I'm Looking for the One (To Be With Me) Lyrics


I am looking for the one to be with me, now
Are you looking for the one to be with you, now?
I am looking for the one to be with me, now
Are you looking for the, do you feel the same way too?Come on, clap your hands, wind it up if you're feelin' alright
Clap your hands, wind it up, if you're feelin' the vibe
Nod your head from side to side, as you ride the vibe
'Cause it's a party all nightYou can't fight the feelin' you feelin'
'Cause you're feelin' fine wit' nothing really on your mind
It doesn't matter if you're wit' your crew
Because they can feel the same way tooI came to get down, you came to get down
You came to get down, we came to get down
I like that sound 'cause it's a party over here
Party over there, party right here
(Hey)
Few over thereKeep it goin', keep it goin', keep it goin' now
Keep it flowin', keep it flowin', keep it flowin' now
Keep it going, 'cause this is for you
So you can feel the same way tooI am looking for the one to be with me, now

Are you looking for the one to be with you, now?
I am looking for the one to be with me, now
Are you looking for the, do you feel the same way too?You know the puck don't stop here fuck, the puck started here
That's why I gotta put my heart in here
To give you that old funky-funky-funky-funky-junky funk
That I know you wantSo get your boom box so we can boom blocks
Or shake it up somethin' pride for life 'cause we rockin', right?
It ain't a question 'bout bein' true
Because you can feel the same way tooA little somethin' for the radio
A little somethin' for the video
A little somethin' for the jeeps, ride ride
A little somethin' for the streets, hey heyA little somethin' for the homies on the block
A little somethin' for the homies in the flocks
A little somethin' from me to you
So you can feel the same way tooI am looking for the one to be with me, now
Are you looking for the one to be with you, now?
I am looking for the one to be with me, now
Are you looking for the, do you feel the same way too?Nine Trey, everybody wanna be a gangsta
Buck-buck-buck-buck, but no more, thanks to me
You got somethin' you can flip on the other tip
As you get lost in the smooth rhymes I ripYears and years my peers misunderstood
That I made cuts from my guts to make you feel good
And if you get it, this is for you
So you can feel the same way tooPut your hands in the air, come on now
Put your hands in the air, come on, yeah
Feel the vibe, Jazzy Jazz in the place, right
The upper-ground sound and pound to knock you outta your hideFeelin' a'ight? You feelin' a'ight? Yeah

Well next time bring a friend wit' you
So they can feel the same way tooI am looking for the one to be with me, now
Are you looking for the one to be with you, now?
I am looking for the one to be with me, now
I am looking for the one to be with me, nowI am looking for the one to be with me, now
Are you looking for the one to be with you, now?

DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince was a 1980s and 1990s rap duo. The vocalist of this duo, Will Smith, met Jeff Townes while trying to make a name for himself in West Philadelphia’s local party/rap scene. After joining forces, the team became local celebrities. Philadelphia-based Pop Art Records released their first single, Girls Ain’t Nothing but Trouble, in late 1985, a tale of misadventures with the opposite sex. The song sampled the theme of I Dream of Jeannie. Smith became known for lighthearted, storytelling raps and capable, through curse-free, 'battle' rhymes. Townes was known for his turntable acrobatics, and is credited by many as inventing a style of scratching called "transforming".

Based off this success, the duo were brought to the attention of Jive Records and Russell Simmons’. Their first album, Rock the House, debuted on Jive in the summer of 1987. The band found themselves on their first major tour with Run DMC, Public Enemy, and others, that same year. The album sold about 300,000 units. Their 1988 follow-up hit, He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper made them multi-platinum stars. Mostly recorded in the UK, the album was rap musics’s first double-vinyl LP release (also issued as a single cassette and CD). Parents Just Don’t Understand, the lead-off single, made them MTV household names, and tracks like Brand New Funk was received well by their fans. Rock The House was re-released to gold sales later that year.

Another single, Nightmare on My Street, showcased a fictional confrontation with movie villain Freddy Krueger. Coinciding with the release of the fourth Nightmare on Elm Street film (1988’s "The Dream Master"), New Line Cinema was not pleased. A video allegedly shot for the single was buried, and a disclaimer was hastily included on pressings of the album indicating that the record was not officially affiliated with any of the "Nightmare" films (ironically, Jive Records ended up releasing the soundtrack to the next film in the series, "The Dream Child").

1989 saw the release of And In This Corner..., which sold gold, but saw the duo slip in popularity. The crossover curse of various rap acts had come to pass, as their initial audience felt they had become too accessible; non-crossover rap acts like Big Daddy Kane and Boogie Down Productions had bigger street followings; meanwhile, pop radio had latched on to new faces like Tone Loc and Young MC, while non-radio followers became more enamored with hardcore acts like Ice-T and 2 Live Crew. In a bit of mild irony, the lead single, I Think I Can Beat Mike Tyson, featured the brawler in its video, but shortly after the band’s Grammy performance in 1990, Tyson lost his first fight with Buster Douglas.

Smith would later admit to a spendthrift attitude during this time, becoming near-broke, which led him to feel he had nothing to lose when a TV producer approached him to do a show on NBC. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air boosted his profile, and pocketbook, giving him the leverage to stage a comeback album, Homebase, in 1991. The platinum album featured the lead-off single Summertime, which has become one of their most enduring hits. Code Red, their last studio LP as a duo, released in 1993 to gold sales. The duo made it to the very top of the Singles charts in 1993 with the single Boom! Shake The Room.

Shortly afterward, Smith began to look at acting full-time; his movie roles increased, finally getting his first lead role in 1995’s Bad Boys. 1996’s Independence Day cemented him as a major draw, and he left the Fresh Prince that same year. Strangely, he and Townes ended up being sued by Jive, who alleged that the duo still owed them albums. In an intervew, Smith has stated that while shooting the Men in Black movie, Smith approached Jive with the "Men in Black" single; they turned him down, saying that it couldn’t be a hit. In the aftermath of the movie and soundtrack’s success, the duo settled the lawsuit out of court. Hence, their Greatest Hits compilation includes two cuts from the M.I.B. soundtrack.

Since then, of course, Smith has released three Columbia/Sony albums under his own name; a separate "solo" hits cd was released in 2003. Jazzy Jeff, meanwhile, recorded an aborted album for Columbia in 1999 (including a song with Eminem), and then independently released The Magnificent in 2002. He has also become an R&B producer of note, overseeing releases by Jill Scott and others.
