2pac Feat. Dr Dre - California Love lyrics

rate me

California love

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'

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 California

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'

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

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 West side 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 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 Sac-town, the Bay Area and back down

Cali is where they put they mack down, give me love

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'

Now make it shake

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

Uh, yeah, uh, Long Beach in tha house, uh, yeah

Oak town, Oakland definitely in tha house, ha, ha, ha

Frisco, Frisco

(Tupac)

Hey, you know LA is up in this Pasadena, where you at?

Yeah, Inglewood, Inglewood always up to no good

(Tupac)

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
