No Sleep Till Brooklyn - Lyrics by Beastie Boys


Lyrics
No sleep till - Brooklyn !
Foot on the pedalnever ever false metal
Engine running hotter than a boiling kettle
My iob ain't a jobit's a damn good time
City to city I'm running my rhymes.
On locationtouring around the nation
Beastie Boys always on vacation
Itchy trigger fingerbut a stable turntable
I do what I do bestbecause I'm willing and able.
Ain't no fakingyour money I'm taking
Going coast to coast to watch all the girlies shaking.
While you're at the job working nine to five
The Beastie Boys at the gardencoldkickin' it live.
No sleep till -
Another planeanother trainanother bottle in the brain
Another girlanother fightanother drive all night.
Our manager's crazyhe always smokes dust
He's got his own room at the back of the bus.
Tour around the worldyou rock around the clock
Plane to hotelgirls on the jock.
We're trashing hotels like it's going out of style
Getting paid along the way'cause it's worth your while.
Four on the floor ad-rock'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.
No sleep till -
No sleep till Brooklyn ! No sleep till Brooklyn !
Ain't seen the light since we started this band
M.C.A. ! Get on the mikemy man!
Born and bred Brooklyn
U.S.A.
They call me Adam Yauchbut I'm M.C.A..
Like a lemon to a limea lime to a lemon
I sip the def ale with all the fly women.
Got limosarena
TV-showsautograph pictures and classy hos
Step off homesget out of my way
Taxing little girlies from here to L.A..
Waking upbut I get to sleep'
Cause I'll be rockin' this party eight days a week!
No sleep till -
No sleep till Brooklyn! No sleep till Brooklyn !
