California

In the citaaay, city of Compton
We keep it

Verse One: Dr. Dre
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'll never find a dance floor empty
And pimps
be, on a mission for them greens
Lean mean money-makin-machine 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 Liberachi
It's all good, from Diego to the Bay
Your city is
tha bomb if your city makin pay (uh)
Throw up a finger if ya feel the same
way

Californ-i-a
Chorus California

Verse Two: 2Pac 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 it's all ball
Only in
Cali where we riot not rally to live and die
In L.A. we wear Chucks not
Ballies (yeah that's right, uh)
Dressed in Locc's and khaki suits and ride is
what we do
Flossin' but have caution we collide with other crews
Famous
because we program
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 Sactown
The Bay Area and
back down
Cali is where they put they mack down
Give me love!
