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 *** 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 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
Califor ni a
California knows how to party
California knows how to party
In the city of L A

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
Only in Cali where we riot now
rallies are live and die
In 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 worldwide
Let'em recognize from
Longbeach 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 Sacktown
The Bay Area and back down
Cali is where they put they mack down
California knows how to party
Give me love
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
