Fly or Die
Rock Mafia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

For those who tread lightly, who need some enlightenment
The world is what you make of it
You fill it up and break it 'til
The pieces inside you
The pieces inside you
Help you find your way back home
So take it or leave it 'cause I don't believe it
And you wont receive it until you achieve it
I know that you need it I see you defeated
They're growing defeated to show you're a leader
And let love flow 'til it echos slow
And makes its way across the globe

Fly or die
Well that's the way ya do it
Nearly getting by
Well what could be more stupid?
'Cause before you know it your life is over
So fly or die (a tedaly detaly de de)
Fly or die
At least you know your livin'
If you get too high
Well what could be more thrillin'
'Cause before you know it your life is over
So fly, fly, fly or die (die, die, die, die, die, die)

Today your beginning the life you'll be living
And every thought and every step
Will take you closer to the dreams you kept deep inside you
Inside it will guide you
So keep your ear close to your heart
Well it's easy to see it but harder to say it
The heart of the art is to try and relay it
Until you can play it or show and display it
To those who are waiting to stop the complaining
But let love flow
As the sun sets low
'Cause that's the only way to go

Fly or die
Well that's the way ya do it
Nearly getting by
Well what could be more stupid?
'Cause before you know it your life is over
So fly or die (a tedaly detaly de de)
Fly or die
At least you know your livin'
If you get too high
Well what could be more thrillin'
'Cause before you know it your life is over
So fly, fly ,fly or die (die, die, die, die, die, die)

Fly or die
Well that's the way ya do it
Nearly getting by
Well what could be more stupid?
'Cause before you know it your life is over
So fly or die (a tedaly detaly de de)
Fly or die
At least you know your livin'
If you get too high
Well what could be more thrillin'
'Cause before you know it your life is over




So fly, fly ,fly or die (die, die, die, die, die, die)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Rock Mafia's song "Fly or Die" emphasize the importance of taking charge of one's life and living it to the fullest, whether it involves taking flight towards one's aspirations or languishing in mediocrity. The first verse encourages those who need guidance to look inward and discover the pieces of themselves that they may have neglected or forgotten. These pieces, once rediscovered, can be used to make something of the world, as well as oneself. However, this advice is not easy to follow, as it requires courage, self-belief, and hard work. It's only after one achieves some level of success that they can truly understand the benefits of going all in and taking risks.


The second verse is a call to action for those who are just starting out in life. Each step taken is one that should be rooted in the dreams that are harbored within oneself, as it is the only way to ensure a fulfilling life. The heart of the art of living, as the lyrics state, is to take those dreams deep inside and translate them into something tangible for everyone to see. That is the only way to stop complaining and truly take advantage of the gift of life. In essence, the lyrics are a reminder that the clock is ticking, and we should make the most of our time before it's too late.
