Verse
A C A
Oh, snap, there goes my baseball cap I'm on the floor,
G E
I think I took a bruise to my jaw,
A C
Jumped me from behind at least three, maybe four,
A G E
I'll never see my hat no more.
[Chorus]
A C A G E
Oh, snap. There goes my baseball cap,
A C A
It's gone, gone, gone, gone,
G E
I can't get it back.
A C A G E
Oh, snap. There goes my baseball cap,
A C A
It's gone, gone, gone, gone,
G E
I can't get it back.
[Verse]
A C
Fourteen years old and hard through the core,
A G E
I'm walking home making plans for war,
A C
My hands was cut, my uncle says 'what's up? '
A G E
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 E
Your still alive son, please take it easy
A C
Sometimes you have to let the world know you ain't bluffing,
A G E
But enough is enough, don't loose your life over nothing,
A C
Scuffling in the street is no way to die,
A G E
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 E
Of making war over a baseball cap.
[Chorus]
A C A G E
Oh, snap. There goes my baseball cap,
A C A
It's gone, gone, gone, gone,
G E
I can't get it back.
A C A G E
Oh, snap. There goes my baseball cap,
A C A
It's gone, gone, gone, gone,
G E
I can't get it back.
[Bridge]
A C
I sat back, had a think, my uncle poured a drink
A G E
Had a little cry, my eyes, started to blink
A C
'Cause what occurred from these words to me sounds absurd
A G E
But I heard the love in his voice for me
A C
I made a choice, it was like 'Snap'
A G E
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 E
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 E
'You got steel son' My uncle's talking
A C
Takes a champion to walk and keep walking
A G E
Drink your drink, let the words sink in
A C
Say goodnight to your ma and think again
A G E
So I, took my fourteen years up to bed
A C
Everything he said taking root in my head
A G E
I shed all my tears and let my fourteen years
Relax
[Chorus]
A C A G E
Oh, snap. There goes my baseball cap,
A C A
It's gone, gone, gone, gone,
G E
I can't get it back.
A C A G E
Oh, snap. There goes my baseball cap,
A C A
It's gone, gone, gone, gone,
G E
I can't get it back.
