California Love

California...

California...knows how to party

California...knows how to party

In the citaaay of L.A.

In the citaaay of good ol' Watts

In the citaaay, 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 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 California.

California....knows how to party

California....knows how to party

In tha citaaay of LA

In tha citaaay of good ol' Watts

In the citaaay, the city of Compton.

We Keep it Rockin'

We Keep it Rockin'

(Dre) Yeah, now make it shake! come on!

Shake Shake it baby

Shake Shake it, Shake it baby

Shake Shake it, Shake it Cali(Shake it Cali)

Shake Shake it baby

Shake Shake it

Shake 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, it's our ball

Only in Cali where we riot now rallies are live and die.

In L.A. we wearin' chucks not Ballies. (yea, that's right)

Dressed in Locs and khaki suits

and ride is what we do.

Flossin' but have caution

we can lie with other crews.

Famous cause we program worldwide

let'em recognize from Longbeach to Rose Grands

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 in bag down

California is where they put they mack down

California.....knows how to party

In tha Citaaay of LA

In tha Citaaay of good ol' Watts

In the citaaay, the city of Compton.

We keep it Rockin'

We Keep it Rockin'
