Verse
B D B
Oh, snap, there goes my baseball cap I'm on the floor,
A F#
I think I took a bruise to my jaw,
B D
Jumped me from behind at least three, maybe four,
B A F#
I'll never see my hat no more.
[Chorus]
B D B A F#
Oh, snap. There goes my baseball cap,
B D B
It's gone, gone, gone, gone,
A F#
I can't get it back.
B D B A F#
Oh, snap. There goes my baseball cap,
B D B
It's gone, gone, gone, gone,
A F#
I can't get it back.
[Verse]
B D
Fourteen years old and hard through the core,
B A F#
I'm walking home making plans for war,
B D
My hands was cut, my uncle says 'what's up? '
B A F#
Let me guess, your clothes are in a mess, you're in distress,
B D
Sit down, take five and let me look at your knee,
B A F#
Your still alive son, please take it easy
B D
Sometimes you have to let the world know you ain't bluffing,
B A F#
But enough is enough, don't loose your life over nothing,
B D
Scuffling in the street is no way to die,
B A F#
And I don't want to have to meet your mama's eye,
B D
So try and listen hard before you fall into the trap
B A F#
Of making war over a baseball cap.
[Chorus]
B D B A F#
Oh, snap. There goes my baseball cap,
B D B
It's gone, gone, gone, gone,
A F#
I can't get it back.
B D B A F#
Oh, snap. There goes my baseball cap,
B D B
It's gone, gone, gone, gone,
A F#
I can't get it back.
[Bridge]
B D
I sat back, had a think, my uncle poured a drink
B A F#
Had a little cry, my eyes, started to blink
B D
'Cause what occurred from these words to me sounds absurd
B A F#
But I heard the love in his voice for me
B D
I made a choice, it was like 'Snap'
B A F#
What's a cap when I got something real like that?
B D
I can measure it, treasure it, and at my leisure
B A F#
Sit down with those who mean the most to me
B D
The Baseball Cap was a ghost this is real to me
B A F#
'You got steel son' My uncle's talking
B D
Takes a champion to walk and keep walking
B A F#
Drink your drink, let the words sink in
B D
Say goodnight to your ma and think again
B A F#
So I, took my fourteen years up to bed
B D
Everything he said taking root in my head
B A F#
I shed all my tears and let my fourteen years
Relax
[Chorus]
B D B A F#
Oh, snap. There goes my baseball cap,
B D B
It's gone, gone, gone, gone,
A F#
I can't get it back.
B D B A F#
Oh, snap. There goes my baseball cap,
B D B
It's gone, gone, gone, gone,
A F#
I can't get it back.
