California Love - Original Version

California

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 *** ** 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' s***oon

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

California knows how to party

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 have caution

We can lie with other crews

Famous cause 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
