California Love Lyrics

California love! 

 

 [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! 

 

 [Verse One: Dr. Dre]

 

 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

 [repeat 1]

 

 [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... 

 

 [Verse Two: 2Pac]

 

 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

 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 Rosecrands

 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!

 [rpt 1]

 

 [dre] now make it shake... 

 

 [rpt 2]

 

 [Outro: Dre, 2Pac]

 [Tupac] hey, you know LA is up in this 

 Pasadina, where you at

 [Tupac] 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

 Let's show these fools how we do this on that west side

 Cause you and I know it's tha best side 

 

 yeah, That's riight

 west coast, west coast

 uh, California Love

 California Love
