It means that you either try to make your life better, and in the movie Andy was innocent of the crimes he was convicted of. He wanted his freedom. Get busy dying is when you give up on living, because you have nothing left to live for.

Actually Andy Dufrene said it first, towards the end Ellis
Boyd "Red" Reddington said it after Andy had escaped.
It means accept what you are dealt or hang it up!

i would intepret it as....
decide what you want to do with your life... concentrate on living and making something of yourself or get busy dying, if you have no hope in life and its prospects then there is only one way out

If your not living your life to its fullest, then what is the point of living at all. You might as well be dieing.

Put effort into your life or you will quickly be in a position where your life is over.

It means if you choose to live then live. If you don't feel like living, curl up and die. Basically, don't give up just because your in this hell hole.
