[1] 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 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
|

[2] Shake it shake it baby
|
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...
|
|
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 and its all ball
|
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!
|
