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