And your mother's telling stories 'bout you on the tee-ball squad
You taught me 'bout your past, thinking your hereafter was me
And y'all were tossing me the car keys, "fuck the patriarchy"
Key concatenation on the footing, nosotros were always skipping town
And I was thinking on the drive down, whatever time now
