California love
California knows how to party
California knows how to party
In the city of L A
In the city of good ol' Watts
In the city the city of Compton
We keep it rockin
We keep it rockin
Now let me welcome everybody to the wild wild west
A state that's untouchable like Elliot Ness
The track hits ya eardrum like a slug to ya chest
Pack a vest for your Jimmy in the city of s*x
We in that sunshine state with a bomb ass hemp beat
The state where ya never find a dance floor empty
And pimps be on a mission for them greens
Lean mean money-makin-machines servin fiends
I been in the game for ten years makin rap tunes
Ever since honeys was wearin sassoon
Now it's '95 and they clock me and watch me
Diamonds shinin lookin like I robbed Liberace
It's all good from Diego to tha Bay
Your city is tha bomb if your city makin pay
Throw up a finger if ya feel the same way
Dre puttin it down for
Califor ni a
California knows how to party
California knows how to party
In the city of L A
In the city of good ol' Watts
In the city the city of Compton
Keep it rockin
Keep it rockin
Keep it rockin
Now make it shake
Shake it shake it baby
Come on
Shake it shake it
Shake it baby
Shake it shake it mama
Shake it Cali
Shake it Cali
Shake it shake it baby
That's right
Shake it shake it
Shake it shake it mama
Shake it Cali
Out on bail fresh outta jail
California dreamin
Soon as I stepped on the scene
I'm hearin hoochies screamin
Fiendin for money and alcohol
The life of a west side playa where cowards die
Only in Cali where we riot now rallies are live and die
In L A we wearin Chucks not Ballies
That's right
Dressed in Locs and khaki suits and ride is what we do
Flossin but have caution we collide with other crews
Famous cause we program worldwide
Let'em recognize from Longbeach to Rosecrans
Bumpin and grindin like a slow jam it's west side
So you know the row won't bow down to no man
Say what you say
But give me that bomb beat from Dre
Let me serenade the streets of L A
From Oakland to Sacktown
The Bay Area and back down
Cali is where they put they mack down
California knows how to party
Give me love
California knows how to party
In the city of L A
In the city of good ol' Watts
In the city the city of Compton
We keep it rockin
We keep it rockin
Yeah yeah now make it shake
Shake it shake it baby
Shake it shake it
Shake it shake it mama
Shake it Cali
Shake it Cali
Shake it shake it baby

California love
