California Love
(专辑: Greatest Hits - 1998)
[Roger Troutman:] California love 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 rocking, we keep it rocking [Dr. Dre:] Now let me welcome everybody to the
wild, wild west A
state that's untouchable like Eliot 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 where the
bomb-ass hemp be The
state where you never find a
dance floor empty And pimps be on a
mission for them greens Lean mean money-making-machines serving fiends I
been in the
game for 10 years making rap tunes Ever since honeys was wearing Sassoon Now it's '95 and they clock me and watch me Diamonds shining, looking like I
robbed Liberace It's all good, from Diego to the
Bay Your city is the
bomb if your city making pay Throw up a
finger if you feel the
same way Dre putting it down for Californ-i-a [Roger Troutman:] California knows how to party California knows how to party (Yes, they do) In the

step on the
scene, I'm hearing hoochies screaming Fiending for money and alcohol The
life of a
Westside player where cowards die and the
strong ball Only in Cali where we riot not rally to live and die In L.A. we wearing Chucks not Ballys (yeah, that's right) Dressed in Locs and Khaki suits, and ride is what we do Flossing, but have caution: we collide with other crews Famous because we throw grams Worldwide, let them recognize from Long Beach to Rosecrans Bumping and grinding like a
slow jam, it's Westside 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 Sac-town, the
Bay Area and back down Cali is where they put their mack down Give me love! [Roger Troutman:] California knows how to party California knows how to party (Yes, they do) In the
