Dr. Dre
California Love
[Intro]
California love

[Chorus]
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'!

[Verse 1]
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 where the bomb ass hemp be
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've 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
[Chorus]
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'!

[Refrain]
Shake it, baby
Shake it, baby
Shake it, baby
Shake it, baby
Shake it, baby
Shake it, baby
Shake it, baby
Shake it, baby

[Verse 2]
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 Westside playa where cowards die and it's all ball
Only in Cali where we riot not rally to live and die
In L.A. we wearin' Chucks not Ballys (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 Westside 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
[Chorus]
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'!

[Outro]
Shake it, baby
Shake it, baby
Shake it, baby
Shake it, baby
Shake it, baby
Shake it, baby
Shake it, baby
Shake it, baby
