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 sex

We in that sunshine state with a bomb a** h**p 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

Shake it shake it

Shake it baby

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
