Spring 2021 I fell head over heels in love with a latin drag queen named Nylie Lopez. A lot of drama ensued between her and myself, and then all her latin drag crew and friends and me. Eventually she burned me to the entire Drag and Trans community in Dallas and I would be at drag shows all alone, nobody talking to me, and some ppl giving me dirty looks or openly harassing me. I found myself wishing I could be at a ska-punk show with friends, dancing and having a good time with people who liked me and accepted me rocking out to bands and music I liked. Performing onstage with bands I liked, doing what I do best. And this song was born
lyrics
It was a typical summer night down on the strip
I had mah hand on mah hip in a plaid skirt with a spliff
J/K I eat edibles and sometimes smoke
and I'm the scene bimbo the drag queens think I'm a joke
Called a Lyft to bounce out as I stood at the light
feelin' nice and mah hair looked right
a gang of Vespas pulled up said "Do you need a ride?"
so I cancelled my Lyft I got on and held tight so
Take me 4 a ride on yer Vespa
Take me on a date to the ska-punk show
Take me 4 a ride on yer Vespa
I wanna go go go so let's go go go
Let's go skankin' at the ska-punk show
I've been trapped in a latin drag telenovela
Mah Drag Queen summer turned into a nightmare
Drag Queen Cholas givin' me the business
I'm not a creep I'm just a bimbo can I get a witness?
I got burned by a cold-hearted Latin Bad Bitch
I'll always dream of kissing her Horchata lips
She's a cold Trans bitch on a power trip
And I'm the Sassy Trans bitch that she banned from the Strip so
Take me 4 a ride on yer Vespa
Take me on a date to the ska-punk show
Take me 4 a ride on yer Vespa
I wanna go go go so let's go go go
Let's go skankin' at the ska-punk show
Goin' back to mah roots, what's up old friends
Backstage at the gig, they said "welcome in"
Got mah Gretsch plugged in turned all the way up
Count it off, 2-3-4, it's time to fuckin' rock!
Pick it up!
