California love!      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   Californ-i-a      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!      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 not rally to 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 Long Beach 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 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!      Shake, shake it baby   Shake it shake it   Shake, shake it mama   Shake it Cali   Shake, shake it baby   Shake it shake it   Shake, shake it mama   Shake it Cali   Shake, shake it baby   Shake it shake it   Shake, shake it mama   Shake it Cali      California Love
