1) Do or Die is an American rap trio originally from Chicago, Illinois. The group experienced mainstream success with the single "Po Pimp", a collaboration with fellow Chicago rapper, Twista, off the album Picture This, that peaked at #22 on the Billboard Hot 100. Group members are Belo Zero, N.A.R.D. (Niggas Ain't Ready to Die) and AK-47. Belo Zero was a late addition to the group w/ Psycho Drama member Young Buk being an original member. Young Buk never recorded any material w/ the group and Belo Zero was later added to the roster. The trio has sold more than 3 million albums. Alongside Crucial Conflict, another Chicago group with a similar vocal and lyrical style, they helped launch the city's first national hip hop movement.
2) Do Or Die is a Belgian Metal band. They have always been a live band. Formed in 1999 and led by their founder/singer Chris, DO OR DIE always felt comfortable on stage, no matter if it was at the big European festivals, opening for bands such as Hatebreed, Agnostic Front, ProPain and Biohazard or in front of 100 kids in a club, they always put out the same energy as if it was their first show. After the first 7 inch EP "Tears of Rage" (500 copies sold in less than a month) got released, they immediately started playing shows non-stop all over Benelux and France. Their first full length "Heart Full of Pain" came out in 2001 on I Scream Records. More shows/tours followed and they also recorded their second record, "The Meaning of Honor", in the same year, which was released in early 2002.
DO OR DIE then faced a tough period in their career. Half of the band decided to quit in 2003 because of a conflict between their personal lives and the exhausting touring attached to being in DO OR DIE. 2004 saw them return with a new line-up and the loudest comeback imaginable, when they played Pressure Fest, Graspop and Fury Fest on the same weekend. "Tradition" got recorded around that time too and was released in 2005, marking their first effort for Alveran Records and the start of their cooperation with M.A.D. Tourbooking, both of which opened the doors to Germany for the band. One of the guitarists left the band in the same year, but the rest of DO OR DIE, already familiar with throwbacks, were not willing to put it down and continued promoting "Tradition" across Germany, Holland, Poland, Sweden, and well known festivals like the Dour Fest, Pressure Fest, With Full Force and even the Superbowl of Hardcore in New York while at the same time writing songs for a new record.
Come 2008, the new album is all wrapped up, carries the title "Pray for Them" and is scheduled for a release on May 23rd. This record marks a new start for the band with a new face and new strength but still holding on to the roots of the previous releases. Do Or Die are back and determined to take back the crown of European Hardcore - 2008 will see the band touring non-stop with "Pray For Them" in their luggage set to destroy every stage they will enter.
3) Do Or Die is a bay area g-rap group from San Francisco, CA.
4) Do Or Die were a christian pop-punk band from North Shore, Auckland NZ. They played numerous shows and won a competition to record and release a single, however it was never fully completed and instead only a test pressing was released. They had a very short-lived career, lasting only a year or two. Members moved on to play in Scenic Drive, Bright Lights, xSunday Schoolx and Alaska.
Chain Of Command
Do Or Die Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
it will be off with yo hands
you got the nerve to disrespect
Eagles don't fly with pigeons.
this ain't no bluffing conversation
you stuc
k in the situation
playin' a game you can't win
Eagles don't fly with pigeons
The lyrics to Do Or Die's song Chain Of Command convey the theme of hierarchy and the consequences of challenging it. The "chain of command" represents the system of authority and the power dynamics that exist within it. The first line "this is the chain of command, it will be off with yo hands" suggests that those who disrespect or challenge authority will face severe consequences. The metaphor "off with yo hands" is used to underscore the severity of these consequences, implying a loss of power and control.
The second set of lyrics "you're stuck in the situation, playing a game you can't win" suggests that challenging authority is futile and will ultimately lead to failure. The metaphor "Eagles don't fly with pigeons" reinforces the idea that those who seek to challenge the established order will find themselves isolated and unable to achieve their goals. The use of animal imagery suggests a sense of natural law and hierarchy, emphasizing the idea that some are meant to be dominant and others are meant to serve.
Overall, Do Or Die's Chain Of Command is a powerful statement about the dangers of challenging established hierarchies and the consequences that come with doing so. The lyrics emphasize the importance of respecting authority and staying within the established order, while underscoring the difficulties and isolation that come with trying to go against it.
