Baseball Cap - Faithless

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
