Fool Of Me Lyrics…
Enjoy.
Fool of me
Joe Harvey:
You really messed up when you simply gave up
And show the world what you were made of
You made that grave mistake to be fake and betrayed
The one and only true love of your life not ready
To fight for the rights that you clearly deserve
Hanging with herbs that don’t smoke light in darkness
With every stroke of the pen my heart gets
A little heavier and harder to handle
Skittz, Joe and A.C.E.O.N.E. we like a hammer and anvil
Just hitting the points even though the point is hard to see
Do to the increased depths and speeds
Of the process we might get serious at times
But let bygones be gone by the end of the rhyme
Cuz it’s time to incline and rise to the top like whey
While all the other curds just get led astray
So fuck what you heard and you can fuck what they say
And fuck yourself for GP and have a great day.
Chorus:
Your day is comin, Ya fucked up went,
You made a fool of me, You’re gonna get yours
Skittz:
My future wants beans from the pod of me
Something special to my family tree and my seed
Planted deep inside my earth from birth genetic cannon
With potential pry and open the girth of grand canyons
But fumbling seems to be your best move lately droppin
Pills like perfect passes y’all can’t rate me on your
Fake ass love jones wounds they need healin
In my life bred to never bluff cards keep dealin
When you think of what’s stopping the progress…WHOA
You only poppin when there’s money involved to get your arm bent
Dedicated to road trips and vacations
But the Forms of the Pro’s maintain the nation
I focus on time write a verse each day
Cuz most cats lack heart and then they end up played
I don’t float cuz shit can simply float away
I levitate since the very first second of my born day
Chorus:
AceOne:
Yeah I heard ya yicka yakkin squawkin like a chicken, scratchin
Tried to make me bleed for a few kernels of seed
What a shame just to gain grain cause my heart pain
Won’t complain claim blame cuz I though you was my main
But my man had plans to stab me in the back instead of
Building with a lifetime friend and gettin bread you
Chose to walk a deadly road that few tread low
Down dirty dog you tried to get my wife in bed…but I
Digress drop the stress and stay cool
Somebody told me God bless babies and fools
Straighten your moves your off course breakin the rules
If you refuse to elevate and improve I’m shakin loose
Believe me the hopeless ones I don’t need em
Demons, shiestin, connivin, scheming
Fuck em feed em cold sardines and throw peace kid
As sure as tone of the Forms, soon you’ll see that.
Chorus:
Our second single “Shine (You Better)”…
With the success of our debut single “Get Ready” (reaching #3 on the Rapnetwork Record Breakers Chart and #6 on the RapAttackLives Chart) The ProForm follow up single “Shine (You Better)” is hard hitting, gritty track that says “seize every opportunity you can to let your message be heard” b/w a dubbed out track telling you not to get so worked up or you might regret it. So let The ProForms message be heard. Peace.
Existence Lyrics…
Here’s Skittz’s solo song from “Atavism”.
Existence
Verse one:
When the mirror talks back it strains to rain facts
The lack of the drive used to transmit your map
If your position is global make moves to plant local
And spread that seed we need to feed focal
Points to the point where they stay remain sticky
Like post it notes or fall off your game swiftly
Necessity is pressin me guessin we don’t lead
Wit a good example best believe we carry no sleeves
Don’t let a hater scold your rep
Burnt out yanked your shoes and tried to mold your step
I dedicated all these syllables to those that created me
Ear is a pharmacy slip what’s your prescription read
What you know about the bass and the mic feed
Gum poppin hopin one day that he might teeth
Hold enough power to bite down ripe sounds
Rats pied piper is soon to leave town
Chorus:
From every angle I seen some most just need pushin
Proforms is here absorb like pin cushion
Life love letter you can write it exact
Takes a special kinda brush to paint your heart on the track
Peel back feel that keep lookin
Stage is the kitchen stay tuned for what’s cookin
Appetize platter your worth float back to earth
Every second is a blessin every breath is a birth
Verse two:
Jack knife suffer the bends from fast swimming
In a rush to make your way to the top I stand grinning
On platform firmly dried and pressed
Tried to digitize your compass direction’s a mess
Have mics will travel and come right
Back to the place that resists to unravel
Camels never have to get it over the hump they carry it
That’s the flow and the fam insane married it
Build and destroy knowledge and understandin
Plant my feet here now so I see how son standin
Better plannin while giving grown advice
Professionallly minded huh and the forms is nice
Power range oddball foursome
Oh you didn’t see it comin yo you want some more RUN
Get to moving to the canopy
Your purpose for existence is embedded in calamity
Chorus:
Verse three:
So give life stop runnin round lookin for peace pipes
Need to step around the shade and see what the heats like
We keep it hoverin like satellites every time
I touch a mic it range from candlelit to yo damn he’s bright
Servin as nightlights keepin your
Sight bright darkness is the gift when you abusing
The limelight hindsight always better in
Retrospect let the present and the past connect
More time for you to resurrect never too late
To patch cracks get some wind in your sails
Refuse to look back can you handle that
Hope so cuz the rope grow longer as impatient
Contemplation got you locked into a basement hesitation
Trying to focus on abrasions isn’t logical wounds of
Liberation is the obstacle revise ya optical
Chilly or heat waves it’s tropical
Chorus:
Hold On…
Here’s lyrics to “Hold On”. Enjoy
Hold On
Joe Harvey:
Hold on but let go speed up but go slow,
Enough to appreciate what life has to give,
And live to fullest extent before your light get spent,
And you realize that you haven’t done shit for yourself
Or your talent you got it don’t matter,
If you’re hot piss or if you’re cold snot,
As long as it’s full steam ahead and you gave it
All you had to make and break that bread that you earned is
My main concern besides making sure that my crew don’t get burned
By the biz or mother fuckers that haven’t yet learned
That what put in it is what you get from it
Can’t have no get back if don’t enjoy it
Employ it that’s the good and the bad because without the
Bad you wouldn’t know how good you once had it
Made and by the time you realize what you loved
It’s all gone cause you didn’t hold on.
AceOne:
Yo I’m confused by the fools that choose to let loose
Me and Mine are holdin on to what’s true
Brain food family tree plant seeds grow from the root
Anchored deep in solid ground watch blossom and bloom
To new heights reach for the sky consume light
We utilize the dark background for bright stars
We speak from inside spit life through microphones
Let the track pound zone out and write raw
Produce sublime bars pursue divine spark
We unify the squad dig in to fight hard
Sacrifice pride push ego aside
Put it on the line all for one one for all
Move and improve til the wheels fall off
One crew come true stay strong hold on
(One crew come true stay strong hold on)
Skittz:
I wanna write better problematic time and place
Got me looking at my purpose for my rhyming space
This room is nice but it needs some flair
Pillows ain’t for sleeping or restrictin the air
Never choose to slip keep pace realign my face
Been tilted cuz it’s hectic tryin to lose the taste
And my safe’s wide open you can slow your pace
Cross the flow like a two knot lace Hey
Glass floors, gas gorge can really mash your day
Found out that grandpappy just passed away
We talked legacy and unity the hands of fam
Reachin out and maintainin who the man I am
Is meant to be they trying to temp me
To run into the zone where these devils have sent me
Break out like it’s fourth and one gotta get it
It’s the method of the master’s gun the name
That started rumors on the block about a massive change
get a grip on the game…and hold on.

Excuse Me…lyrics
Here’s the lyrics to “Excuse Me” feat. Freeze, Alpha Live aka Gentleman Alphonse and WhoIsLouis.
Excuse Me
Joe Harvey:
My every solitary step is like a conscious breath
Taken amongst the tears within that society’s wept
And kept locked for ages just beneath the pages
To make the masses search for what the truth meant
To hold close until their heart’s content
Well wishing it away until it’s all been spent
So except the so called options that they wanna give you
And soon enough there’ll be no choices left.
Freeze:
Dippin down the interstate underneath the city lights
Freeze running a little late cuz I be getting plenty high
Soon I gotta get on stage I aint gotta get in line
Hell naw I didn’t wait that’s how you know I’m getting shine
Seeing me wit plenty babes it’s because I spit it tight
And they know I’m getting paid and they know I live the life
And they know I didn’t play and they know the city’s mine
I got juice like Minute Maid, or like Q when Bishop died
Skittz:
When I say grace it creates the mood
That got you beggin for this blessin this is more than food
Brain is all chemical energy all edible
Served, observed, certified as incredible
We gettin it wetter than most so start bettin it
No dry eyes in the house you regrettin it
Please don’t fake it the real detects it
Signs of the times won’t stop reflecting…What!
Alpha.Live:
Alphanumerical grand imperial eloquence
Your meek attempts at rhymin is insultin to my intelligence
Sonic elements verbally shatter sediment
Catastrophically alterin your existence in every sense
I could’ve been the epitome of epitome
Cage fightin wit metaphors mosh pittin wit similes
Challenge you to find better synergy than the symmetry
Assembled in the city encircled by sinister emcees
AceOne:
Yo all we need is 8 bars and I’ll create y’all
Something great for ions and ions kid ye ye ye
Yes what we have here I must confess
Possibly the best Midwest collective word is bond
Reinforced fully protected my top choice
Voice selected to mic check it weather torn
Born in the storm tried and tested stand tall
As corn stalks man it’s time to rep it…What!
WhoIsLouis:
When it rains it pours I can take no more I got these pains
aches and sores come on this expedition through the terrain of my
Brain explore if you can’t afford a mic check 1 2 3
The hard way forget about the what for
Cuz I love it rough and rugged when I clutch spit with a love
Fist or upper percussive north south east or
West bust your compasses WhoIsLouis I forever
Live in the ground that’s under than my residence…What!
While you’re ahead lyrics…
Here’s Joe Harvey’s Solo song from “Atavism”.
While you’re ahead
Chorus: You better quit while you’re ahead…
Verse One:
But I can’t so I won’t
Because a part of me thinks that I’m actually dope
So I stick faithfully by this art as an artist
And it’s been that way since the day that I started
Cause like I said in these parts I’m like a white rhino
So it doesn’t help that I still collect vinyl
I’m looked upon like a relic to these zealots
That don’t know shit from shave but they’re quick to say
That what I make sounds dated in the game
Not knowing that their favorite producers do the same
Thing that I do (I do) for my crew (my crew)
And a myriad of others that want to
Have that boom bap feel good raw rap
That’s reminiscent of the past and created to last
While your style is stale bread I’ll make you eat what you said
Chorus:
Verse Two:
Ahead of the curve but these herbs
Lack the flavor and spice to make anything nice
So you better think twice if you think all it takes
To make classics is a few plug-ins and virtual crates
And you wonder why I’m feeling irate when these
Vultures are leaving us culturally raped
By dismissing the past and the methods of the madness
Treating old techniques as bad habits
Dagnabbit, I can’t stand it that the very first
Love of my life is still being taken for granted
But I’ll manage and nurture this talent
Say my peace and then be off to the next planet
Until then my friend I’ll stick to what I do best
Which is simply address, the topic at hand
And with this one line I’ll recap what I said
Make It Easy Lyrics…
here’s track 3 off of “Atavism”.
Make it easy
Skittz:
Combine elements mix relevant conclusion
Of the math calculated to equate solution
Fused pieced together underneath the skin
Make it easy never greasy elevate your chin
Joe Harvey:
Shake Shake Shaking your dentals while you masticating over Instrumentals with essential vitamins and minerals
Cuz these tentacles reach the highest peaks of the physical plane
Through this written material without a single novelty gain
AceOne:
I conglomerate collaborate coagulate gel it’s
12 o’clock time to rock all is well
Get on your square find your balance cuz we tippin the scale
For heaven’s sake we keep it fresh as hell make it easy
- Chorus:
AceOne:
Easy does it do it easy peezy
Push rhymes like weight leave these other cats winded weezy
Accept fact that invest your weakling
Me and mine rhyme strong in the eye of the storm
Skittz:
Walk Walk like my city talk like my country
Represent mind game mind frame I won’t be
Less than the blade on this apex
Scatter shatter balls keep it realer than Memorex
Joe Harvey:
Take aim, cock Proforms ready to rock new recruits
With a standard stock making it easy when it’s time to shoot
Or stomp the mess out of a guest when they simply don’t impress
With that self righteous arrogance we ain’t having or fucking with
- Chorus:
Skittz:
This net works catch it like a midas pitch
Shoot flow and kill slow redefine the swish
Game face stone cold who I’m rhymin with
Crew steady rock heavy waters’ livest fish
Joe Harvey:
Analyzing to clarify and observing to simplify
The sonic tectonics for bypassing the unjustified
Stepped out of the mesmerized while enduring the pathetic
Era can you spare some perfect credit for the merit make it easy
AceOne:
Proforms assemble voltronic super soul
Sonic sound waves pack the power cosmic
Hip hop building blocks roll and rock it solid
Time to dig it like a garden make way for me squadron.
- Chorus:
More lyrics for you…
here’s the lyrics from the second song off of our album “Atavism”. Enjoy.
Shine (you better)
AceOne:
Relax your mind body soul give in and let go
Breathe deep inhale exhale and explode
Come together with my brethren assemble the form pro
Move straight illuminate it’s time to glisten and glow
I speak easy no boundaries surroundin me
Spit it fantastic four, ever and ever more
Feel my body grow warm in the eye of Johnny storm
Human torch hot as the sun combined with the earth’s core
This is lyrics this is music it’s a movement and more
This is spirit feel the muse it’s an unstoppable force
From the windows to wall the front to back door
From the bottom to the top the ceiling back to the floor
Proform rap monster and I’m ready to roar
Fully expand the wing span team ready to soar
Take flight stay fresh to life it’s finally time
I can hear the voices screamin in the back of my mind (you better)
Skittz:
F.L.O.W is in
E.F.F etc, with the two last letters
Flipped dipped and manifested
Rearrange your third phase lookin for new questions
I thought about the ledge of the window
Holding my hand there won’t represent the reason I’m in for
So I keep on climbin simultaneous timing
Make my way around the speed bumps I feel like I’m dying
Let the heat blow and feed your desire for worth
Never mentioned that the cold could really strengthen my earth
Cuz it’s hard sometimes to write lines, vines are pipelines
Brain boxin trying to hook at the right time
East coast born and Midwest shaped
Family ties with strong minds form professional plates
Definition we just shinin no lotion or oil
Supplemental to your mental let the spring uncoil (you better)
Joe Harvey:
In hindsight my stubbornness has made everything I’ve done
Possible but simultaneously drove me insane
Plain and simple it allowed me to bring shine to the sun
While being grounded to the earth dealin with the profane
The game’s changed but it hasn’t it still has the stench
Of amateurs in control while pros ride the bench and
We don’t mind get your shine from the deaf dumb and blind
But in end we’ll take a tally to see whose left
Standing feet firmly planted leaving a branding
For the next generation to have a better understanding
(Ye, Ye, Ye, Yes) Of exactly what it takes to cultivate
An iron will that helps nourish the skills to spot a fake
And not take the easy road of the sound with no soul
Or intelligence containin subject matter of irrelevance
So we’ve done our very best from the word to the letter
To the line and combined every rhyme you better shine
