California love...
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 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.
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...knows how to party
In tha citaaay of LA
In tha citaaay of good ol' Watts
In the citaaay, the city of Compton.
We Keep it Rockin'

Shake Shake it, Shake it baby
Shake Shake it, Shake it Cali（Shake it Cali）
Shake Shake it baby

Shake it Cali
Out on bail fresh outta jail 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 their mack down, give me love!
California.....knows how to party
California.....knows how to party
In tha Citaaay of LA
In tha Citaaay of good ol' Watts（yea, that's right）
In the citaaay, the city of Compton.

Pasadena, where you at?

Inglewood always up to no good
Even Hollywood tryin' to get a piece, baby
Sacramento, Sacramento where you at?
Throw it up, y'all! Throw it up, throw it up! I can't see ya
