(Dre)
Now let me welcome everybody to the wild, wild west
2-Shake it shake it baby!
(Tupac)
Out on bail fresh outta jail
(dre) now make it shake...
(rpt 2)
(Dre)
uh, yeah, uh, longbeach in tha house, uh yeah
(Tupac)
Throw it up y'all, throw it up, Throw it up
(Dre)
yeah, That's riight
A state that's untouchable like Elliot Ness
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
Dre puttin' it down for
Californ-i-a.
(repeat 1)
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...
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
Only in Cali where we riot now rallies are live and die.
In L.A. we wearin' chucks not Ballies. (yea, that's right)
Dressed in Locs and khaki suits and ride is what we do
Flossin' but have caution we can lie with other crews.
Famous cause we program worldwide
Let'em recognize from Longbeach to Rose grands
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 in bag down
Cali is where they put they mack down
Give me love!
(rpt 1)
Oaktown, Oakland definately in tha house hahaha
Frisko, Frisko
(Tupac) hey, you know LA is up in this
Pasadina, where you at
yeah, Ingelwood, Ingelwood always up to no good
(Tupac) even Hollywood tryin to get a piece baby
Sacramento, sacramento where ya at? yeah
Let's show these fools how we do this on that west side
Cause you and I know it's tha best side
west coast, west coast
uh, California Love
California Love
