california...knows how to party. 
in the citaaay of  
in the citaaay of good ol  watts 
in the citaaay, 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
