In my head right now, "Brenda's Got a Baby" by Tupac Shakur. It's a song that used to be on a lot when we were in junior high and my sister was really into her rap/hip-hop phase. The sad thing is that the only lyrics I know are the beginning, so it's just this depressing bit running through my head over and over:

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 tell you how it affects our whole community.

And also the background chorus,
Don't you know she's gotta baby
Don't you know she's gotta...

The thing is I didn't even know this was a Tupac song until yesterday when I was watching that ridiculous VH1 Pop Culture Icons show. Tupac was one of the icons and they showed a clip from the "Brenda" video and I was surprised because that song had been in my head on and off for the past week or so.

It's a very depressing song. I don't ask for it to show up. I'd rather have that song about bubbles stuck in my head. But I can't remember how it goes.
