California love.
* 4-bar break
* Chorus 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, city of Compton
We keep it rockin'.
We keep it rockin'.
* Verse 1 Now let me welcome everybody to the wild, wild west.
A safe that's untouchable like Elliot Nes.
The track hits your eardrum like a slug to your chest.
Pack a vest for your Jimmy in the city of Cess.
We in that sunshine state where the bomb-a** hemp be,
The state where you never find a dancefloor empty,
And pimps be on a mission for them greens,
Lean, mean money-makin' machines servin' fiends.
I've been in the game for 10 years, makin' rtunes
Ever since honeys was wearin' Sassoom.
Now it's '95, and they clock me and watch me diamond shinin',
Lookin' like I robbed Liberace.
It's all good, from Diego to the Bay.
Your city is the bomb, if your city's makin' pay.
Pull up a finger if you feel the same way.
Dre puttin' it down for Californ-i-a.
* (Repeat chorus)
Yeah, now make it shake, c'mon.
Shake, shake it baby.
Shake, shake it.
Shake, shake it mama.
Shake it Cali. (repeat)
* Verse 2 Out on bail, rush out of jail California dreamin'.
Soon as I step on the scene, I'm hearing hocchies screamin'.
Fiendin' for money and alcohol,
The life of a West-side player
With cabbage, dice and a Strongball.
Only in Cali will we riot, not rally, to live and die.
In L.A we wear Chucks, not Ballys.
Dressed in loc's and khaki suits and ride is what we do.
Flossin', but have caution we can lie with other groups.
Famous because we program world-wdie.
Let 'em recognise from Long Beach to Rose Grande.
Bumpin' and grindin' like a slow jam.
It's West-side, so you know the world won't bow down to no man.
Say what you say, but gimme that bomb beat from Dre.
Let me serenade the streets of L.A.
From Oakland to Sac-town,
The Bay Area and back down,
Cali is where they put their mack down.
Gimme love!
* (Repeat chorus)
Yeah, yeah, now make it shake.
Shake, shake it baby, etc.
