No sleep till

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 kicking it live

No sleep till

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 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

MCA's in the back 'cause he's sleeping 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

White boys got more rhymes

No sleep till

No sleep till Brooklyn

No sleep till Brooklyn

Ain't seen the light since we started this band

So, MCA, get on the mic, my man!

Born and bred Brooklyn USA

They call me Adam Yauch but I'm MCA

Like a lemon to a lime, a lime to a lemon

I sip the def ale with all the fly women

Got limos, arena, and TV shows

Autograph pictures and classy hoes

Step off, Holmes, 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

No sleep till

No sleep till Brooklyn

No sleep till Brooklyn

No (no) sleep (sleep) till Brooklyn (Brooklyn)

No (no) sleep (sleep) till Brooklyn (yeah)

No (no) sleep (sleep) till Brooklyn (Brooklyn)

No (no) sleep (sleep) till Brooklyn (Brooklyn)

No (no) sleep (sleep) till Brooklyn (Brooklyn)

No (no) sleep (sleep) till Brooklyn (Brooklyn)

No (no) sleep (sleep) till Brooklyn (Brooklyn)

No (no) sleep (sleep) till Brooklyn (Brooklyn)
