They call me Adam Yauch, but I'm MCA Like a lemon to a lime, a lime to a lemon D I sip the def ale with all the fine women Got limos, arenas, TV shows D Autograph pictures and classy hoes Step off homes, get out of my way D Taxing little girlies form here to L.A. Waking up before I get to sleep 'Cause I'll be rocking this party eight days a week D F G A F D F G A F No sleep till D F G A F No sleep till Brooklyn D F G A F No sleep till Brooklyn D F G A F No sleep till Brooklyn D F G A F No sleep till Brooklyn Instrumental D F G A F No sleep till Brooklyn D F G A F No sleep till Brooklyn D F G A F No sleep till Brooklyn D F G A F No sleep till Brooklyn D F G A F No sleep till Brooklyn D F G A F No sleep till Brooklyn
