[Intro]
Ah!
Hear the beat of the drums and go numb
Have fun, go on
We don't need all the ones to have one
So have one, someone
Hear the beat of the drums and go numb
Have fun, go on
We don't need all the ones to have one
So have one, someone
[Verse 1]
They're gonna get ya either way
Whether you cry about today or die another day
I'd rather sleep, but they say better stay awake, fadеd colours turn to shade
Turning matter into clay
I foiled thе mission, no superstition, I am the vision
Young, black, gifted with ambition
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Got all the wishes like Aloysius
But I'm Alloysious Massaquoi
Straight from the void
[Pre-Chorus]
So I'ma get me, some
So I'ma get me, tons
I never claimed to be no role model, son
I never claimed to be no role model
But I love my ma
And now I'm done
[Chorus]
Hear the beat of the drums and go numb
Have fun, go on
We don't need all the ones to have one
So have one, someone
[Verse 2]
Omo dapo
Se o ti de ile
Sọro sókè
Omo dapo
Se o ti de ile
Soro sókè
Soro sókè
Omo dapo
Tase won da da
Tase won da da
[Chorus]
Hear the beat of the drums and go numb
Have fun, go on
We don't need all the ones to have one
So have one, someone
We don't need all the ones to have one
So have one, someone
And then some
And then some
And then some
And then some
[Bridge]
He told me
Get you a son
Get it for free
Get you some
Get you a son
(So I'ma get me some) Get you a son
(So I'ma get me some) Get you a son
(So I'ma get me some) Get you a son
(So I'ma get me some) Get you a son
[Chorus]
Hear the beat of the drums and go numb
Have fun, go on
We don't need all the ones to have one
So have one, someone
Hear the beat of the drums and go numb
Have fun, go on
We don't need all the ones to have one
So have one, someone
[Outro]
So have one, someone
So have one, someone
So have one, someone
So have one, someone
Hear the beat of the drums and go numb

Alloysious Massaquoi:
It’s got that sort of gospel spiritual aspect to it. There’s an intensity in that. It’s almost like a sermon is happening.
