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.

Do Or Die Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pimpin ain't easy, but somebody's gotta do it..
[Verse One]
I see lookin all good with a see-through dress on, nails pressed on
Get your flex on, like fuckin off that song
lookin like you gotta vest on
By the way you thinkin you gotta peel with it
It's all cirentricals baby you ain't real with it
If you down then we'll feel it
But that's all them lils said
But licks told we can pick up the looks to the field yo
We can party with P.T.s on T.P. with a tub of hennesse
Three hoes screamin 'cause they straight out da hood
Chi-town pimps that all it took
Better yet we can say this party booked
Let's ride to the corner and get some more
On the way back we can pick up some hoes
Show em how to talk em out of their clothes
Handle some freaky shit behind those
See how the pimp be peeped with them flow
Do or Die's all I know
Make em do shit they ain't did before
Number one rule, don't kiss them low
Lemme do my pimp hard
[Chorus]
I'd rather pimp youooh yeaaaaaaah (Only you)
Said I'd rather pimp with you(Hey)
I'd rather pimp youooh yeaaaaaaah (only youuuuuuu)
Said I'd rather pimp with you
[Verse Two]
Well lemme address myself I'm Belo 5'8"and chocolockolate
Rollin in my lex you want to sex reach in my pocket lick
What the dimmyo fo' we start roll up a philly blunt I got silly stuck
Get you high and we have plenty fun
Park in my garage I've a Dodge we can get it on
Flip the script she's grown, now I got her in a zone
N-O M-O-N-E-why I'm a Po P-I-M-P
Hit this bee and do just fine afterwards just stay low key
Got no time for silly games I'm not trying to get you sprung

Do you really want to ride
Just prove you down and we can get you off slip and slide

Ridin boulevards flex em hard with my mini gat
Pull up on the ass shoulda shot where da hoes be at, hold me back
'cause I know two hoes that I'm gon creep with
Playin hard to get in '98 that I'm gon sleep with
[Chorus]
I'd rather pimp youooh yeaaaaaaah (Only you)
Said I'd rather pimp with you (I'd rather pimp you babay)
I'd rather pimp youooh yeaaaaaaah (uhhhhhhhhhh)

[Verse Three]
Do you want to be in my Lexus coupe smoked out,
With them tinted windows next to you
Riding tight catchin the best of views
And don't be scared to gimme a clue on whatcha want to do
'cause I'm a playa so I say what I feel is true
'cause I done been around the things that you going through
And God made hard things girl for me and you ( and me and you)
Just when a nigga get some mints we got the sex through
So playas one and two from ??? never made through them past years
Take pause pull outta glass here
and now we can toast to our new careers
And forget about the jealous thing
our love in the game and how yo girls trying to rub on my thing
And I ain't worried about you ruinin my name
'cause you never seen much cream in life
Only what you dreamed in life
And when they itching me right
You be there grippin me tight
Holdin me high

The song, "Pimpology" by Do or Die, discusses the lifestyle of a pimp, highlighting their luxurious existence with women, money, and material possessions. The lyrics begin with the admission that pimpin' isn't an easy task, and that while it may look good, it's not for everyone. The verses then describe the lavish ways of pimps, their seduction techniques, and their control over women, ultimately ending with a message that there's only one rule: don't kiss them low.
The chorus is sung in a smooth and melodic voice, conveying a sense of intimacy and personal connection between the pimp and his women. The chorus continues to repeat, emphasizing that the pimp would rather pimp with only his selected women, and that he would rather be with them than anyone else. The song's overall message is that while the lifestyle of a pimp may appear to be glamorous and exciting, it's not always easy, and only certain individuals are capable of handling it.

You look stunning in your see-through dress, your nails looking perfect, showing off your confidence like you own the song. You seem to have a tough exterior like you need a hard shell, but always willing to peel it off. If you're willing, we're willing to party all night with some Hennessey and some ladies from the hood. No harm in showing them how we roll and let the pimp in us take over. We'll drive around, pick up more women, seduce them, and do things they've never done. Just remember, pimps never kiss low.
I'd rather pimp youooh yeaaaaaaah (Only you)

I'd rather pimp youooh yeaaaaaaah (only youuuuuuu)
Said I'd rather pimp with you
I want to pimp with only you. Let's do this together.

Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Belo and I stand at 5'8", and I'm irresistible to lick when I reach deep into my pocket. Let's smoke some weed and have some fun. We can have sex in my garage while listening to some music. I don't have time for games, but I have homies who could join us for some fun. You want to join the ride and be with the ballers who could give you a great time. While I flex and show off with my mini gun, we could also pick up some hoes and creep with them all night long.

Do you want to ride with me in my Lexus coupe with tinted windows and smoke some weed while enjoying the view? Tell me what you want to do because as a player, I want you to be honest. I have gone through similar things you are going through, and it was tough for both of us. However, we could make things interesting. Playas one and two from the past didn't make it through, but we could make toasts to our new careers. Forget about the others who are trying to flirt with me, hold me tight as I show you a good time. You can't ruin my reputation since you never had the life experiences and money to understand the lifestyle. You hold me high, and I'd rather be pimping you tonight.
