California love
California 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!
Now let me welcome everybody to the wild, wild west
A state thats 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 ***
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 its 95
and they clock me and watch me
diamonds shinin
lookin like I robbed Liberace.
Its 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 tha citaaay of LA
In tha citaaay of good ol Watts
In the citaaay, the city of Compton.
We Keep it Rockin
We Keep it Rockin

Shake Shake it, Shake it baby
Shake Shake it, Shake it Cali(Shake it Cali )
Shake Shake it baby

Shake it Cali
Out on bail fresh outta jail
California dreaminSoon as I stepped on the scene
Im hearin hoochies screamin.
Fiendin for money and alcohol
the life of a west side playa
where cowards die, its our ball
Only in Cali where we riot now rallies are live and die.
In L.A. we wearin chucks not Ballies. (yea, thats right)
Dressed in Locs and khaki suits
and ride is what we do.
Flossin but have caution
we can lie with other crews.
Famous cause we program worldwide
letem recognize from Longbeach to Rose Grands
Bumpin and Grindin like a slow jam
its west side
so you know the Row wont 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 in bag down
California....knows how to party
Cali is where they put they mack down
California....knows how to party
In tha Citaaay of LA
In tha Citaaay of good ol Watts
In the citaaay, the city of Compton.
We keep it Rockin
We Keep it Rockin
