She’s Alive

She’s Alive

OutKast

While the lyrics of this song are rather cryptic, this song is most likely about Andre’s mother. Particularly her raising him as a single parent after Andre’s father left the family. The evidence for this can be found when Andre references a woman giving birth to a baby in 1975, the year he was born.

The subdued tone of this song and Andre’s soft crooning display feelings of affection that he clearly has for his mother.

This is different than in Babylon where he discusses how he claims she used cocaine while pregnant with him.
