The song "Roses" by OutKast is a commentary on the superficial relationships people often cultivate with others in order to gain things like money, power, or respect. It follows the story of a woman, Caroline, who is lauded for her beauty but overlooked for her personality. André 3000 is singing from the perspective of a man who is warning her that these types of relationships won't bring her true love or long-term success. Big Boi adds his part with an important reminder that women should seek out real relationships and not just chase money and status. Ultimately, the song warns against getting too caught up in appearances and speaks to the need for real, genuine connections and relationships.
