GATESVILLE, Texas – The woman infamous for spitting bars about San Antonio has spent the last decade behind them, and soon she’ll be released on parole.
Some have embraced the untitled, polarizing track as San Antonio’s unofficial anthem.
Its catchy “where we roll, where we roll” lyric remains plastered across social media platforms.
The woman behind the song, Phyllis Sentiva Ochoa, is just as provocative.
Viral Song, Troubled Past
The hook is hard to escape. While the profanity-laced earworm dedicated to the Alamo City came out over a decade ago, the chorus has blown up on social media over the last few months.
The song has been played at Spurs games, used as the soundtrack to misfortune on San Antonio’s streets, and defines what Ochoa describes as the worst part of her life.
Ochoa was born in California but moved to San Antonio’s West Side to live with her grandparents in her early teens, after her parents were sent to prison.
In her late teens, Ochoa had a son. She said she then entered a five-year-long relationship that turned violent.
“But when I had finally had enough is when he kicked me in the face,” said Ochoa. “I ran away that night and I got my son and I ran away and I took my son to go live with his dad. And that night, I had nowhere to go, so I slept in a park.”
Ochoa, who had worked in fast-food restaurants, said she reached out to a friend who encouraged her to become a stripper.
“When I went to go dance at the strip clubs, I’m not even gonna lie to you, like in that moment when I was dancing, I felt pretty,” Ochoa recalled. “I felt like seen maybe, and it’s awful to say because it’s like, you know, how could you put yourself out there like that and feel beautiful when you’re like half-naked.”
Ochoa said she relied on money from stripping and government assistance to survive. She says the lifestyle led to drinking, hard drugs, then prostitution.
“I hated it, but I didn’t know what else to do,” said Ochoa.
From Spitting Bars to Behind Bars
In 2015, Bexar County court records show Ochoa’s rap sheet began to grow, with six charges filed against her—most of them felonies.
She was convicted in 2016 on charges of aggravated robbery and human trafficking of a minor. Ochoa was sentenced to 16 years in prison, records show.

“I want to take accountability and responsibility. I have a son, and I owe him that much, and to my victims as well,” she said.
Ochoa admitted to stealing from clients while she was a prostitute. She also claims the victim of the aggravated robbery charge is a man who hired her for sex but did not pay her.
“He came over and my friends beat him up or whatever, and we robbed him,” she said.
As for the human trafficking charge, she said that stemmed from her introducing other women into prostitution.
“I would always flash my money and things like that so they knew, and they were like, ‘dang girl, I wanna make money like that, too,’” Ochoa said. “I thought that I was helping and that’s where my mind was messed up.”
Ochoa said she did not know one of the girls she pulled into prostitution was 16.
“Instead of me getting her real help and being a good example, I showed her what was shown to me,” said Ochoa. “I believe like me sitting here in prison, it’s fair, and it’s just for the things that I’ve done.”

Ochoa is now owning all chapters of her story, even the song she says embarrasses
