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