Oh, smack, there goes my baseball cap I'm on the floor I think I took a bruise to my jaw Jumped me from behind at least three, maybe four I never see my hat no more Oh, smash. There goes my baseball cap It's gone, gone, gone, gone I can't get it back Oh, smash, there goes my baseball cap It's gone, gone, gone, gone I can't get it back 14 years old and hard to the core I'm walking home making plans for war My hands was cut, my uncle say 'what's up?' Let me guess, your clothes are in a mess, you're in distress Sit down, take five and let me look at your knees Your still alive son, please take it easy Sometimes you have to let the world know you're not bluffing But enough is enough, don't lose your life over nothing Scuffling in the street is no way to die And I don't want to have to meet your mama's eye So try and listen hard before you fall into the trap Of making war over a baseball cap Oh, smash, there goes my baseball cap It's gone, gone, gone, gone I can't get it back Oh, smash, there goes my baseball cap It's gone, gone, gone, gone I can't get it back I sat back, had a think My uncle poured a drink I had a little cry, my eye started to blink 'cause what occured from his word to me Sounds absurd, but I Heard the love in his voice for me I made a choice, It was like Snap What's a cap when I got something real like that I can measure it, treasure it, and at my leisure Sit down with those who mean the most to me The baseball cap was a ghost, this is real to me "You got steel, son" My uncle's talkin' "Takes a champion to walk and keep walking" "Drink your drink, and let the words sink in Say goodnight to your mom and think again" So I took my 14 years up to bed Everything he said taking root in my head I shed all my tears, and let my 14 years Relax.. Oh, smash, there goes my baseball cap It's gone, gone, gone, gone I can't get it back Oh, smash, there goes my baseball cap It's gone, gone, gone, gone I can't get it back Oh, smash, there goes my baseball cap It's gone, gone, gone, gone I can't get it back Oh, smash, there goes my baseball cap It's gone, gone, gone, gone I can't get it back
