California love
California, knows how to party
California, knows how to party
In the city of L. A.
In the city of good old Watts
In the city, the city of Compton
We keep it rockin'
We keep it rockin'
(Rap)
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 your 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 you 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 ninety five and they clock me
and watch me
Diamonds shinin' - lookin' like I robbed Liberace
It's all good, from Diego to the Bay
Your city is the bomb if your city makin' pay
Oh, throw up a finger if you feel the same way
Dreputtin' it down for California, yeah
California, knows how to party
(Knows how to party)
California
Knows how to party
(Yes they do)
In the city of L. A.
(City of L. A.)
In the city of good old Watts
In the city, the city of Compton
Keep it rockin'
We keep it rockin' Yeah
Shake it, shake it, baby
Shake it, 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, Mama
Shake it, Cali
(Rap)
Out on bail fresh out a jail
California dreamin' -
Soon as I stepped on the scene
I'm hearin' hoochiesscreamin' -
Fiendin' - for money and alcohol
The life of a west side playa where cowards
die in a strong vow
Only in Cali where we riot,
now rallies are live and die
In L. A. we wearin'
Chucks not Ballies
Dressed in Locsand khaki suits
and ride is what we do
Flossin' - but have caution
we collide with other crews
Famous because we program worldwide
Let 'em recognize from
Longbeach - to Rosecrans
Bumpin' - and gridin' - like a slow jam,
it's west side
So you know the row won't
blow 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
(Ain't no silly)
California, knows how to party
(C'mon, baby)
In the city
(South Central) of L. A.
In the city of good old Watts
(Oh, that's right)
In the city, the city of Compton
Keep it rockin'
We keep it rockin'
(Yeah, yeah
Now make it shake, oh)
Shake it, shake it, baby
Shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it, Mama
Shake it, Cali
Shake it, shake it, baby
Shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it, Mama
Shake it, Cali
(West Coast, oh)
