California 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 rocking
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 making machines serving fiends
I been in the game for ten years making rap tunes
Ever since honeys was wearing Sassoon
Now it's '95 and they clock me and watch me
Diamonds shining looking like I robbed Liberace
It's all good from Diego to the bay
Your city is the bomb if your city making pay
Throw up a finger if ya feel the same way
Dre putting it down for
California
Keep it rocking
Now make it shake come on
Shake it shake it baby
Shake it shake it
Shake it baby
Shake it shake it mama
Shake it Cali
That's right
Out on bail fresh outta jail
California dreaming
Soon as I stepped on the scene
I'm hearing hoochies screaming
Fending for money and alcohol
The life of a Westside player where cowards die
Only in Cali where we riot now rallies are live and die
In L.A. we wearing chucks not Ballie's
Dressed in locks and khaki suits and ride is what we do
Flossing but have caution we collide with other crews
Famous cause we program worldwide
Let 'em recognize from long beach to Rosecrans
Bumping and grinding 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 drew
Let me serenade the streets of L.A.
From Oakland to Sac-ktown
The bay area and back down
Cali is where they put they Mack down
Now make it shake
Uh yeah uh long beach in the house uh yeah
Oaktown Oakland definitely in the house hahahahahaha
Frisko Frisko
Hey you know L.A. is up in this
Pasadena where you at
Yeah Inglewood Inglewood always up to no good
Even Hollywood trying to get a piece baby
Sacramento Sacramento where ya at yeah
Throw it up throw it up
Throw it up y'all
I can't see ya
