Verse
G A# 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 A#
Jumped me from behind at least three, maybe four,
G F D
I'll never see my hat no more.
[Chorus]
G A# G F D
Oh, snap. There goes my baseball cap,
G A# G
It's gone, gone, gone, gone,
F D
I can't get it back.
G A# G F D
Oh, snap. There goes my baseball cap,
G A# G
It's gone, gone, gone, gone,
F D
I can't get it back.
[Verse]
G A#
Fourteen years old and hard through the core,
G F D
I'm walking home making plans for war,
G A#
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 A#
Sit down, take five and let me look at your knee,
G F D
Your still alive son, please take it easy
G A#
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 A#
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 A#
So try and listen hard before you fall into the trap
G F D
Of making war over a baseball cap.
[Chorus]
G A# G F D
Oh, snap. There goes my baseball cap,
G A# G
It's gone, gone, gone, gone,
F D
I can't get it back.
G A# G F D
Oh, snap. There goes my baseball cap,
G A# G
It's gone, gone, gone, gone,
F D
I can't get it back.
[Bridge]
G A#
I sat back, had a think, my uncle poured a drink
G F D
Had a little cry, my eyes, started to blink
G A#
'Cause what occurred from these words to me sounds absurd
G F D
But I heard the love in his voice for me
G A#
I made a choice, it was like 'Snap'
G F D
What's a cap when I got something real like that?
G A#
I can measure it, treasure it, and at my leisure
G F D
Sit down with those who mean the most to me
G A#
The Baseball Cap was a ghost this is real to me
G F D
'You got steel son' My uncle's talking
G A#
Takes a champion to walk and keep walking
G F D
Drink your drink, let the words sink in
G A#
Say goodnight to your ma and think again
G F D
So I, took my fourteen years up to bed
G A#
Everything he said taking root in my head
G F D
I shed all my tears and let my fourteen years
Relax
[Chorus]
G A# G F D
Oh, snap. There goes my baseball cap,
G A# G
It's gone, gone, gone, gone,
F D
I can't get it back.
G A# G F D
Oh, snap. There goes my baseball cap,
G A# G
It's gone, gone, gone, gone,
F D
I can't get it back.
