Lyrics:

California 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, 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 you'll 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 the Bay
Your city is the 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 (California) knows how to party (knows how to party)
California (west coast) knows how to party (yes, they do) (that's right)
In the city (city) of L.A. (city of L.A.)
In the city of good ol' Watts (good ol' Watts)
In the city, city of Compton (city of Compton)
We keep it rockin' (keep it rockin'), we keep it rockin'
(Yeah, you make it shake, come on)

Shake it, shake it baby
Shake it, shake it (shake it baby)
Shake it, shake it mama
Shake it Cali (shake it Cali)
Shake it, shake it baby (that's right)
Shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it mama
Shake it Cali

Out on bail fresh outta jail
California dreamin'
Soon as I step on the scene
I'm hearin' hoochies screamin'
Fiendin' for money and alcohol, the life of a west side playa
Where cowards die and it's all ball
Only in Cali where we riot not rallies to live and die
In L.A. we wearin' Chucks not Ballies (yeah that's right)
Dressed in Loques and 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 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 (California) knows how to party
California knows how to party (come on baby)
In the city (south central) of L.A. (L.A.)
In the city of good ol' Watts (uh, that's right)
In the city, the city of Compton (yup, yup)
We keep it rockin' (keep it rockin'), we keep it rockin'
(Yeah, yeah now make it shake, uh)

Shake it, shake it baby
Shake it, shake it (shake it baby)
Shake it, shake it mama
Shake it Cali (shake it Cali)
Shake it, shake it baby (shake it Cali)
Shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it mama (west coast)
Shake it Cali

Uh, yeah, uh, Longbeach in the house, uh yeah
Oaktown, Oakland definetely in the house - hahaha
Frisco, Frisco
Hey, you know L.A. is up in this
Pasadena, where you at
Yeah, Inglewood, Inglewood always up to no good
Even Hollywood tryin' to get a piece baby
Sacramento, Sacramento where ya at?
Yeah

Throw it up y'all, throw it up, throw it up, I can't see ya
Let's show these fools how we do this on that west side
