Sweet Stem Farm's rapping lamb Japhy has a message for all you meat lovers: 'Eat local, humane and eat cheek-to-cheek, fool!'

Lyrics:

I'm the definition of half-sheep half-thug
Ask the geese, Sweet Stem that's what's up.

Get it right dawg, we stackin' hay bales
And these ladies love my stubby lil' tail.

Rollin' on my John Deere, up the throttle
You pigs roll in mud, I pop bottles.

Runnin' this farm since the day of our birth
My flock and I eat straight from the earth.

Free range for life, I poop, eat and take naps
And when I'm done the cows eat my scraps.

The name's Japhy yo, I'm a part of the fam
Forget the mint Jelly son, try some ham.

Barley and hay it don't get no better
So cool I was born wearing a sweater.

I'm your favorite bellwether,
Sweet Stem Farm baby, we better.

We eat, sustainably. We are, happy meat.
We are Sweet Stem Farm, and we eat cheek-to-cheek.
We eat, sustainably. We are, happy meat.
We are Sweet Stem Farm, and we eat cheek-to-cheek.

Lemme tell you bout a thing called 'Cheek-to-Cheek'
And please don't be shocked by a lamb that speaks.

If you've only tried porkchops here's a correction
There's more to pork than just the midsection.

You say you're a foodie, but man you fakin'
I opened up your fridge and all I saw was bacon.

Ain't you ever heard of shoulders, hocks and hams?
I eat every cut and I'm a fifty-pound lamb.

No matter what cut make sure it's humane
Anything less is insane in the membrane.

Straw to dig, water to cool, room to run
Lots of care keeps pigs having fun.

Please try to eat from the snout to the butt
It's not sustainable to only eat center-cut.

Keep it local when you cook,
On the farm, Japhy yo, now sing the hook.

We eat, sustainably. We are, happy meat.
We are Sweet Stem Farm, and we eat cheek-to-cheek.
We eat, sustainably. We are, happy meat.
We are Sweet Stem Farm, and we eat cheek-to-cheek.

Now put your hooves in the air if you eat locally
When I can't find my mom I respond vocally.

Sheep like chillin' in meadows and hummocks
Need enough grass just to fill our stomachs.

Electrified nets keep out predators
Small ruminants for life! Take a hike competitors.

You wanna help the planet? Eat less but better meat
High-touch, humane animals can't be beat.

Be sure to eat cheek-to-cheek
Sorry chicken that includes drumstick-to-beak.

And if you wanna have good food karma
Do the right thing and support your local farmer.

You know you are what you eat,
Why not eat happy meat?

On this farm our sheep have names
My lovable disposition is likely to blame.

We eat, sustainably. We are, happy meat.
We are Sweet Stem Farm, and we eat cheek-to-cheek.
We eat, sustainably. We are, happy meat.
We are Sweet Stem Farm, and we eat cheek-to-cheek.
