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.

DJ Product © 1969 (Doug Boyce) — turntables (1994-current)

So it Be
(hed) Planet Earth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We can all get high we can all get laid
With just a little compassion we can all just shine
No kids go hungry no child left behind
Why every time a leader steps outta line
We find cut down early before he hits his prime
Bob Marley never saw 35
JFK and Martian Luther both lost their minds, literally
Lincoln got a hot bullet parked from behind
So stay on the grind, pick up on the sign
Gotta let the Devil know that I'm taken back what's mine
Now ain't nobody here def dumb and blind
You we can see the clock is ticking we running out of time
These faggots ain't listening, they afraid to die
So they lie, what, lie, what, lie, what, lie
Let's work it out
Yeah can we get together
Let's work it out
Come on lets get together
Let's work it out
Yeah get yourself together
Let's work it out
You know we got to get together
Some will be and some will hear
Some will be and some will hear
Some will be and some will hear
Black magic
As the day gets shorter and nights grow bigger
Why on cops they always chasing a nigga
And why on FOX they always selling us fear
Twenty-four seven three six five a year
In the light of an analytical political mind
Hard line hard line after hard line
And like a runaway, runaway slave
With a taste of the freedom I don't know how to behave
If we can all get together we can break these chains
Run with Harriet Tubman on the underground train
Like Kunta Kenai trying to save his name
Like Marcus Starry I fear no man
Now ain't nobody here def dumb and blind
You we can see the clock is ticking we running out of time
We can hear the call we not afraid to die
So we get high so high we can kiss the sky
Let's work it out
Yeah can we get together
Let's work it out
Come on lets get together
Let's work it out
Yeah get yourself together
Let's work it out
You know we got to get together
Some will be and some will hear
Some will be and some will hear
Some will be and some will hear
Black Magic
Bring the M-16's the tools of war
The blood that runs so red stains us all
Cold steel turns so hot so fast
When the young soldiers switch off safety and blast
Will they ever see the light again? I hope so
Will they ever sleep at night again? I don't know
Will their mother ever see her son again?
They need to show that shit on ABC or CNN
Here we go again I'm-a enter this battle to win
I'm a show the Devil exactly how this battle begins
With a spliff a couche some juice and gin
Don't sweat my technique let the zodiac spin
More money more problems right with my life
Like with the rent twice they turned off the lights
Now ain't nobody here def dumb and blind
You we can see the clock is ticking we running out of time
Let's work it out
Yeah can we get together
Let's work it out
Come on lets get together
Let's work it out
Yeah get yourself together
Let's work it out
You know we got to get together
Some will be and some will hear
Some will be and some will hear
Some will be and some will hear
Some will be and some will hear
The lyrics of "(hed) Planet Earth's" song "So it Be" call for unity and love among people. The lyrics urge people to gather together to get paid, high and laid, but also to shine and show compassion, ensuring that no child goes hungry or is left behind. The song acknowledges the early deaths and losses of influential leaders like Bob Marley, JFK, Martian Luther, and Abraham Lincoln, with lyrics that caution readers to read beyond the lines. The song calls for people to stand strong, pick-up sign, and let the devil know that they are taking back what's theirs. The chorus encourages unity with the repetition of “Let's work it out," and the song ends with a call for unity with the repetition of "Some will be and some will hear, Black Magic."

The Deccan Traps looks to be about opposite the Chicxulub Crater. Is this similar to the impact crater in Australia and the flood basalt flows in Russia? Impact on one side and the opposing side of the Earth ahs massive flood basalt events? Very believable, the dating of the two events, Deccan and Chicxulub just has to be off by a small margin.

Whenever someone talks about life on earth, the Star Trekkin’ song pops into my head. (“It’s life Jim, but not as we know it.”)
