Tirar Bilhete

Plutónio's song 'Tirar Bilhete' delves into the gritty realities of street life, ambition, and the constant hustle to make money. The phrase 'tirar bilhete,' which translates to 'take a ticket,' serves as a metaphor for the various stages and challenges one faces in the pursuit of success. The repetition of this phrase underscores the cyclical nature of these struggles and the relentless drive to keep moving forward, despite the obstacles that arise.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the artist's life, from making money ('fazer uma guita') to dealing with law enforcement ('bofias à toa querem pedir livrete'). Plutónio touches on themes of survival and resilience, highlighting the need to stay vigilant and prepared ('se tá na honda vou meter capacete'). The mention of 'colete' (bulletproof vest) and the contemplation of mortality ('se eu morrer hoje sei que fico para sempre') add a layer of vulnerability and the ever-present danger in his environment.

Plutónio also critiques societal and systemic issues, such as the failure of the justice system ('sistema falha mas é sempre inocente') and the pervasive corruption ('alguns aqui são agentes'). He reflects on the moral complexities and contradictions within his community, referencing religious imagery ('Adão e Eva não mataram a serpente') to illustrate the inherent flaws and sins that plague humanity. The song's narrative is a blend of personal experiences and broader social commentary, making it a powerful reflection on the struggles and aspirations of those living in similar circumstances.

The artist's journey from patience in his youth ('quando era puto tive que ser paciente') to achieving a semblance of success ('Mercedes novo tipo o do presidente') is a testament to his perseverance. Despite the challenges, Plutónio remains focused on his goals, with a clear understanding that nothing comes easy ('nada vem de repente'). The song's raw and honest portrayal of life in the streets, combined with its catchy hook, makes 'Tirar Bilhete' a compelling anthem for anyone navigating the complexities of ambition and survival in a harsh world.
