California Love

[Intro] California love [Chorus] 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'! [Verse 1] Now let me welcome everybody to the wild, wild west A state that's untouchable like Elliot Ness The track hits your eardrum like a slug to your chest Pack a vest for your Jimmy in the city of sex We in that sunshine state where the bomb ass hemp be The state where you never find a dance floor empty And pimps be on a mission for them greens Lean mean money-makin' machines servin' fiends I've 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 the Bay Your city is the bomb if your city makin' pay Throw up a finger if you feel the same way Dre puttin' it down for Californ-i-a [Chorus] 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'! [Refrain] Shake it, baby Shake it, baby Shake it, baby Shake it, baby Shake it, baby Shake it, baby Shake it, baby Shake it, baby [Verse 2] 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 Westside playa where cowards die and it's all ball Only in Cali where we riot not rally to live and die In L.A. we wearin' Chucks not Ballys (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 Long Beach to Rosecrans Bumpin' and grindin' like a slow jam It's Westside 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 Sactown The Bay Area and back down Cali is where they put they mack down Give me love [Chorus] 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'! [Outro] Shake it, baby Shake it, baby Shake it, baby Shake it, baby Shake it, baby Shake it, baby Shake it, baby Shake it, baby
