Foot on the pedal, never ever false metal Engine running hotter than a boiling kettle My job 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 watch 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 skeezing 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 in 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 Limos, arenas, and TV shows Autographed 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
