No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn

(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)

If anyone can find the solo, Post it!

I'M JUST The STUPID GUITAR BOY in Pittsburgh PA!!!

Listen for me on the radio!!!
