2pac - California Love lyrics

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 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 s** We in that sunshine state with a bomb a** 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 serving fiends I been in the game for ten years making rap tunes Ever since honeys was wearing Sa**oon 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 the Bay Your city is the bomb if your city making pay Throw up a finger if ya feel the same way Dre putting it down for Californ-I-a California (California) knows how to party (knows how to party!)
