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