2Pac, Roger Troutman, Dr. Dre - California Love lyrics

California love

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 hit's 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 bomb-ass hemp be
The state where you never find
A dance floor empty
And pimps be on a mission for them greens
Lean mean money making
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 the Bay
Your city is the bomb if your city makin' pay
Throw up a finger if you feel the same way
Dre puttin' it down for Californ-i-a

California knows how to party
California knows how to party (Yes, they do)
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

Out on bail, fresh out of jail
California dreamin'
Soon as I step on the scene
I'm hearin' hoochies screamin'
Fiendin' 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 wearin' Chucks, not Ballys
(yeah, that's right)
Dressed in Locs and Khaki suit's
And ride is what we do
Flossin' but have caution: we
Collide with other crews
Famous because we throw grams
Worldwide, let them recognize from
Long Beach to Rosecrans
Bumpin' and grindin' 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 Sac-town
The Bay Area and back down
Cali is where they put their
Mack down give me love!

California knows how to party
California knows how to party (Yes, they do)
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'

South Central uh, that's right
Now make it shake

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, Cali uh, uh, West Coast
Uh, yeah, uh, 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 tryin' to get a piece, baby
Sacramento, Sacramento where you at?
Throw it up, y'all! Throw it up, throw it up!
I can't see ya
Let's show these fools how we do
It over on this Westside
'Cause you and I know it's the best side
Yeah, that's right west Coast, West Coast
