California love
Ooh
California
knows how to party
California
knows how to party
In the city of LA
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 Eliot 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 bombass hemp be
find a dance floor empty
And pimps be
on a mission for them greens
Lean mean
moneymakingmachines
serving fiends
I been in the game
for ten years
making rap tunes
Ever since honeys
was wearing Sassoon
Now it's nine-tyfive
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
you feel the same way
Dre putting it down for
California
California
Knows how to party
California
Knows how to party
In the city of LA
In the city
Of good ol' Watts
In the city
the city of Compton
We keep it rockin'
we keep it rockin'
Shake shake it baby
Shake shake it mama
Shake it Cali
shake it shake it baby
Shake it shake it shake it
Shake it shake it shake it
Shake it shake it shake it
Shake it shake it
Out on bail
fresh out of jail
California dreaming
Soon as I step on the scene
I'm hearing hoochies screaming
Fiending for money
and alcohol
The life of a Westside player
where cowards die
and the strong ball
Only in Cali
where we riot not rally
to live and die
In LA we wearing Chucks
not Ballys
Dressed in Locs
and Khaki suits
and ride is what we do
Flossing but have caution
we collide with other crews
Famous because
we throw grams
Worldwide
let them recognize
from Long Beach
to Rosecrans
Bumping and grinding
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 LA
From Oakland to Sactown
the Bay Area and back down
Cali is where
they put their mack down
California
Knows how to party
California
Knows how to party
In the city of LA
In the city of good ol' Watts
In the city the city of Compton
We keep it rockin'
Keep it rockin'
Shake shake it baby
Shake shake it
Shake shake it mama
Shake it Cali
Shake shake it baby
Shake shake it
Shake shake it mama
Shake it Cali
Uh yeah uh
Long Beach in the house
Uh yeah Oaktown
Oakland definitely in the house
Frisco Frisco
And you know LA up in here
Pasadena where you at
Yeah Inglewood
Inglewood always up to no good
Even Hollywood trying
to get a piece baby
Sacramento
Sacramento where you at
Yeah
Throw it up ya'll throw it up throw it up
I can't see ya
Let's show these fools
how we do it over
on this West Side
