Lyrics

(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 plane, 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 call 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 from here to l.a
Waking up before I get to sleep
Cause I'll be rocking this party eight days a week

(Repeat chorus)
