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.
Band members;
Jared Gomes — vocals (1994-current)
Mawk (Mark Young) — bass (1994-current)
DJ Product © 1969 (Doug Boyce) — turntables (1994-current)

(hed) Planet Earth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stick then I move
Tryin' to make sense outta nonsense, fool
Trippin' on life and my situation
Brothers of earth, one love and one nation
I hear the voices callin' me
What? The choices I made were mine and I don't mind
Like the phoenix from the blunt ash realized in my dreams
Kiss the pacific sky
The purple haze brain remains open to change of tides
I desire knowledge by nature
Word to Aristotle, my nature's not to hate ya
So I tried to put myself in the trust of the other man
Peace to my brotha man
The search of a place in this world I've discovered man
Damn, check out the colors man
My eyes are open
My eyes are opening wide
My eyes are open
Yeah I see it every day
But some things never change no
Some people living in fear
Not knowing about the ten dimensions
The hed nigga reach the point of awakenin'
I annihilate niggas who be thinkin' they can break me
The next brotha can do what he want to
This brotha's sights are wide and true
And if a stupid punk muthafucka sweat me
The trick ass bitch will wish he never met me
So be warned my scorn is what ya saw here
I be down I be gone lets get it on here
Turn of the century age of the microwave
One foot on the moon one foot in the cave
But you can see it gettin better
Believe it
Young people sayin shit they ain't having it
So now they takin' shit they breakin' shit
They tired of the status quo
Here to rape your shit
Their eyes are open
Their eyes are opening wide
Their eyes are open
I see it every day
The windows are open wide and far
The windows are open wide and far
The windows are open wide and far
The windows are open wide and far
So what the fuck?
Where you going, where you been, where you at
Said where you going, where you been, where you at,
Look where you going G, where you been, where you at
Look where you're going punk
We're about to attack
If I drop the bomb

Shit's all over your face
Got shit all over your face
That sexy little girl uh, she had no father figure
The catholic skirt put a hurtin on the father's uh
Pressin' up hard on the daughter's uh
Table dances they don't come cheap
D.I.C.K. spells relief
Yeah, bring all your daughters to me
All your daughters to me
Say I was just a kid
I was just living
It never occurred to me
That skin could determine identity
I was naive ya see
I don't give a fuck never did never will
I don't give a fuck never did never will
I don't give a fuck never did never will
Pack skill then move in for the kill
I don't give a fuck never did never will
I don't give a fuck never did never will

You can't take shit from me
Cause I'm a NIGGA

You can't take shit from me
My eyes are open
See my eyes are opening wide

The (hed) Planet Earth song "Darky" is a politically charged and socially conscious call to action. The lyrics take on several themes and messages such as self-actualization, racial identity, societal problems and injustices, and the need for unity.
The opening lines, "I give it up smooth, stick then I move, tryin' to make sense outta nonsense, fool, trippin' on life and my situation" suggest that the singer is trying to navigate through a difficult and nonsensical world. The lines, "Brothers of earth, one love, and one nation" drives home the point of unity and the need to come together despite race, gender, or other differences.
The song goes on to reference the ideas of conformity and breaking from the status quo. Lines like "Some people living in fear, not knowing about the ten dimensions" and "But you can see it getting better, believe it, young people sayin shit they ain't having it, so now they're taking shit they're breaking shit, they're tired of the status quo" serve as a challenge to listeners to question and confront the structures and systems of society that limit individuality and progress.
The chorus of "My eyes are open, see my eyes are opening wide" emphasizes the theme of awakening and awareness. The repetition of "If I drop the bomb, pick it up" serves as a reminder that it is our individual responsibility to take action and make a difference.
Overall, "Darky" is a powerful and thought-provoking song about the need for social and political change.

Very fascinating. The ocean floor is almost like an undiscovered surface area of another planet. Amazing footage.

@surya how do you know? Dissin religion usually doesn’t work great for the afterlife. Just saying. One god, multiple gods, all the same belief in a power greater than our own, even if you don’t believe in any god/ spirituality we can agree to disagree

@Lil Timothy afterlife doesn't exist
