Cash in Your Face

[Stevie Wonder] 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 [Apartment owner] Look I know you came a long way But you made it just too late So we had to give it to somebody else [Stevie] 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 [Owner] Well I can't take the time out To check your credit card ‘Cause the computer just broke down today [Stevie] Well I'll stop by here tomorrow to complete our interview But I know what you're gonna say I know what your bottom line is [Hook: Owner] 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 bad, too sad [Stevie] 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 [Owner] Well in this apartment complex no children are allowed And if you told me that I could have saved you a lot of time [Stevie] 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 [Hook] [Bridge: Owner] Aye, 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 [Hook]
