinks that he'll be with her forever
Et pourtant et aussi elle pense qu'il sera avec elle pour toujours
And dreams of a world with the two of them are together
Et rêve d'un monde où les deux sont ensemble
Whatever, he left her and she had the baby solo
Peu importe, il l'a quittée et elle a eu le bébé toute seule
She had it on the bathroom floor and didn't know so
Elle l'a eu sur le sol de la salle de bain et ne savait pas
She didn't know, what to throw away and what to keep
Elle ne savait pas, quoi jeter et quoi garder
She wrapped the baby up and threw him in the trash heap
Elle a emballé le bébé et l'a jeté dans le tas d'ordures
I guess she thought she'd get away, wouldn't hear the cries
Je suppose qu'elle pensait qu'elle s'en sortirait, n'entendrait pas les pleurs
She didn't realize
Elle n'a pas réalisé
How much the the little baby had her eyes
Combien le petit bébé avait ses yeux
Now the baby's in the trash heap balling
Maintenant le bébé est dans le tas d'ordures en pleurs
Momma can't help her, but it hurts to hear her calling
Maman ne peut pas l'aider, mais ça fait mal de l'entendre appeler
Brenda wants to run away
