The band was formed by rapper Jared Gomes, also known as "M.C.U.D." (MC Underdog), and guitarist Wes Geer, who became friends amidst the Orange County hardcore punk scene. Gomes and Geer recruited guitarist Chizad, bassist Mawk, drummer B.C. Vaught and DJ Product © 1969. They named the group "Hed", which stands for "higher education". The band built a following with their energetic performances at local venues, and released the self-financed extended play, Church of Realities. Legal issues forced Hed to change their name, adding PE, which stood for Planet Earth.

Crazy Life
(hed) Planet Earth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hit hydro
Whenever I let my mind go
It's like psycho - suicidal
Baby love it when I cut it like an animal
Once again - it's primetime - kamikaze
That policeman tried to rob me
That policeman is afraid of me
Someone take this glass away.
I'm not myself again
I'm someone else again.
Come on, here we go!
Shalala - here it comes again! x3
What a crazy life!
Here we go,
Shalala - here it comes again! x3
What a crazy life!
Up in the middle of Cali
In an alley
Makin' love to the teenage lady
Ya can't fade me
But don't hate me
She look just like Marsha Brady
I kinda laugh when these girls try to play with me
I told my ex-girlfriend, stay away from me
I got a new girlfriend, and she'll kick your ass
I kinda wonder how long this kind of shit can last.
Someone take this glass away.
I'm not myself again
I'm someone else again.
Come on, here we go!
Shalala - here it comes again! x3
What a crazy life!
Here we go,
Shalala - here it comes again! x3
What a crazy life!
Just bring it.
Crazy. x3
x2
Just bring it.
Up in the middle of yo face
What a disgrace
You a trik-ass-bitch
How my dick taste – motherfucker
No, aint nobody feelin' you
And I aint goin' back to prison over killin' you
What?!
I'm the type o' nigga that's built to last
You can fuck my bitch
I put my foot in your ass
Still, I don't givafuk
I just keep fuckin' and smokin'
I'm bruised not broken.
Shalala - here it comes again! x3
What a crazy life!
Here we go,
Shalala - here it comes again! Come on! x3
What a crazy life!
Shalala - come on, here we go! x3
What a crazy life!

The song Crazy Life by (hed) P.E. presents a chaotic world where drugs, sex, and violence are rampant. The lyrics describe different scenarios that reflect the discordant nature of life. The first verse is set in Tokyo where the singer is under the influence of drugs, feeling suicidal and animalistic. The second verse is set in California, where the singer is having sex with a teenage girl and mentions his ex-girlfriend. The final verse is more aggressive, as the singer confronts someone and threatens violence.
The repetitive refrain of "Shalala - here it comes again! What a crazy life!" reinforces the madness of the situations described in the lyrics. The use of slang and profanity adds to the rawness and authenticity of the song's tone. The last line "I'm bruised not broken" suggests that despite the chaos and difficulty of life, the singer is still standing.
Overall, Crazy Life can be interpreted as a commentary on the dark side of life - drugs, sex, violence, and confrontation - and their effects on people who experience them.

Up in the middle of Tokyo
I find myself in Tokyo
I hit hydro
I use Hydro, a type of drug
Whenever I let my mind go
When I let my thoughts wander
It's like psycho - suicidal
It feels like going insane and suicidal
Baby love it when I cut it like an animal
My partner likes when I behave aggressively during sex
Once again - it's primetime - kamikaze
It's a dangerous situation, but I'm still going for it
That policeman tried to rob me
The police officer accused me of wrongdoing
That policeman is afraid of me
The police officer is intimidated by me
But, he will never take away my dignity.
Despite the situation, I will remain proud of myself
Someone take this glass away.
I want someone to remove my drink
I'm not myself again
I feel out of control
I'm someone else again.
I am not behaving like my usual self
Come on, here we go!
Let's continue with what we were doing
Shalala - here it comes again! x3
This is a repeated pattern in my life
What a crazy life!
My life is full of unpredictable moments
Up in the middle of Cali
I'm in California
In an alley
In a dark and secluded area
Makin' love to the teenage lady
Engaging in sexual activity with a young girl
Ya can't fade me
You can't compete with me
But don't hate me
But try to not feel resentful towards me
She look just like Marsha Brady
She resembles Marsha Brady from The Brady Bunch TV show
I kinda laugh when these girls try to play with me
I find it amusing when girls try to manipulate me
I told my ex-girlfriend, stay away from me
I warned my former partner to not approach me
I got a new girlfriend, and she'll kick your ass
My current partner is willing to defend me
I kinda wonder how long this kind of shit can last.
I question how long this unstable lifestyle can continue
Up in the middle of yo face
I am confronting someone directly
What a disgrace
You are a shameful and disappointing person
You a trik-ass-bitch
You are a deceitful and manipulative person
How my dick taste – motherfucker
A vulgar and provocative insult towards someone
No, aint nobody feelin' you
Nobody likes you and understands you
And I aint goin' back to prison over killin' you
I won't risk going to jail again for causing your death
What?!
An exclamation of disbelief
I'm the type o' nigga that's built to last
I'm a resilient person that can endure difficulties
You can fuck my bitch
I don't care if you have sex with my partner
I put my foot in your ass
I will hurt you physically
Still, I don't givafuk
I still don't care about the consequences
I just keep fuckin' and smokin'
I continue to have sex and use drugs
I'm bruised not broken.
Despite the challenges, I'm still standing
Just bring it.
I'm ready for whatever you have to offer
Crazy. x3
