So with no marketable skill to speak of as well as a general inability to keep a stable job, she resorts to selling drugs. However, Brenda’s not gangster enough to hold down such an occupation. So eventually she starts prostituting herself, as she perceives such as the only “way of leaving hell”, as in making life better for she and her baby. But the story concludes with her being murdered – as is oft the fate of prostitutes – and her baby being left as an orphan whose fate is uncertain. Keep in mind that Brenda is someone who is depicted as ‘barely having a brain’. Brenda’s Familyīrenda’s family is portrayed as being unstable and not concerned with the genuine welfare of she nor her child. Rather their primary concern is capitalizing off of benefits Brenda receives from the government as a single mom. And ultimately, due to discontent with her mother, Brenda is compelled to venture out on her own with her child. And just hours after giving birth, this young child threw her newborn baby into a trash compactor. This is why the titular Brenda herself is described as being “12 years old” and in love with a “molester”/“boyfriend” who also happens to be her cousin. But Tupac takes it to another level by trying to explain how her situation “affects our whole community”. This was the story of a real-life 12-year-old who got pregnant via her adult cousin. More specifically, Pac was inspired to pen this tune by a real event.
