text: 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 thats 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 its 95 and they clock me and watch me
  Diamonds shinin lookin like I robbed Liberace
  Its 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 California
  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
  Shake it, shake it baby, 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
  Out on bail fresh outta jail, California dreamin
  Soon as I stepped on the scene, Im hearin hooches screamin
  Fiendin for money and alcohol
  The life of a west side playa where cowards die
  Only in Cali where we riot not rally to live and die
  In L.A. we wearin Chucks not Ballies
  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 Rose Grands
  Bumpin and grindin like a slow jam, its west side
  So you know the row wont 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 Sack town
  The Bay Area and back down
  Cali is where they put they mack down, give me 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 rockin, we keep it rockin
  Now make it shake
  Shake it, shake it baby, 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
  Uh, yeah, uh, long beach in tha house, uh yeah
  Oak town, Oakland definitely in tha house, ha ha ha
  Frisco, Frisco, hey, you know L.A. is up in this
  Pasadena, where you at
  Yeah, Inglewood, Inglewood always up to no good
  Even Hollywood tryin to get a piece baby
  Sacramento, Sacramento where ya at? Yeah
  Throw it up yall, throw it up, throw it up
  Lets show these fools how we do this on that west side
  Cause you and I know its tha best side
  Yeah, thats right
  West coast, west coast
  Uh, California love
  California love
