The repeated references to firearms and the inevitability of violence ('se não tu vai pro saco' - if you don't, you'll end up in a bag) emphasize the high stakes and the constant threat of death. The song ends on a grim note, with the gang's ruthless decision to kill the hostage, reflecting the harsh and unforgiving nature of their existence.
