Lyrics:
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 Eliot Ness
The track hits your eardrum like a slug to your chest
Pack a vest for your Jimmy in the city of sex
We in that Sunshine State where the bomb-ass hemp be
The state where you never find a dance floor empty
And pimps be on a mission for them greens
Lean mean money-making-machines servin' fiends
I been in the game for 10 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 the Bay
Your city is the bomb if your city makin' pay
Throw up a finger if you feel the same way
Dre puttin' it down for Californ-i-a
California knows how to party
California knows how to party (Yes, they do)
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, shake it, baby
Shake, shake it, shake it baby
Shake, shake it, mama
Shake it, Cali
Shake, shake it, baby
Shake, shake it
Shake, shake it mama
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 Westside 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 Ballys (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 program
Worldwide, let them recognize from Long Beach to Rosecrans
Bumpin' and grindin' like a slow jam
It's Westside, 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 their 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'
Shake, shake it, baby
Shake, shake it
Shake, shake it, mama
Shake it, Cali
Shake, shake it, baby
Shake, shake it
Shake, shake it mama
Shake it, Cali
Uh, yeah, uh, uh, Long Beach in the house
Uh, yeah, Oaktown
Oakland definitely in the house
Frisco, Frisco
And you know L.A. up in this
Pasadena, where you at?
Yeah, Inglewood
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
Let's show these fools how we do it on this Westside
'Cause you and I know it's the best side
Yeah, that's right
West Coast, West Coast
California love
California love, yeah
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 'em rockin', we keep 'em rockin'
Just come on shake, shake it, baby
Baby, baby, shake it mama, shake it mama, shake it mama

Anyone in 2024 ?

To the generation listening to this in 2095 I died many years ago. The 90's was one of the best decades in human history. One love.
-
Stop asking if anyone's here still listening, we never stop
-
2024 anyone?
-
If Pac was alive today, we all would have seen the man perform this song at the Superbowl.
-
At 74, yes 74, I have discovered Tupac and this GREAT song. This former Californian loves this song. My kids are amazed, You're never too old for new kinds of music and my maiden name was Compton . . . so I have a special affinity for this song. Love it!!
-
The 90s were some different yall. Some of yall will never understand, predicate, indicate nor reinnovate. An unforgettable Era. Pac and dre and the rest killed it.
-
When the 90s rapped, it sounded like raw talent and you could really enjoy it. Most of the 90s club rap tunes were gold! Rip 🙏 Tupac
-
Tupac was California's tourism ambassador without even knowing, the way he marketed that state to the whole world through this song is still unbelievable
-
“The only thing that can stop me is death, and even then my music will live forever.” -2Pac
-
RIP Tupac & Roger Troutman 😇😇 ! 90ties wouldn’t be this lit without you two !!!!
-

-

-
I'M 75 AND I'M STILL JAMMIN TO OL SKOOL GANGSTA RAP
-
The Hip hop music has never been the same again since he left us. He truly was way ahead of his time.
-
The 90s gangsta music and rap will always hold a place in my heart.
-
It is now 2021, and i want to be friends with everyone that still loves this song
-
A MESSAGE TO FUTURE GENERATIONS,DON'T LET THIS SONG EVER DIE.
-
As a born and bred Cali girl (73 yrs old) - THIS is the love song to California. Love it!
-
The day this video was released was the day my daughter was born. I’ll never forget it. Now we sing to it! This song and “Clover Cage - Warr Is Only Won With Love” are the two songs keeping me sane through these tough times. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together..I love you ❤️😊
