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-oo, Too-oo too bad,  
Too-oo, too-oo 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 alot 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 
Say you might have the cash but you 
Can...not cash in your face 
We don't want your kind living in here 
Aye, you might be a great doctor 
You might be a great lawyer 
You might possess the key to the city 
Or maybe a politician  
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
