    Lyrics

    [Roger Troutman:]
    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'

    [Dr. Dre:]
    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 serving fiends
    I been in the game for 10 years making rap tunes
    Ever since honeys was wearing Sassoon
    Now it's '95 and they clock me and watch me
    Diamonds shining, looking like I robbed Liberace
    It's all good, from Diego to the Bay
    Your city is the bomb if your city making pay
    Throw up a finger if you feel the same way
    Dre putting it down for Californ-i-a

    [Roger Troutman:]
    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'

    [Roger Troutman:]
    Shake, shake it, baby
    Shake, shake it, mama
    Shake it Cali, shake it shake it baby
    Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it

    [2Pac:]
    Out on bail, fresh out of jail, California dreaming
    Soon as I step on the scene, I'm hearing hoochies screaming
    Fiending 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 wearing Chucks not Ballys (yeah, that's right)
    Dressed in Locs and Khaki suits, and ride is what we do
    Flossing, but have caution: we collide with other crews
    Famous because we throw grams
    Worldwide, let them recognize from Long Beach to Rosecrans
    Bumping and grinding 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!

    [Roger Troutman:]
    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'

    [Dr. Dre:] South Central
    [2Pac:] Uh, that's right
    [Dr. Dre:] Now make it shake

    [Roger Troutman:]
    Shake, shake it, baby
    Shake, shake it, mama
    Shake it Cali, shake it shake it baby
    Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it

    [Dr. Dre:]
    Shake it Cali
    Uh, uh, West Coast
    Uh, yeah, uh, uh, Long Beach in the house
    Uh, yeah, Oaktown, Oakland definitely in the house
    Frisco, Frisco

    [2Pac:]
    And you know L.A. up in here

    [Dr. Dre:]
    Pasadena where you at?
    Yeah, Inglewood
    Inglewood always up to no good

    [2Pac:]
    Even Hollywood trying to get a piece, baby

    [Dr. Dre:]
    Sacramento, Sacramento where you at?

    [2Pac:]
    Throw it up ya'll, throw it up, throw it up!
    I can't see ya
    Let's show these fools how we do it over on this West Side
    Cause you and I know it's the best side
    Yeah, that's right
    West Coast, West Coast
