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.

Dead Homies
Do Or Die Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
[Intro] [Johnny P]
Now I lay me down to sleep.
Said I pray the lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake.
Said I pray the lord my soul to taaaaaake.
[Background Prayer]
Our Father, which art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us for our trespasses.
[Verse 1] [N.A.R.D.]
I feel like a bullet flown through the wrong hole.
Seein' different dimensions and lost souls.
Tackled by jackels, delivered my life on the wrong
road.
I simply advise those to travel through the black
hole, you, incarcerated but even though you be
obligated.
At the bottom of the pit with a sharp so feeling
depressed and intoxicated.
cloud my memories. Life song wont touch which me.
Mayhem to infinity.
So i pray that the end is around me cause ain't no
telling where the clowns will be.
Premediated on drownin' me. How the fuck that sound
to me? Frownin' me. Then have the nerves to put the
rounds in me. See my brother is dead. My daddy was
lost in a car crash. My grandmother killed by
cancer.
So I deal with the cards that was dealt to me.
People selfishly keep asking me this bullshit like,
what the fuck it felt to me?
My nigga died in my arm with a jab in his left palm.
I'm sinking deep in my membrane till I find this
thing which we call pain.
The fact of the matter it makes you wanna use them
thangs. Stress, flow to the beat be smoking on
constantly. Would a mention a stereotype with niggas
buggin' me and judgin' me but the shit I love to see
is your kids be huggin' me, the crossroads of
reality.
Casually, casualties, this shit instilled in me so
muthafuckas keep feelin' me cause muthafucka its
real with me.
[Chorus] [Johnny P]
This is for my dead homies. (This is for my homies)
This is for my dead homies. (ooohhh can you hear me)
This is for my dead homies. (comin' from the bottom
of my heart)
This is for my dead homies.
[Verse 2] [Belo Zero]
I clutch on my tummy and feel pain.
I run on the ground as I cry rain.
Now feel like I patch out the membrane.
I roll on the curve while I smoke jane.
Now tell me this bitch in this mark mayne.
I bet you this nigga the hot one.
I'm burnin' this bitch when I spot one.
And bring on the click cause I shot one.
I pick up the phone and I can't call.
I'm hearing the voice but it ain't yall.
I scribbled your name on the stone wall.
I drink the remmy with my ro' dawg.
and fly out the sea if it come to.
I'm gunnin' the nigga that gunned you.
I'm one of the realest to run to.
Can't wait till the day that I'm with you.
I'm stickin' ur face in my back wall.
Lil Vile took a slug in the downfall.
[???] in the crossfire.
You done killed 3rd of them so I can't die.
and revenge is a must so I can't lie
I got niggas on the out and they gon' ride.
You a north star boy and we gon' fight.
So sleep with your girls in the darkness.
I'm born to be hard of the heartless.
I visioned your break and regardless, I miss you
regardless. (i miss you regardless nigga, rest in
peace.)
[Chorus]
This is for my dead homies. (This is for my homies)
This is for my dead homies. (It's been too hard
living but I'm afraid to die)
This is for my dead homies.
This is for my dead homies.
[Verse 3] [AK-47]
Now in the midst of the storm we inject these lethal
warnings Peter Tone please rest they soul the
different load, Only Christ only know.
Even though, we sit and blow. Fold to the ways of
time. J-Rock was sprayed with nines.
Now the blind is eating the blind. You gets me?
Because he one of the jacks that sell those keys to
entrepreneurs. (So selfish)
He can't seem to keep his life on one accord.
And it seems like death and jail is calling for the
same vocals.
God put us in the aim and choke you.
Worldwide and even local.
Tell the bitches to tell how they soak you.
But I'm not concerned with the evening news.
Take a glimpse of what this evil do.
When the demons and shells is led to you,Its said
that you, school, may the lord take care of you.
Conversation, we shared a few.
Ran around, we laughed and broke some rules, smoke
some weed, and shared some bustdowns too.
Now what am I to do, you gon' left me so befuddled.
I pray that the lord hear my heart and assemble my
puzzle and embrace in cuddles and accept our prayers
in massive puddles.
[Bridge] [Johnny P]
Now I lay me down to sleep.
said I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake.
Said I pray the Lord my soul to taaaake.
[Outro] [Johnny P]
