2 Pac Feat. Dr. Dre - California Love lyrics

rate me

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 westA state that's untouchable like Elliot Ness

The track hits ya eardrum like a slug to ya chestPack a vest for your Jimmy in the city of sex

We in that sunshine state with a bomb ass hemp beatthe state where ya never find a dance floor empty

And pimps be on a mission for them greenslean mean money-makin-machines servin fiends

I been in the game for ten years makin rap tunesever since honeys was wearin sassoon

Now it's '95 and they clock me and watch meDiamonds shinin lookin like I robbed Liberace

It's all good, from Diego to tha BayYour city is tha bomb if your city makin pay

Throw up a finger if ya feel the same wayDre puttin it down forCaliforn-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 jailCalifornia dreamin

Soon as I stepped on the sceneI'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 now rallies are live and dieIn 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 worldwideLet'em recognize from Longbeach to Rosecrans

Bumpin and grindin like a slow jam, it's west sideSo you know the row won't bow down to no man

Say what you sayBut give me that bomb beat from DreLet me serenade the streets of L.A.

From Oakland to SacktownThe Bay Area and back down

Cali is where they put they mack down

Give me love!

(rpt 1)

(dre) now make it shake...
