Lala Brown was born (May 20, 1986) in Milwaukee, WI to Maria and William Brown.
She was the youngest of five children. Her parents said that she had a talent for entertainment from her first steps. She was said to always sing and dance around the house. It was no surprise when she wanted to pursue a music career at the age of eleven, Brown started singing professionally when she was 11 years old.
In fall 2005, Brown traveled to Atlanta, Georgia to pursue a music career, and while in Atlanta she was in a nightclub in October 2005, She decided to go to Atlanta in hopes of running into the right people and it would be the place to be discovered by artists, producers, and songwriters. She finally got the big break she was hoping for when Lyfe Jennings asked her to be on his new track "S.E.X." She was featured singing and appeared in the music video. The track "S.E.X." was a cautionary tale warning young women about the pitfalls and dangers of unprotected sex and appeared on his second studio album The Phoenix. She then toured with Lyfe Jennings, but was released following an argument with Jennings. In June 2007, she returned to Milwaukee to become a solo artist and began working on her debut solo album. Before her death, Brown recorded three songs "I'm Feeling It", Rescue Me", and "Give Them What They Want", a song she wrote about her life.
On October 19, 2007, Brown and her boyfriend JeTannue "Kool Aid" Clayborn were shot and killed in the Milwaukee Loud Enuff Productionz recording studio in her hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Both had been dead at least a day before they were discovered. They were reportedly dating. Although autopsies were scheduled on both Brown and Clayborn results had not been released. She is survived by her mother, father, siblings, other family members and her daughter Amirrah Airreal Brown.

Lala Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You see most cats would take advantage of you right now
But I ain't gon' do that, you heard
I'm a give you the game, right
I'm a give it to you because
I don't want somebody to give my little girl the game
So she could find her S.E.X.
Heard you just turned seventeen and finally got some hips
Hustlers on the block go crazy when you lick your lips
But they just want relations, they don't want relationships
(Welcome to the real world)
It ain't the same
Fellas old enough to be your daddy know your name
Everybody's talkin' 'bout how much that girl done changed
Can't quite put your finger on it, but you feel it's strange
Like it's fire in your veins
Girl, it's just your S.E.X.
Mama's secret
And daddy gon' go crazy when he finds out that his baby's found her
S.E.X., take a deep breath
And think before you let it go
The block is packed
Baby got an attitude and proud to holla back
Mama's giving advice, but she ain't tryin' to hear that
Not because it's wrong, just her delivery is whack
(Shay, get your butt in this house, if I see you with another boy, I swear...)
Life is rough
You say that you're not ready for sex, but you're in love
He says if you really loved him, you would give it up
Mama says that's just a line guys use to get your stuff
Which one will you trust?
Girl, it's just your S.E.X.
Mama's secret
And daddy gon' go crazy when he finds out that his baby's found her
S.E.X., take a deep breath
And think before you let it go
Hey yo, Lyfe
She might take it better coming from a woman (Get 'em, girl)
See, he'll tell you all kind of things to get in your pants, yeah
Baby, it's a fact that once it's gone, you'll never get it back (never get it back)
Hold on to your innocence
Use your common sense (you're worth waiting for)
Be strong
Honey, don't give in, blessings come with patience
Till we meet again, I'm praying for you
Girl, it's just your S.E.X.
Mama's secret
And daddy gon' go crazy when he finds out that his baby's found her
S.E.X., take a deep breath
And think before you let it go
Girl, it's just your S.E.X.
Mama's secret
And daddy gon' go crazy when he finds out that his baby's found her
S.E.X., take a deep breath
And think before you let it go
The song "S.E.X." by Lala Brown is a cautionary tale aimed at young girls on the topic of sex. In the first verse, the singer addresses a 17-year-old girl who has recently developed curves and is attracting the attention of older men. He warns her that the attention is not genuine and that the men only want sex, not a relationship. The singer then tells the girl that he is giving her advice because he wouldn't want someone to take advantage of his own daughter.
In the second verse, the singer describes the girl's life on the block, where she has a tough attitude and doesn't listen to her mother's advice. The girl claims to be in love but is afraid of losing her innocence. The singer advises the girl to hold onto her innocence and to use her common sense. He encourages her to be strong and to resist giving in to pressure because blessings come with patience.
The chorus of the song repeats the message that sex is a powerful force that needs to be taken seriously. The lyrics suggest that while sex may seem exciting in the moment, it can have serious consequences and should be approached with caution. The song concludes with a prayer for the girl's well-being.
