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