(chorus) No sleep `til - Brooklyn
Foot on the pedal - never ever false metal
Engine running hotter than a boiling kettle
My job`s ain`t a job - it`s a damn good time
City to city - I`m running my rhymes
On location - touring around the nation
Beastie Boys always on vacation
Itchy trigger finger but a stable turntable
I do what I do best because I`m illing and able
Ain`t no faking - your money I`m taking
Going coast to coast - watching all the girlies shaking
While you`re at the job working nine to five
The Beastie Boys at the Garden - cold kickin` it live
(bridge) No sleep `til -
Another place - another train
Another bottle in the brain
Another girl - another fight
Another drive all night
Our manager`s crazy - he always smokes dust
He`s got his own room at the back of the bus
Tour around the world - you rock around the clock
Plane to hotel - girls on the jock
We`re thrashing hotels like it`s going out of style
Getting paid along the way cause it`s worth your while
Four on the floor - Adrock`s out the door
M.C.A.`s in the back because he`s skeezin` with a whore
We got a safe in the trunk with money in a stack
With dice in the front and Brooklyn`s in the back
(repeat bridge)
(repeat chorus)
Ain`t seen the light since we started this band
M.C.A. - get on the mic my man
Born and bred Brooklyn - U.S.A.
They all me Adam Yauch - but I`m M.C.A.
Like a lemon to a lime - a lime to a lemon
I sip the def ale with all the fly women
Got limos, arena, TV shows
Autograph pictures and classy hos
Step off homes - get out of my way
Taxing little girlies form here to L.A.
Waking up but I get to sleep
Cause I`ll be rocking this party eight days a week
(repeat chorus)
