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)
Jaxon — guitar (2004-current)
Trauma — drums (2009-current)
Get Ready
(hed) Planet Earth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't need no baggage just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the angels humming
You don't need no ticket just thank the lord
Get Ready Ready, my people get ready come on
Get Ready Ready, my people get ready come on
We're picking up passengers from coast to coast
Faith is the key open the doors and border
There's hope for all among those left the most
Get Ready Ready, my people get ready come on
Get Ready Ready, my people get ready come on
There ain't no room for the hopeless
And the who would hurt all mankind just to save his own
Have pity on those who sheds his growth
And the fall there's no hiding place against the kingdoms throne
Get Ready Ready, my people get ready come on
Get Ready Ready, my people get ready come on
Get Ready Ready, Ready, Ready, Ready, Ready,
Ready, Ready, Ready, Ready, Ready, Ready, Ready
There is no hiding place
There is no hiding place
There is no, there is no hiding place

Get Ready Ready, my people get ready come on
Get Ready Ready, my people get ready come on
The lyrics to (hed) Planet Earth's song Get Ready appear to be inspired by gospel music, and specifically, by the classic gospel song "People Get Ready" by Curtis Mayfield. The message of the lyrics is one of hope, urging people to get ready for a train that symbolizes salvation and escape from the troubles of the world. The idea is that anyone can board the train, regardless of their past or present circumstances. All that's required is faith and a willingness to leave behind the baggage of the past.
The first verse sets the scene, with the train approaching and the call to action to get on board. The line "You don't need no baggage just get on board" emphasizes the idea that one can leave behind their past struggles and sins to start anew. The second verse expands on the idea of the train as a symbol of salvation and hope for all.
The chorus, with its repetition of "Get Ready Ready, my people get ready come on," serves as a rallying cry for listeners to prepare themselves for the train's arrival. The bridge features a warning about those who would harm others in their quest for personal gain and a reminder that ultimately, there is no hiding place from a higher power.
Overall, the lyrics of Get Ready are a positive and uplifting message of hope and encouragement in difficult times.

In the military barracks in Germany, around 1971, high as a kite on hashish. This song playing on a thousand dollar stereo setup, bass turned up, the band crawls inside your head and makes itself at home. You are one with the music. 5 or 6 guys in the room , no one saying a word, all just knodding our heads to the beat. Thousands of miles away from home, but we are
at peace with the world.

I first heard this awesome song when it came out in 1969.. Rare Earth was great then and they are still great some 54 years later!!! Not many groups can outlive the generation they came out with!!! Rare Earth hangs in with Steppenwolf, Iron Butterfly, Rolling Stones and others!!!! ROCK ON!!!!
