2 Pac Feat. Dr. Dre - California Love lyrics
California love!
1-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!
Verse One: Dr. Dre
Now let me welcome everybody to the wild, wild westA state that's untouchable like Elliot Ness
The track hits ya eardrum like a slug to ya chestPack a vest for your Jimmy in the city of sex
We in that sunshine state with a bomb ass hemp beatthe state where ya never find a dance floor empty
And pimps be on a mission for them greenslean mean money-makin-machines servin fiends
I been in the game for ten years makin rap tunesever since honeys was wearin sassoon
Now it's '95 and they clock me and watch meDiamonds shinin lookin like I robbed Liberace
It's all good, from Diego to tha BayYour city is tha bomb if your city makin pay
Throw up a finger if ya feel the same wayDre puttin it down forCaliforn-i-a
(repeat 1)
2-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...
Verse Two: 2Pac
Out on bail fresh outta jailCalifornia dreamin
Soon as I stepped on the sceneI'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 dieIn 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 worldwideLet'em recognize from Longbeach to Rosecrans
Bumpin and grindin like a slow jam, it's west sideSo you know the row won't bow down to no man
Say what you sayBut give me that bomb beat from DreLet me serenade the streets of L.A.
From Oakland to SacktownThe Bay Area and back down
Cali is where they put they mack down
Give me love!
(rpt 1)
(dre) now make it shake...
