And for the small price of one hundred dollars, I bet you I could make it rain
So step back, non-believers, for the rain will never come

But I swear before this day is over
You folks are gonna see some rain
Oh, step back, non-believers, for the rain will never come
Someone keep that fire a-burnin', somebody beat the drum
