Do or Die Lyrics – FattMack, TopOppGen

Do or Die Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: FattMack]
He’s basically hyping himself up, shouting out his crew, and getting in the zone before the song starts, giving it an aggressive, confident energy.

[Chorus: FattMack]
He’s talking about running into a girl he’s close with at a fancy party and how things between them get physical fast. He also points out that these parties are strict, with phones taken at the door for privacy. He keeps a weapon on him because he never knows what could happen. Even though he’s surrounded by chaos, he wants to slow down and talk things out with her over dinner. He mentions feeling like he faced dark moments in L.A., almost like he came across something dangerous or tempting that messed with his head. When he locks eyes with her, everything around him fades, and she becomes the only person that feels real. The last line shows his mindset that in tough situations people either talk big or actually act, and he expects others to step up instead of making empty threats.

[Verse 1: FattMack]
He tries to check on someone at night even though his own situation is messy and stressful. He talks about always being armed and ready for trouble because that’s the life he’s used to. Random people keep trying to reach him, but he’s not interested, staying focused and guarded. He’s high but still trying to stay alert so nothing catches him off guard. He brags about spending money freely, even joking that he spent what someone else would use for rent on clothes and drinks. He reflects on how far he’s come by comparing his expensive designer boots to the cheaper footwear he used to borrow from his brother. The whole section blends reckless spending, dangerous habits, and the feeling of living fast without slowing down.

[Chorus: FattMack]
He talks again about meeting the girl at the party and how their chemistry kicks in immediately. He brings up the no-recording rule to show how exclusive and wild the place is. Even with all that going on, he wants to sit down and talk things through with her, showing a softer side underneath the partying and chaos. He brings up the dark experience in L.A. again, hinting that fame and fast living can mess with your mind. When he looks at her, nothing else matters. The last part is him saying that life forces people to either take action or just talk big, and he’s calling out anyone who doesn’t follow through.

[Verse 2: TopOppGen]
He’s dealing with a girl who’s using heavy drügs, and it puts him in a scary position because he’s already dealing with his own substance issues. Even when they argue or drift apart, he still feels connected to her, but he hopes she’s being real and not hiding her true feelings. He mentions missing a video shoot in New York because he was too messed up on pills, showing how his lifestyle gets in the way of his goals. Their relationship is intense, both physically and emotionally, sometimes crossing into unhealthy territory. His family can tell when he’s too high, and his speech gives it away. He talks about regretting certain parts of his past and trying to erase painful memories, even if it’s impossible. Sometimes he gets angry and says things he doesn’t fully mean, because deep down he knows she isn’t someone who belongs to the streets. He believes his past shaped him, so he doesn’t regret most of what he’s done. Love doesn’t come easy for him, and he struggles to give it freely. He ends by mentioning his twin dealing with drug tests while using lean, hoping they don’t get caught, showing how drug habits affect everyone around him.

[Chorus: FattMack]
He repeats the moment of running into the girl at the fancy party and how their attraction sparks quickly. He reminds you that he always keeps protection on him because danger can pop up anywhere. With phones taken at the door, it shows how private and wild the event is. Despite all the partying, he still wants a real conversation with her about what they’re going through. He reflects again on facing dark experiences in L.A. that pushed his mind into rough places. When he looks into her eyes, he feels locked in, like she’s the only person who matters. The final line repeats the idea that in life-or-death moments, people either talk tough or actually act, and he’s calling out anyone who just talks without backing it up.
