2PAC FEAT. DR. DRE: California Love  

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'

(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 as* 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
California

Repeat chorus

BRIDGE:
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

(2Pac:)
Out on bail fresh out of jail,
California dreamin'
Soon as I step on the scene,
I'm hearin' hoochies screamin'
Fiendin' for money and alcohol
The life of a Westside player
Where cowards die
And the strong ball
Only in Cali where we riot
Not rally to live and die
In L.A. we wearin'
Chucks not Ballies
(Yeah, 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 because we throw grands
Worldwide let 'em recognise
From Long Beach to Rosecranz
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 Sac-town
The Bay Area and back down
Cali is where they put
They mack down
Give me love

Repeat chorus

(Dr. Dre:)
Now make it shake

Repeat bridge

(Dr. Dre and 2Pac:)
Uh, yeah, uh, longbeach
In tha house, uh yeah
Oaktown, Oakland definitely
In tha house ha, ha, ha
Frisko, Frisko
(2Pac)
Hey, you know LA is up in this
Pasadina, where you at
Yeah, Ingelwood, Ingelwood
Always up to no good
(2Pac)
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 right
West coast, west coast
Uh, California love
California love
