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