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.

That platinum shit belong to us, shit get that ridiculous
Y'all motherfuckas can't picture us, envy us
We the type of niggas that set it up, rush in the sto'
Put the gun in the mouth, everybody eat slugs before we leave out
Better you bleed through ya heart to ya mouth
Motherfucka I know that this the safe house
After I leave the coroner, bring 'em out
'scape route, got it made out
Put the money on the table, split the pay out
No way out, then spray out
Fuck y'all niggas we vs. folk, you'll be the first in a hearse to go
Seventeen hot for seein' ya know
For fuckin' wit my personal, dis bitch like what
My ? rush like merciless, show love or show blood
Victory's in my eyes
And I can't see
Y'all motherfuckas tryin' to fuck with me
Victory's in my eyes
And I can't see
Y'all motherfuckas tryin' to fuck with me
You ain't invincible, fuckin' wit a nigga that's critical
Nigga's talk shit, but I'm ready to go
Open with the glock and I'm ready to blow
Catch 'em at the border like mexico
Two to the head just to let you know
Fuck with us, bite the dust
Should have been a man that's righteous
Nigga was a nigga that we had to bust
Niggas in the coupe keep it tight for us
We can all go to jail now, grab money for bail now
Two keys wanna sell out, see the feds in the background
Tell them narcs in the lights out, in the bay with ya pipe out
Run like a white owl, red rum and the war's on
So y'all betta' get the hell on
Victory's in my eyes

Y'all motherfuckas tryin' to fuck with me
Victory's in my eyes

Dump it, fuck it
Old evidence, you truck it
Any ass left, you stomp it
Was it, something, that I claimed in this faith
Let it rain in every state
Or we can bang the same eight
Smoke some 'caine for my break
Thirty-two ho's to press ya take
Goin' through any minutes mayn
Do whatever here to get paid
If you comin', you better come with me
I'm about to make history
If they gotta the tee to fit me
I'ma get in where ya goin' and take them sleeves
Set the twins, hop in the benz
Do 160, pray for sins
Incredible high, nigga make endz
Puff on dope with a couple of friends
Smoke a couple of ho's, take a bend
Simple drink called hen & gin
All my niggas in the pen
When y'all get out it's on again
Y'all mad ho show tickin'
Put all the cum and stick the dick in
From ? it'll take a big man

Cock the glock, bitch shot
White ass po wanna hit the block
Wanna pull the tip, close shot

Nigga from the hood got the finest ho's
All up in the club then I'm adios
