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, the city of Compton
We keep it rockin!
We keep it rockin!
[Dre:]
Now let me welcome everybody to the wild, wild west
A state that's untouchable like Elliot Ness
The track hits your eardrum like a slug to your 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 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 you feel the same way
Dre puttin it down for Californ-i-a

[Pac:]
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 westside playa where cowards die Only in Cali where we riot now rallies are 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 Sactown.
The Bay Area and back down.
Cali is where they put they mack down.
Give me love!
(Repeat 1)
[Dre:]
Now make it shake...
(Repeat 2)
Uh, yeah, uh

Hey, you know L.A. is up in this
Pasadina, where you at?
Yeah, Ingelwood, Ingelwood always upto 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
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 right
West coast, west coast
Uh, California Love
California Love...
