California Love

2Pac

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 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 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

California Love
