Pague Pra Entrar e Reze Pra Sair

The song 'Pague Pra Entrar e Reze Pra Sair' by Alibi paints a grim picture of criminal life and its inevitable consequences. The lyrics tell the story of two individuals who are deeply entrenched in a life of crime, using their Opala '71, a classic car, as a symbol of their activities. The phrase 'mete os ferros põe a onda pra render' suggests they are armed and ready to commit crimes, with the chilling detail that there's a body in the trunk, indicating the severity of their actions.

The song continues to describe their nightly escapades, looking for women to join them in their car, only to become victims of their violent tendencies. The repetition of 'Pague pra entrar e reze pra sair' serves as a warning that entering their world is a dangerous gamble, where one must pray to make it out alive. This refrain emphasizes the perilous nature of associating with such individuals and the high price of involvement in their world.

As the narrative unfolds, the lyrics delve into the psychological aspect of the criminals, describing a 'mente doentia' (sick mind) and 'ideia suicida' (suicidal idea), suggesting a deep-seated pathology driving their actions. The song culminates in a scene where the criminals are surrounded and face the consequences of their actions, with the police closing in. The final verses serve as a reminder of the karmic principle 'aqui se faz aqui se paga' (what goes around comes around), reinforcing the idea that their violent lifestyle will ultimately lead to their downfall.
