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