Do You Remember
A-Team Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Takes notes from a movie box
Make a list of what I need
Remember who you are,
Remember who you are

But then, I can't feel good about anything
And just when I
Get something started
I read or hear something, that makes me forget

My confidence or honesty
What are my motives are they selfless enough,
Are they
Righteous, righteous enough?

Then before I get started, I get all fucked up
Can't get sick of thinking about meaning or language
Or anything that gets me hot

Make up who you are,
It makes up who you are
Then I found myself
Dancing alone in my room
I was writing in my journal,
Playing records
When I felt my shoulders
Slide from side to side
I found the bass in my hips
Being alone brings courage and
Strength of mind
Take off your shirt and watch TV
Remember who you are, and
Make up who you are

But then I just want a public place
Where girls can meet
Each others stare
Sometimes that's what it takes
Just to know you're alive
To feel yourself burning
Just from some girl's stare
My that's a strange costume
Slip your fingers under my belt

Put up signs to make up who you are
Send out signals
Telling who you are
Transmit messages




About who you are
No matter who you are

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to A-Team's song "Do You Remember?" echo the theme of self-reflection and self-discovery. The song begins with the singer taking notes from a movie box and making a list of what they need. They repeat the phrase "Remember who you are" as a reminder to stay true to oneself. However, the singer finds it difficult: they can't "feel good about anything" and stumble on their confidence and honesty. They question whether their motives are "selfless enough" and "righteous enough" before even starting.


Later in the song, the singer finds themselves dancing alone in their room, writing in their journal and playing records. They start to find themselves and their courage, finding the bass in their hips. However, the singer also desires a public place where they can meet people and feel alive. They long for the burning sensation of a girl's stare and the affirmation it brings. The song ends with the repetition of the phrase "Make up who you are" and the importance of transmitting messages about oneself, no matter who they are.


Overall, "Do You Remember?" speaks to the universal desire for self-discovery, affirmation, and connection.

I always watched The Cosby show and A Different World. I have very good memories of both. All the actors without exception were very talented and the shows were fun and wholesome.

Mr J-Charles

I grew up with Bill Cosby shows. Loved Fat Albert when I was a kid. As an actor I like him and do not know him personally so can not judge him on what media says about him. Also Malcom was really good in Sneaky Pete.

IceManLikeGervin

Still support the Cosby Show as it is still a very good show that promotes good images of African Americans plus the spinoff 'A Different World' came from it. Two of the most, if not the most, positive African American tv shows in tv history.

Freedom Forever

Bill Cosby; The Doctor of Spanish Fly.

John Lee
