Now Brenda's gotta make her own way

Now Brenda's gotta make her own way. There are no words that can express how I feel. I hear Brenda's got a baby.

I was given this world I didn't make it. You always was a black queen, mama. Huh, ya got to keep your head up.

They planted seeds and they hatched, sparkin the flame. So many homies in the cemetery, shed so many tears. Left me alone I grew up amongst a dyin breed. Thank the Lord for my kids, even if nobody else want em. She tried to hide her pregnancy, from her family.

Momma can't help her, but it hurts to hear her calling. with the big boys, breakin all the rules. When brothas make babies, and leave a young mother to be a pappy. You say the words that can get me back in focus.

Last night my buddy lost his whole family. No love from my daddy cause the coward wasn't there. Now ain't nobody tell us it was fair.

So many homies in the cemetery, shed so many tears. You are appreciated. Suspended from school; and scared to go home, I was a fool. You can't complain you was dealt this. She didn't realize.

Suspended from school; and scared to go home, I was a fool. I guess she thought she'd get away. Of how I'd rock the mic, and make it to tha bright screen. Now Brenda really never knew her moms and her dad was a junky.
