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 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 the city of L.A. |
|

Shake it, shake it, baby |
|
Shake it, shake it, mama |
|
Shake it Cali |
|
Shake it, shake it, baby |
|
Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it |
|
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 |
|
Give me 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 make it shake |
|
Shake it, shake it, baby |
|
Shake it, shake it, baby |
|
Shake it, shake it, mama |
|
Shake it Cali |

Shake it, shake it, baby |

Uh, California Love, California love |
