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 ยฉ 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.

(hed) Planet Earth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My kind we fight in the club
I mix up that vodka with the chronic and I feel that love
I dream I work I bleed
I say things that I don't really mean
I'm not into Jail-bait but my girlfriends only seventeen
Can I hit that can I rip that can I lick that Can I get that from behind
I'm murdering and stabbing so much vag I'm wanted for vagaside
Now the rain is coming and I'm running from myself again
I feel this darkness coming over me
It's taking over me
Now you can rest in pieces
By the time the sun goes down
Now nigga you can rest in pieces
Lets ride yeah everybody gonna die
Fuck the world nigga ain't nobody getting out alive
Lets ride motherfucker we all gonna die
We already dead ain't nobody getting out
I paint a picture that's perfect so you can see what I'm saying
I state it perfectly clearly so that you know I ain't playing
Cause I don't give a fuck about you or that shit that you're saying
Because you caught up in the matrix you blind you sleeping homie
I dream I work I bleed I say things that I don't really mean
But mostly when I drink too much and I'm smoking too much coush and
I'm under too much pressure I think I think too much
I can't find my piece of mind I feel like I'm losing touch
I feel this darkness coming over me
I can't take it I can't escape all this hating
It's my turn I'm retaliating now
By the time the sun goes down
I know you feel me nigga, you feel me nigga
Lets ride yeah everybody gonna die
Fuck the world nigga ain't nobody getting out alive
Lets ride motherfucker we all gonna die
We already dead ain't nobody getting out
So throw your guns up playa and raise 'em up high
It's a revolution you know we can't be denied
It's (Hed) pe homie we born to ride
This a motherfuckin' gang and we down for life
Let's ride all day all night
Let's ride its dead or alive
Lets ride everybody gonna die
Fuck the world nigga ain't nobody getting out
No I won't stop I just rock and I battle your whole clique
You a homo you a trick silly faggot ass bitch
I expose that dirty bitch for the ho that she is;
Make her cry make her thighs twitch then cum on her tits
I'm a rock I'm a roll I'm a shock to your soul
When I flow niggas know I'm like malcolm on dope
Every note that I wrote will make you choke like joe smoke
On that hydro so high so I don't know where the time goes
I try to do right and I can't figure out
Why I get schizo and psycho I go Jeckle to Hyde
It's these voices inside it's that darkness above me
Makes me turn away from good to bad then to ugly
That's why drugs seem so lovely like a way to escape
All this ugliness above me how much more can we take
Till we break and we take back the world from these fake motherfuckers
I hate big brother uh do you think it's too late
