The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Land of Milk and Honey

sugar is sweet as sweet as honey
 now that I'm broke & got no money
 the moral of this story is to stay positive young G
 living in the land on milk & honey

 time has elapsed & it has for no reason
 some say there's a change in the way of the season
 lift your head high up in the sky be brave today
 living in the land of the free & the home of the brave

 you got to come up with a good rap in time
 down on your luck to your last thin dime
 the word on the street is you got to stay positive
 love your neighbor and choose to give

 someday your pay day will come
 like a lost soul being out on the run
 hear the bullets blast outside in the hood
 homeboys out for no good

 what we do today will be echoed in eternity
 keep your head on straight and head for the main gate
 the rich will always blame the poor
 still nobody has a voice anymore

 Choose to be the best young G you can be
 living in the land of milk & honey
 one day when your full grown you will see
 the moral of the story is love making sweet history
