California Love |
|
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! |
|
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 |

|
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 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! |
