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 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 Longbeach 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!
 (rpt 1)

 (dre) now make it shake...

 (rpt 2)

 Outro: Dre, 2Pac

 (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

 California Love
