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