Baseball Cap

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 Fourteen years old and hard to the core I'm walking home making plans for war My hands was cut, my uncle says, "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 loose 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 few uncle [incomprehensible] to drink I had little cry, my eyes started to blink 'Cause what occurred from his words to me Sounds absurd, but I had the love in his voice to me I made choice, it was like snap What's a cap when I got something real like that? I can measure it, treasure it and have my leisure Sit down with those who mean most to me The baseball cap was a ghost, this real to me '€œYou got steel son'€ my uncle's talking "Take the champion to walk and keep walking Drink your drink, let the words sink in Say goodnight to your Ma and think again" So I took my fourteen years up to bed Everything he said taking root in my head I said, '€œAll my tears and let my fourteen years [incomprehensible]'€ 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
