Bottles & Cans Lyrics


Everybody wants some type of success in life
Like every woman wants to one day be a wife
Your success is measured, but to a degree
'Cuz all the money in the world, dont add up to you and meId rather be pickin up bottles and cans
If you cant be my man
Id rather be homeless in the streets
With no food to eatId rather be facing twenty to life
If I cant be your wife
Now I know that it seems like Im crazy for you
Thats what love can doLook at what you started, theres no way this can end
Because I've falling in love, but how deep did I fall in
If anything should ever stand in our way
I wouldn't wait till tomorrow, but Id throw it away todayId rather be pickin up bottles and cans
If you cant be my man
Id rather be homeless in the streets
With no food to eatId rather be facing twenty to life
If I cant be your wife
Now I know that it seems like Im crazy for you

Thats what love can doId rather be pickin' up bottles and cans
Pickin' up cans baby, oh yeah yeah
Id rather be homeless in the streets
With no food to eatId rather be facing twenty to life
Now I know that it seems like Im crazy for you
Thats what love can doIt just ain't money
(Without)
There is no home
(Without you)
Its no crime, baby
(Without)
Who is everyone
(Without you)Its no career
(Without)
Its not sincere
(Without you)
These diamonds dont shine
(Without)
Whoa
(Thats what love can do)
Thats what love can doId rather be pickin up bottles and cans
If you cant be my man
Id rather be homeless in the streets
With no food to eatId rather be facing twenty to life
Now I know that it seems like Im crazy for you
Thats what love can doId rather be pickin up bottles and cans
If you cant be my man
Id rather be homeless in the streets
With no food to eat
Id rather be facing twenty to life

Angie Stone (born Angela Laverne Brown in January 30, 1961, in Columbia, South Carolina) is a Grammy Award-nominated American R&B, hip-hop, and neo-soul singer and actress. Stone's music possesses a clear old school soul music influence, and her singing vocals recall those of Aretha Franklin.


In the early 1980s, Stone (as 'Angie B'), was a member of The Sequence, the first major female hip-hop group. They had a hit in 1980 with "Funk You Up". She then worked with Mantronix, before teaming up and performing vocals and saxophone for Lenny Kravitz.


Angie Stone emerged during the 1990's as part of hip-hop/R&B trio Vertical Hold which released the popular single "Seems You're Much Too Busy" as well as two albums: A Matter of Time (June 1993) and Head First (1995).

In 1996, she teamed up with Gerry DeVeaux (Lenny Kravitz's cousin from The Bahamas) and together with Charlie Mole they formed Devox. One album received a Japanese-only release including Stone-penned or co-written material.

Angie Stone shared song-writing credits on D'Angelo's first two studio album's (1995 - Brown Sugar and 2000 - Voodoo) as well as providing backing vocals on tour with him.

She released her first solo album, Black Diamond, released on 28 September 1999 via Arista Records. She has since also released, via Clive Davis' J Records, Mahogany Soul on October 16, 2001 and Stone Love on July 6, 2004.

Much of Angie Stone's solo material has a significant hip-hop influence and features notable samples. For example, her first solo single, 1999's "No More Rain (In This Cloud)" samples Gladys Knight & The Pips' 1972 "Neither One Of Us (Want To Be The First To Say Goodbye)", and 2002 "Wish I Didn't Miss You" samples The O'Jays' 1972 "Back Stabbers".

Angie Stone sings the theme song for the UPN sitcom Girlfriends.
She has two children, a daughter and a son. The son is the child of neo-soul singer D'Angelo, whom she dated during the 1990's.
