    what I love about outkast is how they talk about intricate issues like depression and failed romances in a comical way...All the dances and imagery depicting deepest struggles...It brings that nostalgia of when things, were quite good when we were immature and young...they exemplify the reminscision with that symbol despite being really hurt

    I love this song and as I got older I realized the 3 aspects of the song
    Big boi : pursuing a woman
    Andre: reminiscing about a woman
    Rick: relationship problems with a woman
    CLASSIC
