California Love (original Version) Lyrics - 2pac

California love! 

 

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! 

 

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 never find a dance floor empty 

And pimps be on a mission for them greens 

lean mean money-makin-machines 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

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! 

 

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... 

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 its all ball 

Only in Cali where we riot not rally to live and die 

In 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 worldwide 

 

Photos 

 

Let'em recognize from Long Beach 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 Dre 

 

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! 

 

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! 

 

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... 

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

Oaktown, Oakland definately in tha house hahaha 

Frisko, Frisko 

Hey, you know LA is up in this 

Pasadena, where you at 

yeah, Inglewood, Inglewood always up to no good 

Even Hollywood tryin to get a piece baby 

Sacramento, sacramento where ya at? yeah 

Throw it up y'all, throw it up, 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 

Yeah, That's riight 

west coast, west coast 

uh, California Love 

California Love
