Prince Follow

(Feat. Dr. Dre)

California love!

[Chorus]

California...knows how to party

California...knows how to party

In the city of L.A.

In the city of good ol' Watts

In the city, 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

Dre puttin it down for

Californ-i-a

[Chorus]

California (california)...knows how to party (knows how to party!)

California (west coast)...knows how to party (yes they do)(that's right)

In the city of L.A. (city of L.A.)

In the city of good ol' Watts (good ol' Watts)

In the city, the city of Compton (city of Compton)

We keep it rockin! We keep it rockin! (come on, come on, come on...)

Shake it shake it baby

Shake it shake it, shake it baby

Shake it shake it mama

Shake it Cali

Shake it shake it baby (thats right, uh)

Shake it shake it baby baby, shake it shake it mama, shake it Cali...

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 war

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

In L.A. we wearin Chucks not Ballies (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 cause we program worldwide

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 Sactown

The Bay Area and back down

Cali is where they put they mack down

Cali-love

[Chorus]

California (california)...knows how to party

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)

In the city, the city of Compton (yup, yup)

We keep it rockin! We keep it rockin! (yeah, yeah now make it shake - c'mon)

Shake it shake it baby (uh)

Shake it shake it, shake it baby (ahh, yeah)

Shake it shake it mama (ahh)

Shake it Cali (shake it Cali)

Shake it shake it baby (shake it Cali)

Shake it shake it, shake it shake it mama (west-coast), shake it Cali... (ooooooooheeooheo!)

[Outro: Dre, 2Pac]

In the city of L.A. (South Central, uh)
