Darky
Hed Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Give it up smooth
Stick then I move
Tryin' to make sense outta of nonsense
Fool

Trippin' on life and my situation
Brothers of earth
One love-one & 1 nation
I hear the voices callin' me

The choices I made were mine
And I don't mind
I rise to the top like cream
Like the Phoenix from the blunt ash

Realizin' my dreams
Kissin' the pacific sky
The purple haze brain remain open
To changin' tides

I desire knowledge by nature
Word to Aristotle
My nature's not to hate ya
So I try to put myself in the Chucks of the other man

Peace to my brother
Search out my pace in this
World I discover man
Damn, check out the colors man

My eyes are man
My eyes are opening wide
My eyes are open
I see it everyday

But some things never change-no
Some people livin' in fear
Not knowin' about the ten dimensions
The (hed) nigga reach the point of awakening

I annihilate nigga who be thinkin' that they can break me
The next brother can do what they want to
This brother's sites are wide and true
If a stupid punk sweat me

The trick ass bitch'll wish
He never met me
So be warned my scorn is what you saw there
Be down or be gone

Let's get it on there
Turn of the century
Age of the microwave
One foot on the moon

But, you can see it gettin' better
Believe it
Young people sayin' "they ain't havin' it"
So? they takin'

They breakin's
They tired of the status quo
Fittin' to rape yo'
Their eyes are open

The windows are wide and far
So what the f...
Where you goin'
Where you been

Where you at
If I drop the bomb
Pick it up...
That sexy little girl

She had no father figure
The Catholic skirt
Put a hurtin' on the father's *?$*#
Table dances-they don't cum cheap

Dee-eye-see-kaye
Spells "relief"
Bring all your daughter to me
I was a just kid

I was just living
It never occurred to me that
Skin could determine identity
I was naive you see

Don't givaf...
Never did never will




My eyes are open wide
Pack skillz then move in for the kill

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Darky" by hed P.E. are a meditation on identity, consciousness, and the struggle to make sense of life's ups and downs. The song begins with a nod to the rapper's skills at "stick[ing] then I move" and trying to understand the "nonsense" of the world. The next verse explores themes of brotherhood, love, and unity, as the rapper hears "the voices callin' me" and seeks to find his place in the world. The chorus echoes this sense of searching, as the singer declares that his "eyes are open wide," and he sees the realities of life, from people living in fear to the hope of a better future.


As the song continues, the rapper delves deeper into his own psyche, exploring the choices he has made and the need to rise like "cream" to the top of his game. He references the smoke of a "blunt ash" and "purple haze brain" as he realizes his dreams and seeks knowledge like "Aristotle." But despite his own ambitions, the singer also recognizes the importance of empathy and understanding, pledging "my nature's not to hate ya" and trying to "put myself in the Chucks of the other man."


The final verses of the song are more confrontational, as the rapper warns those who would try to break him, threatening to "annihilate" anyone who stands in his way. He also references the "turn of the century" and the modern world of "microwaves" and "one foot on the moon." And throughout the song, the bass-heavy groove, distorted guitar riffs, and raw vocal performance underscore the raw power of the lyrics.
