California love!





Chorus -- Roger Troutman

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!



(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 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

Californ-i-a.







Chorus -- Roger Troutman

California....knows how to party

California....knows how to party

In tha citaaay of LA

In tha citaaay of good ol' Watts

In tha citaaay of Compton

We Keep it Rockin'

We Keep it Rockin'



(Dre)





Yeah, now make it shake! come on!
