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