S2 Ep2: Shoutout to MayLynn

If you have questions, want to say hello, or share a song let me know!

Host: RareRuby - Instagram (Podcast) <> Instagram (Social) <> Twitter <> Facebook <> iTunes <> Rare's Spares

First Thank You, God.

Know I do not own the rights to the music unless I state I (RareRubyC or Ruby C) produced or wrote it, such as Ruby by Ruby C., Been There Done That (BTDT), Sorrow, I Don't Fear You.

Hey you guys, I just wanted to give a quick shout out to MayLynn who I met over there at QuikTrip this evening. You are amazing! Thank you for helping me out, you didn't have to yet you have a wonderful heart. There are very few people left in this world that are just like you, very young with a good heart, been through so much, working a lot of jobs, still trying to help people when you're adopting three kids for the family. Let me just say, I was just like you at a very young age.

Reach out to me, I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure you get that job, that you get all the assistance you need to make sure that you are helping those kids and that you are training them, raising them in the right way that they should go. I hope that they are raised with your heart and with your character, with your morals, with your strength, with your patience and with your wisdom.

Patience, Strength, and Wisdom. Those are the main three things that I usually pray to God for and that my son has. Because you need patience to get through any situation, that devil will keep poking you. You need strength to get through everything because pain, fear, anxiety, panic, even love. You need it to get out that bed, to just make one more step, to just not say a word to just not make a move, to not hit someone, you just need strength to just be calm. You need wisdom to know when to go to God, to know when to shut up, to know when to speak your mind, to know when to be you, to know when to be fake, and to know when to let the people who are being fake gossip and let them do it. Just isolate and be yourself.

Again, it may be strange to pray for those three things every day, but please do, because the more you ask for three things, the stronger you are, the more patience you have with other people, and the wiser you become. It may not be the knowledge you gain for economics in the world, national, but it will be the wisdom that you gain, trust me, for dealing with human beings. humans are the most ignorant beings in the world, we really are. We're also the most hypocritical beings in the world.

I just want to say, what you're doing is amazing, keep doing it, please!

This is a thank you to a beautiful soul here in Northeast San Antonio.

The following topics may stem from the song: Music, Family, Motivation, Wisdom, God, Courage, Sacrificing, Humility, Growth, Love, MayLynn, BTDT, Patience, Rare, Life, Strength, Anchor, Daily Struggles, Peace, and of course me!

First I'd like to say Thank You God for the Guilty Verdict as it was clear the hatred/supremacy caused the death of Mr. Floyd and many others in our country. I look forward to the true change in the inhumane treatment of all humans across our country because of supremacy ideals it is common sense for equality. Second, Mother's Day I pray was great for all of you! I got to have a full week with my Baby Boy since being back from Minnesota thus I was truly blessed. I will say I learned so much more in the 1 1/2 week I was there than I have in the last two years regarding my health and so much do and don'ts. Third, the VERZUZ Battle had me the last two times but the Isleys - I am not falling for love right now thus I'm gonna speak on the girls.

We still need prayers for my son, my mother as we continue to heal, thank you all.

In a daze, your love's so amazing (amaze)
It's not a phase I want you to stay with me (stay with me)
By my side, I swallow my pride (my pride)
Your love is so sweet
It knocks me right off of my feet
Can't explain why your love, it makes me weak.

Vain: All of them.

Understanding: You don't even know me
You just wanna do what you wanna do
That's not the way it should be no
You should listen to me, boy
I tried so very hard to make you understand
But the chooses you make
Baby, they're all demands oh
I tried so very hard
To keep our love alive
But you don't wanna meet me halfway
Then the understanding dies

Ep. 40: How Many Lashes Kirk Franklin & Yolanda Adams

https://anchor.fm/sparerare/message - If you have questions, want to say hello, or want to be a guest or share a song let me know!!

Host: RareRuby - https://www.instagram.com/sparerarepodcast/ <> https://www.instagram.com/rareruby86/

This episode is a bit deep as it reflects on Palm Sunday and the meaning of what Christ gave for us all - not for some - for everyone all sinners.
The episode is also a bit personal as there are tons that sacrifice daily with great determination unaware of their true fate because of their faith and the goals that motivate them.

GOD, thank you for all, thank you for sacrificing your son to give us a home to return to after leaving the struggles of earth. My opinion is that you reflect on the week that Christ (Holy Week) knowingly prophesized, saved the sick, resurrected the dead, and still gave his life to those that believed and the non-believers. The story of Jesus as so many stories in the bible shows us exactly why it says to treat others the way you want to be treated (Matthew 7:12) and it also shows you just how cold the human soul can go. How his death began with human persecution for being different than what was already in place.

I will also give a reference to George Floyd and the Derek Chauvin case (9:29), as how can I not when you see similar examples of how Christ our Redeemer was treated every day.

Prayers are still requested for my son, my mother, and me as we continue to heal, thank you all.

Which songs did you choose and Why?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyzYIha2KNU - Reason I Live by Big Dismal  - Exactly what the title says my motivation is my son and heaven.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMsvwwp6S7Q - Count On Me by Bruno Mars - My son is singing this and it warms my heart. Won't be in the audio but consider Jesus your best friend and it is in Ep. 39.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPBvq7yewIk - Down Below by Roddy Rich - I'm not rich but it is almost a "you can do it"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Quuz61gSP-w - How Many Lashes by Kirk Franklin & Yolanda Adams - Great questions and reflections

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auSAVJNlb80 - The Passion by Lauryn Hill - I love her and yes Love for another human being should have been enough.

Please specify the lyrics that motivated you:

Down Below: All of them.

How Many Lashes: All of them.

Count On Me: All of them.

The Passion: All of them.

Reason I Live: All of them.

I Love You, Lord, Isn't She Lovely? Miss JB

https://anchor.fm/sparerare/message - If you have questions, want to say hello, or want to be a guest or share a song let me know!!

Host: RareRuby - https://www.instagram.com/sparerarepodcast/ <> https://www.instagram.com/rareruby86/ 

First, apologies for the late release, and know this episode may be a bit long. This week marks round four as my mom heals from C-19. GOD. Prayers were also requested for my son and I as well this past week, thank you all.

Why did you choose the songs?  

Yes, I am aware Stevie is referring to the birth of Aisha, however, sometimes there are stewards of the community or the church, grandparents, family, even the births of our sons where we may feel that same joy of new birth or acceptance, maybe approval. Speaking to this person...is the emotion you’d feel when you see that person you would be ashamed to tell you’ve sinned but tears are just flowing because they have always been your comfort. I talk about my “hood” upbringing a lot. Don’t get me wrong yes I had my choir director from the church as my elementary school principal but I also witnessed so many drug deals, deaths, I said that hell nah my son doesn’t need to fight it. She and several others used to help my Grandma get us to church, to school events, church competitions, etc. even when she passed we were scattered all across town, they still tried their best to keep us together. When I came back here I went back to her because I needed the connection but also because I knew I may not make it through without losing myself. I saw her name on my phone a few days back, I cried because no matter the amount of good I do I will always feel guilt because I have yet to personally hear from God that my heart is in the right direction. I didn’t have the strength to speak on! I was in tears receiving the call I couldn’t make. Not that there’s beef it’s more to do so with I have disappointed them. One more mentor, grandma that was of no relation by human DNA that loved me and helped me when I was a child. My childhood was NOT easy, not many are. They had their own children, their own lives. Trust, I have tons of people that question why am I a daughter, a sister, but not them, never her. Also, the death of my cousin Ieshia C. has always stung.

Thanks to A Turtle's Tale for putting Bruno's song in my ear. God put the others!!

Which songs did you choose?

Pressing on the upward way
Always guide me, Lord, I pray
Undeserving, and stubbornly
Never fail to love me still

(Feels so good to know)
Ooh, that I'm never alone
See, sometimes I'm lonely but never alone, no
For the Bible tells, for the Bible tells
For the Bible, oh Lord, it tells me so (tells me so), so glad (tells me so)

See I know that he loves me, yeah (tells me so)

San Antonio, It's Cold Outside!

https://anchor.fm/sparerare/message - If you have questions, want to say hello, or want to be a guest or share a song let me know!!

Host: RareRuby - https://www.instagram.com/rareruby86/

Why did you choose the songs?

This week marks round two as my mom heals from C-19. She has good oxygen numbers and I thank all prayers and well wishes and of course GOD. Prayers are requested and are being received 24/7. Cold weather turns me into a bear or better yet since I am a Cancer (Astrology) crab. Thus, I smoked three types of meat, wash all bedding and warm clothing, try to execute as many tasks as possible, and make as many excuses to stay in and off the roads. NOT LAZY just not in the rain, sleet, ice, snow, etc. I have four reasons why.

Now, who doesn't love the classic, Baby, It's Cold Outside?

Red Hot Chilli Peppers' Snow is more about drugs than the weather but I love the band.

What mood were you in before/after the song? Lit after video chatting with Jr., eating, and watching Reno 911.

Which songs did you choose?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3HfTpaSFuc - Baby, It's Cold Outside by Barry Manilow

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bztE5IbQOo - Cold Sweat by James Brown & The Famous Flames

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0vM9iINl28 - Snow by RHCP

Would you be willing to Karaoke or sing-a-long? Silent

Please specify the lyrics that motivated you:

Cold:

I really can't stay
Baby don't hold on
Ah, but it's cold outside

Well I must say
This couch is very comfortable
It's not a couch, puddin' pop
It's a love seat

Oh, how you talk?
Oh Barry, I simply must go

But baby it's cold outside
The answer is, "No"
But baby it's cold outside
The welcome has been
How lucky that you dropped in

So nice and warm
Look out the window
At that storm

My sister will be suspicious
Gosh your lips look good delicious
My brother will be there at the door
Like waves upon a tropical storm
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
Gosh your lips are delicious

Well maybe just a cigarette more
Never said your blues will be for
I've got to get home
But baby you'll freeze out there

Honestly, just listening to Cold Sweat is a mover for me.

Snow (Hey Oh):

Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow

Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there's nowhere to go

In between the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it's so white as snow

Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed
And there's nowhere to go

I said hey, hey, yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, tell my love now
Hey, hey, yeah, oh yeah, tell my love now

No I Did Not Watch The Super Bowl, Who Won?

Host: RareRuby - https://www.instagram.com/rareruby86/

Why did you choose the songs?

This week my mother received the vaccine (1st dose) and about five days later she was coughing blood and rushed to the ER triage. Needless to say, it is C-19. Prayers are requested and are being received 24/7.

Missy's Cool Off has the beat and the lyrics to keep me focused and motivated regardless of the stairs, cold weather, heavy whatever, Do It and Cool Off when I get angry.

Linkin's Numb is what I have been stating since I was a teenager since they were my band during adolescence. Stop putting me down because you can't be me, I don't have a fear of being dependable, per my childhood PTSD dependability=security=love. Hell, I love and care for my child (as a mother), manage my income/debt sources, my health treatments, my mother's health, etc, and did it for another household with min help for two years and subpar for three.

Billie's PFH, says a ton it really does. There is so much falling upon us each day, be strong the blessings fall.

What mood were you in before/after the song? Upbeat after watching IASIP.

Do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Cool off
Cool off, cool off, cool off
Cool off, cool off, cool off
Cool off, cool off, cool off (Stop)

Play this again, I'm finna win
Finna go off, finna go in

I'll make it drop, yeah, I'll make it bend
Cool off 'til I feel the wind
Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Way too high to get over me
Way too low to get under my skin
All the DJ's gon' hit that spin
I'ma play this again and again and again (Stop)

Numb:

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes

Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware

I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you

Pennies From Heaven:

If you want the things you love
You must have showers
So when you hear it thunder
Don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven
For you and me

Nobody knows how cruel fate can be
How close together love and hate can be
Goodbye, just clean the slate for me
That's life I guess

BTS:
[Verse 1: Jimin, Jungkook]
I’m opening my eyes in the darkness
When my heartbeat sounds unfamiliar
I’m looking at you in the mirror
The fear-ridden eyes, asking the question

[Verse 2: Suga]
Loving myself might be harder
Than loving someone else
Let’s admit it
The standards I made are more strict for myself
The thick tree rings in your life
It’s part of you, it’s you
Now let’s forgive ourselves

[Chorus: Jin, Jungkook]
You’ve shown me I have reasons
I should love myself (oh)
I’ll answer with my breath, my path

Niko:
Eighty degrees and the sun ain't even out
We got a spot a couple miles out of town
When that moon comes up, you know what's goin' down
We got them folding chairs leanin' way back
No other plans other than relax
We ain't worried about tomorrow from where we at

We just tryna catch a good time
Even if it takes all night
Pass that bottle 'round the campfire

KMS:
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

Betty:
Tonight is the night
That you make me a woman
You said you'll be gentle with me
I hope you will

Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
Oh, I'll never forget tonight
No, no, I'll never forget tonight
When you make me feel real

Why did you choose the song?

With the events at the capitol and my own life's events, I can't forget that I am not different than you going through similar issues.

What mood were you in before/after the song?

Disappointed in myself for the late pushout and happy that I was overcoming my struggles despite still having many.

Would you be willing to Karaoke or sing-a-long?

I am not silent on this episode as you will notice in the intro (loud) and in some of the recordings I am forgetting not to sing-a-long.

Please specify the lyrics that motivated you:

All of them.

Holy G:
It was early one morning
Just about the break of day
When Jesus came & he touched me
And then he washed my tears away
I started running, I started shouting
There was no room for doubting
Oh I (Choir) I got nothing but the Holy Ghost

Andra:
You're broken down and tired
Of living life on a merry go round
And you can't find the fighter
But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out
And move mountains
We gonna walk it out
And move mountains

And I'll rise up
I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up
I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again
And I'll rise up
High like the waves
I'll rise up
In spite of the ache
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again

WSO:
We'll walk hand in hand, someday
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome, someday
We shall live in peace
We shall live in peace
We shall live in peace, someday
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome, someday
We are not afraid
We are not afraid
We are not afraid, today

Here's Macklemore's  White Privilege II Pulled into the parking lot, parked it Zipped up my parka, joined the procession of marchers In my head like, "is this awkward? Should I even be here marching?" Thinking if they can't, how can I breathe? Thinking that they chant, what do I sing? I want to take a stance 'cause we are not free And then I thought about it, we are not "we" Am I in the outside looking in, or am I in the inside looking out? Is it my place to give my two cents? Or should I stand on the side and shut my mouth? "No justice, no peace, " okay, I'm saying that They're chanting out, "black lives matter, " but I don't say it back Is it okay for me to say? I don't know, so I watch and stand In front of a line of police that look the same as me Only separated by a badge, a baton, a can of Mace, a mask A shield, a gun with gloves and hands that gives an alibi In case somebody dies behind a bullet that flies out of the nine Takes another child's life on sight Blood in the streets, no justice, no peace No racist beliefs, no rest 'til we're free There's blood in the streets, no justice, no peace No racist beliefs, no rest 'til we're free Damn, a lot of opinions, a lot of confusion, a lot of resentment Some of us scared, some of us defensive And most of us aren't even paying attention It seems like we're more concerned with being called racist Then we actually are with racism We want to dress like, walk like, talk like, dance like, yet we just stand by We take all we want from black culture, but will we show up for black lives? We want to dress like, walk like, talk like, dance like, yet we just stand by We take all we want from black culture, but will we show up for black lives?

Love Honesty: Superwoman - Karyn White, Cause I Love You - Lenny Williams

https://anchor.fm/sparerare/message - If you have questions, want to say hello, or want to be a guest or share a song let me know!!

Guest: RareRuby - https://www.instagram.com/rareruby86/

Which songs did you choose?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4C4NiVKrXk&ab_channel=KarynWhite - Superwoman by Karyn White

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_Zn7Cqe6ZM&ab_channel=LennyWilliams-Topic - Cause I Love You by Lenny Williams

Why did you choose the song?

I chose Superwoman by Karyn White first because well because couples have days, weeks, months, sometimes years where they take each other for granted.

I chose Lenny's Cause I love you... I will always consider this healing.

What mood were you in before/after the song?

The lyrics of Superwoman speak from the heart.

Would you be willing to Karaoke or sing-a-long?

Sorry, but you will not have to put up with me on this one.

Please specify the lyrics that motivated you:

Superwoman:

I fought my way through the rush hour
Trying to make it home just for you
I want to make sure that your dinner will be waiting for you
But when you get there you just tell me
You're not hungry at all
You said you'd rather read the paper
And you don't want to talk

You'd like to think I'm just crazy
When I say that you've changed
I'm convinced I know the problem
You don't love me the same
You're just going through the motions
And you're not being fair
I've got my pride
I will not cry
Still I can't help but care

Ooh baby, look into the corners of your mind
I'll always be there for you
Through good and bad times
But I can't be that Superwoman that you want me to be
I'll give my love, oh lasting love
If you'll return love to me

I'm not your Superwoman
I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down
And think that everything's okay
Boy, I am only human
This girl needs more than occasional hugs
As a token of love from you to me

Cause I Love You:

you know I love you
No matter what you do
And I hope you understand me
Every word I say is true
?Cause I love you

Baby, I?m thinkin? of you
Tryin? to be more of a man for you
And I don?t have much riches
But we gonna see it through
?Cause I love you

Guest: RareRuby - https://www.instagram.com/rareruby86/ 

Which songs did you choose? 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1yIBpEVPvM&ab_channel=TheRoots-Topic - The Roots, Common, Ingrid Michaelson

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccHrgxsO9z0&ab_channel=B.B.King-Topic -  Why I Sing The Blues by B.B. King 

Why did you choose the song? Inspired by listening to the old school music, tire of fake people, lovin the advice I'm getting. Plus realized why I take things personally no one truly knows me. hence why my raps get a little deep. But if you were a jerk don't belittle the transaction, I'll forgive the request for forgiveness but do not ask me to not see you. I can be a bitch as well call me out get it done with.  

What mood were you in before/after the song? Did not feel like driving and just once again felt misunderstood or like well my truths would never be told to my son nor anyone really because no one listens. thus brought me back to these classics.  

Would you be willing to Karaoke or sing-a-long? Sorry, but you will not have to put up with me on this one.

We are all sinners struggling to be free as winners. Thus, after speaking with friends, family and at times random people I meet during my day-to-day activities I bring a song maybe three with me to share with you. Everyone has a story to tell, sometimes a song tells it best. We will reflect and through the song connect!
