California Love Lyrics

    California love!


    Chorus -- roger troutman
    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!

    (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.



    Chorus -- roger troutman
    California....knows how to party
    California....knows how to party
    In tha citaaay of la
    In tha citaaay of good ol' watts
    In tha citaaay of compton
    We keep it rockin'
    We keep it rockin'

    (dre)


    Yeah, now make it shake! come on!



    Chorus #2 -- roger troutman
    Shake shake it baby
    Shake shake it, shake it baby
    Shake shake it, shake it cali
    (shake it cali)
    Shake shake it baby
    Shake shake it
    Shake shake it mama
    Shake it cali

    (tupac)


    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, it's our ball
    Only in cali where we riot now rallies are live and die.
    In l.a. we wearin' chucks not ballies. (yea, that's right)
    Dressed in locs and khaki suits
    And ride is what we do.
    Flossin' but havin' caution
    We can lie with other crews.
    Famous because we program
    Worldwide
    Let'em recognize from longbeach to rose grands
    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 in bag down
    Cali is where they put they mack down
    Give me love!



    Chorus -- roger troutman
    California.....knows how to party
    California.....knows how to party
    In tha citaaay of la
    In tha citaaay of good ol' watts
    In tha city of compton
    We keep it rockin'
    We keep it rockin'

    (dre)
