Oaktown, Oakland definitely in tha house ha, ha, ha
Frisko, Frisko
(Tupac)
Dressed in Locs and khaki suits and ride is what we do
In L.A. we wearin' Chucks not Ballies
Hey, you know LA is up in this
In the city, the city of Compton
In the city, the city of Compton
Shake it shake it baby
From Oakland to Sac-town, the Bay Area and back down
Diamonds shinin' lookin' like I robbed Liberace
Yeah, Ingelwood, Ingelwood always up to no good
Your city is tha bomb if your city makin' pay
A state that's untouchable like Elliot Ness
Shake it shake it baby
So you know the Row won't bow down to no man
Worldwide let 'em recognize from Long Beach to Rosecranz
Say what you say, but give me that bomb beat from Dre
In the city, the city of Compton
Bumpin' and grindin' like a slow jam, it's Westside
Pack a vest for your Jimmy in the city of sex
California, knows how to party
We keep it rockin', we keep it rockin'
I been in the game for ten years makin' rap tunes
Yeah, that's right
Shake it Cali
We keep it rockin', we keep it rockin'
Fiendin' for money and alcohol, the life of a Westside player
(Yeah, that's right)
We in that sunshine state with a bomb ass hemp beat
Where cowards die, and the strong ball
Now it's '95 and they clock me and watch me
Throw it up y'all, throw it up, throw it up
Shake it shake it shake it shake it
Shake it shake it baby
California, knows how to party
Pasadina, where you at
Uh, yeah, uh, longbeach in tha house, uh yeah
Flossin' but have caution we collide with other crews
Lean mean money makin' machines servin' fiends
It's all good, from Diego to tha Bay
In the city of L.A.
Cali is where they put they mack down, give me love
Shake it shake it mama
Out on bail fresh out of jail, California dreamin'
California, knows how to party
(Tupac)
Throw up a finger if ya feel the same way
Sacramento, Sacramento where ya at? yeah
And pimps be on a mission for them greens
We keep it rockin', we keep it rockin'
Famous because we throw grands
Even Hollywood tryin' to get a piece baby
Only in Cali where we riot not rally to live and die
Now make it shake
Ever since honeys was wearin' Sassoon
In the city of L.A.
In the city of good ol' Watts
In the city of L.A.
West coast, west coast
Let me serenade the streets of L.A.
The track hits ya eardrum like a slug to ya chest
The state where ya never find a dance floor empty
Dre puttin' it down for California
Shake it Cali
'Cause you and I know it's tha best side
Shake it shake it baby
Uh, California Love
Shake it shake it mama
In the city of good ol' Watts
California, knows how to party

Shake it shake it baby

Shake it shake it shake it shake it
Soon as I step on the scene, I'm hearin' hoochies screamin'
