KSAT Investigates<\/a> traveled to the Hilltop Unit in Gatesville, Texas, for an interview with Phyllis Sentiva Ochoa, who is incarcerated on charges of aggravated robbery and human trafficking of a minor. <\/p>\n

Ochoa discussed the viral song, the decisions that led to her imprisonment and her plans once she will be released on parole later this year.<\/p>\n

Here is the transcript of Ochoa\u2019s conversation with KSAT Investigates\u2019 Daniela Ibarra about how the song\u2019s origins. This has been edited for length and clarity. <\/p>\n

KSAT: You came out with a song about San Antonio. What inspired that song? <\/p>\n

Phyllis Ochoa: OK, so it\u2019s going to be funny because a lot of people don\u2019t know this, which is crazy. But when I committed that robbery, and I went on the run, I went to Arizona to go stay with my mom. <\/p>\n

At this point in time, my mother was out of prison. She was staying in Arizona with her wife, and I went to go to stay with her. When I went to Arizona, I\u2019m like, \u2018Phoenix, Arizona.\u2019 Like, not cool. Like, what is going on here? I did not like it. I was like missing my city. I was missing San Antonio. I was, like, \u2018I miss the River Walk. I miss people. I just miss the food. I miss that the streetlights, because, you know, San Antonio\u2019s got those cool little, yellow old-school western lights. Phoenix, Arizona … I\u2019m just, like, I miss my city. <\/p>\n

Music has always been, like, an expression for me, something that I would do that would kind of express, like, how I\u2019m feeling, my emotions and stuff that. So, when I was in the room, I was so bored and I was like, \u2018I miss my city,\u2019 so I\u2019m about to drop a hook about San Antonio, and let everybody know that I love them. <\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t know that it was going to be a big thing. I just thought I was just doing something, doing something silly and it just like went viral the very next day. And I\u2019m, like, \u2018Oh.\u2019 But the reason behind the song was I was on the run, and I was missing the city because I wasn\u2019t there when I did the song. I was in Arizona. <\/p>\n

KSAT: The video was shot in Arizona?<\/p>\n

Phyllis Ochoa: Yes. The video was shot in Arizona, and that\u2019s what inspired it. [It] was because I missed it and I already was out there for about 30 days on the road.<\/p>\n

KSAT: There\u2019s some debate. Is it \u201cwhere we roll\u201d or \u201cwhere we roam\u201d?<\/p>\n

Phyllis Ochoa: “Where we roll.” <\/p>\n

KSAT: \u201cRoll.\u201d OK. <\/p>\n

Phyllis Ochoa: \u201cWhere we roll. Yeah.\u201d <\/p>\n
