Right. Pharrell Williams in this month's Q Magazine:

Q: Why is the new NERD album called Fly or Die?
Our hearts went out to the soldiers in Iraq who never had a chance to spend Christmas with their families. They might not agree with what they have to do. They didn't have a choice. Thing is, if a helicopter is crashing then you can't even eject outta that shit. The blades are gonna chop you to pieces. That's fucked up. Unless you can eject your ass out sideways. But fly or die is a life motto. You gotta take the risk and achieve something or... die.

Q: You're not on drugs, are you?
Never have, never will.
