“Do You Remember” is Jilly from Philly’s walk down memory lane with black men. Reminiscing on such things as pinball on 23rd street and converses; Jill speaks for her African American sistas in calling out to their brothas asking if they remember their sistas.
[Intro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
Oh, honey
Why you got to be so mean?
Don't you? (Don't you remember me?)
Oh, baby, baby
You and me, you and me, you and me
We build sandcastles in the Serengeti
(Don't you remember me?)
You splashed my face with Nile water
Daughter of Diaspora
You named me, claimed me
[Chorus]
Do you remember me?
(Do you remember me?)
Do you remember me? (Oh)
Do you remember me?
Do you remember me?
[Verse 2]
Remember playing pinball right on 23rd street?
(K-I-N-G)
I was there, I remember
When you got your first pair of sneaks (Oh, they are phat)
Mmm, Converse, I think
(Do you?)
I remember you swore you were so big and bad
You walked around like your mmm didn't stink (You can't beat everybody)
But I was there, always been there
I remember that it did (It does now, for sure), ooh, it did, oh
[Bridge]
I remember you lovin' me
It was so beautiful (Magical, wonderful)
I remember loving you (Ooh, loving you)
So good, so good, so good
[Chorus]
Do you remember me?
Do you remember me?
Do you remember me?
(I mean, for real, don’t you remember those days way back when we spoke Kiswahili?)
Do you remember me?
(It was you and me, see, remember playin' hide and go freak?)
Do you remember me?
(I was that one you were born to seek and I’m still here)
Do you remember me?
(Gettin' down, gettin' down, gettin' down, gettin' down)
(Gettin' down, gettin' down)
[Outro]
(Do you remember me?)
For you (For you), still (Still)
Gettin' down, gettin' down, gettin' down, gettin' down
(Do you remember me?) For you
