#circa91

Ruby Ibarra just dropped her long awaited album since her mixtape Lost in Translation back in 2011. The shit is fire.

‘I keep lookin in the mirror like/ lookin in the mirror like/ why do I just hate myself? I keep lookin in the mirror like/ lookin in the mirror like/ I can’t even find myself’ - @rubyibarra #moleskinemonday #hiphop #rubyibarra #circa91 (at Cogswell College)

Feeling homesick as we go, mama’s never really home 'Cause she workin' all alone, livin' broke, we need a loan Papa threatened mamas life, papa left with no goodbye Promised to myself inside no man will ever make me cry Now I’m thinking that I’m grown, all I wanna do is roam Runnin' far away from home, in a crowd I feel alone Mama she be workin' late, lines are showing on her face Too much pressure on her plate, I’m too selfish to relate Auntie said stay in your home, might get darker 'cause you prone Look into the mirror, oh, Filipino blood and bones Questioning my skin and tone like I should I be embarrassed though Whiter skin is seen as gold, this is what we’re always told Mama said to learn their way, every day I emulate ‘Til identity erased, overcome by inner hate Teacher said to hide my tongue, they don’t understand me none Hold my breath these foreign lungs too powerful they like a gun! I’m correcting mamas words, I’m embarrassed when she slurs What makes me better than her? This language wasn’t her first Ruby can you get a grip? Find a balance, you might slip Mom and Donna need you quick, stop thinkin’ that you the shit 7,000 miles from home, but a million more to go Gotta make it on my own, I can feel I’m gettin’ close

7 year reunion of @rubyibarra and @luvjonezmusic from the ‘Lost In Translation’ mixtape era that started her incredible climb as an icon for the Filipino and all hip hop communities! . This is crazy but I had the honor of producing tracks on Ruby Ibarra’s first project in 2012 at the beginning of her music career. We only knew each other online, met up briefly in NYC when we were both in town and today is the first time we’ve seen each other since then. Proud of everything she is doing to spread her music around the globe and rock with the @beatrockmusic fam. . If you haven’t heard #Circa91, do yourself a favor and glue your head to a speaker and listen to a legend at work! . 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 (at Asian Pacific American Network of Oregon - APANO) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3OIqjihvFH/?igshid=bz50nof7oiyf
