California knows how to party
In the city of L.A.
In the city of good ol' Watts
In the city, 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 your eardrum like a slug to your 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 you 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 the Bay
Your city is the bomb if your city makin' pay (uh)
Throw up a finger if you feel the same way
Dre puttin' it down for Californ-i-a

Out on bail, fresh outta jail, California dreamin'
Soon as I step on the scene I'm hearin' hoochies screamin'
Fiendin' for money and alcohol, the life of the west side
Playa where cowards die and it's all raw
Only in Cali where we riot now rallies are live and die
In L.A. we wearin' Chucks not Ballies (yeah, that's right, uh)
Dressed in Locs and khaki suits and ride is what we do
Flossin', but have caution, we collide with other crews
Famous because we've programs 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 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 (California) knows how to party (ain't no stoppin')
California knows how to party (come on baby)
In the city (South Central) of L.A. (L.A.)
In the city of good ol' Watts (uh, that's right)

'Cause you and I know it's the best side
