Da Brat Lyrics

Shawntae Harris (born April 14, 1974), better known by her stage name Da Brat is an American rapper and actress. Her debut album, Funkdafied, sold one million copies making her the first female rapper to have a platinum-selling album.

Harris was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. Her parents never married and Harris was subsequently raised in two different households. She lived part of the time with her mother and grandmother, and had attended a strict Pentecostal church four times a week, where she played drums and sang in the choir. She also lived with her father and his mother, where she had less restrictions. Harris attended Kenwood Academy High School from 88-89, where she ran track and played basketball, and she graduated from Marshall High School in 1992.

Regarding her soon-to-be rap name, Harris told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that she got the name because she is "a spoiled only child." Harris is the half-sister of actress LisaRaye McCoy.
