2pac - California Love (Feat Dr. Dre)

Chorus - Roger Troutman:
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 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'll never find
A dance floor empty
And pimps be on a mission
For them greens
Lean mean money-makin-machine
Servin fiends
I been in the game for ten 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 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

Chorus - Dre:
Yeah, now make it shake! come on!
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 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
And it's all ball.
Only in Cali where
We riot not rallies
To live and die In L.A. we wearin Chucks
Not Ballies (yeah that's right)
Dressed in Loques 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 Der.
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.
Give me love!

Chorus - Roger Troutman

Dre:
Now make it shake...

Outro: Dre, 2Pac:

Uh, yeah, uh, longbeach in tha house,
Uh yeah Oaktown,

Hey, you know LA is up in this Pasadina,

Always up to no good
Even Hollywood tryin' to get a piece baby

Tupac:
Throw it up y'all, throw it up,

Let's show these fools
How we do this on that west side
Cause you and
I know it's tha best side
Just come on shake
Shake it baby baby baby
