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