He says write me a song about the birds and the bees Centuries all summed up in a song and meant for listeners to sing along The Game is what I was born into So hollar it’s the life I loves These walls these ways aint my kingdom anymore 2x Brick and cement only 4 walls in sight all day all night When the phone rings will it be them coming to get him And he’s ready to grow willing to change stop postin’ on the streets and bang in a way that wont leave him dead or under one bed sheet The Game is what I was born into So hollar it’s the life I loves These walls these ways aint my kingdom anymore 2x (for those who cry inside) His voice echoes through the hall A choir of kings sings along… The Game is what I was born into So hollar it’s the life I loves These walls these ways aint my kingdom anymore 2x So how’s that honey for the birds and the bees Got down on my knees and that was all that came to me The Game is what I was born into So hollar it’s the life I loves These walls these ways aint my kingdom anymore 2x

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star How I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky. Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are! 2X When the blazing sun is gone, When there's nothing he shines on, Then you show your little light, Twinkle, twinkle, through the night. Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are! 2X Im a traveler in the dark Thanks you for your tiny spark. I could scarcely see where to go, If you did not twinkle so Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I wonder what you are In the dark blue sky so deep Through my curtains often peep For you never close your eyes ’Til the morning sun does rise Twinkle little star Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I wonder what you are Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky.

I was born a country girl Tried that city on to see if it would fit me Then I packed my bags and wondered free Like the world was my country home I.. prefer to be a gypsy Moving around from city to city You see there nitty gritty is just to much for me Oh lord wont you move me to the country … To the country I’ve had this vision since I was a little girl Layin in the middle of a meadow… full of wildflowers Just sippin on time I prefer to be a gypsy Moving around from city to city You see there nitty gritty is just to much for me Oh lord wont you move me to the country … country give me some of those trees and that sweet honey bee breeze the American dream I’m here on the city front lines doin’ time lovin it while I’m here Cause soon I’ll be goin home Starbound by angels to my home I prefer to be a gypsy Moving around from city to city You see there nitty gritty is just to much for me someday lord wont you move me to the country please… somewhere out there in those stars in the country move me god someday to the country

about

“Ready Chief”, a down-tempo release by Anahata Sound is step one to launch a new electro-pop moniker “HOPSCOTCH” in 2011. “I’m going to be focusing more on HOPSCOTCH, so I wanted to give fans another lil swim in my soft side before I high dive.” No doubt from her diverse first album “Scores of Silence” that Anahata has set herself up for a long career full of sonic exploration and growth. The vibrant new EP “Ready Chief” colors the ears with organic magic & stellar production. Mastered by John Greenham at Studio 1340 in San Francisco. Cover art by Leighton Kelly.

“Birds n Bees for a LIL G” a collaboration with Wazulu, is a dedication to her vision of freedom for the youth she has worked with in Oakland Juvy Halls leading meditation groups.

“Heavens Choir” is a collaboration of spoken word featuring Killah Priest (Wu- Tang), J. Human and Anahata, with jazz legend Benny Green on the piano. The Hip-Hop/ Spoken-word set to Greens piano & Anahata’s production, cooks up a melting pot of non cliché spiritual sonic display.

The EP is a dedication to the people of the First Nation. Given Anahata’s native ancestry and extensive travel of the US, she feels it is of up-most importance to honor the native peoples of America through song and dance.
