Cash In Your Face

You just could not know how long we tried

To see how this building looks inside

This must be a lucky day for me

Because the sign says there's a vacancy

"Look I know you came a long way

But you made it just too late

So we had to give it to somebody else"

Well, I talked to you on the phone less than fifteen minutes ago

And you told me that it was cool

I graduated from Howard U

My job is paying good money too

And if you check on my resume

You'll find they all wanted me to stay

"Well, I can't take the time out to check your credit card

'Cause the computer just broke down today"

Well, I'll stop by here tomorrow to complete our interview

But I know what you're gonna say

I know what your bottomline is

"You might have the cash

But you can not cash in your face

We don't want you living in here"

Say, "You might have the cash

But you can not cash in your face

We don't want your kind living in here"

Too, too

Too bad

Too, too

Too sad

Our first child is due here any day

That's why we're desperate for a place to stay

The location is so perfect too

So please try to do what you can do

"Well, in this apartment complex no children are allowed

And if you told me that I could have saved you a lot of time"

Well, I thought the bill was passed that said you could not discriminate

But I know some excuse you'll find

Because your bottom line is

"You might have the cash

But you can not cash in your face

We don't want you living in here"

Uh, uh, say, "You might have the cash

But you can not cash in here

We don't want your kind living in here"

Ay, you might be a great doctor

You might be a great lawyer

You might possess the key to the city

Or may be a politician, ooh

Say, "You might have the cash

But you can not cash in your face

We don't want you's living in here"

Yeah, yeah, yeah, "You might have the cash

But you can, cash, cash in this face

We don't want your kind living in here"
