Cali’s All That

Lyrics

[Intro: Def Jef] Hey man How many times I gotta tell you? I'm a businessman I'm making moves I'm making moves constantly, man So you know what you gotta do? Yo, you gotta talk to me quick While we do that shit, y'all Alright, check it out We goin' drop it something like this And tell you why we think Cali is all that [Verse 1: Def Jef] Cali's all that, that's why I'm camping out here It's crazy cool, so I'm lamping out here For right now because the money is good Plus, I get to kick it with the boys in the hood Hollywood reminds me of 42nd Street But the cops out here don't walk the beat I got to get in my car when I want to jet out And drive kind of far cause everything's so spread out But I don't really mind, I just put my top down, boom my system And play my hip-hop sound Big cars and movie stars don't impress me with their wealth Because I'm living kind of large myself I'm getting paper What I mean is I'm getting paid Cooling in Cali under a palm tree shade It ain't where you from, it's where you at But you gotta come to Cali 'cause it's all that [Chorus] California knows how to party California knows how to party [Verse 2: Def Jef] Yo, I'm telling you- you- You're gonna let me tell your boss He can take his job and shove it Go home, pack your bags, but leave your umbrella Remember, it never rains in southern California Every day it's sunny and bright but it's chilly at night So take your sweater and you'll be alright You never know who you might run into Every day something new is nothing but something to do So me and the crew roll to Roscoe's to eat Then we roll down to Venice Beach We each got blunts so it's all good to go Hooty bang in a flow and you know At the beach, we don't lay in the sand and get a tan We walk the strip And see the honey dips And itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini Believe me when I say Cali's all that [Chorus] California knows how to party California knows how to party California knows how to party California knows how to party [Interlude] [Verse 3: Tone Lōc] Yeah Love's in the house California style I was praised and raised on the set side, not the best side But the funky funky ass Westside You and your crew, whatcha gonna do? Jump in the pool, watch your eyes, it might be full of brew And everything is smooth and kicking And don't worry about the women 'cause they love attention I must admit, it's filled with cliques But the brothers on top don't deal with the bullshit They get to the party, have a sip of Bacardi Be hearty and act like it's Mardi Gras I saw you looking at what I was doing I got a rump and you know I ain't barbequing Here's a chance to unwind in the sunshine Every day a splash of Tanqueray I've been all over the world And I love to come back Because Cali's all that [Chorus] California knows how to party (Yeah, you know) (You know what I'm saying) (Word up) (Love's in the house) California knows how to party (Chilling with Def Jef) (You know it) California knows how to party (California style right here) (Wassup player) (You know the deal) California knows how to party (Checking them skeez, huh?) [Verse 4: Def Jef] Some people come to Cali to make it Some people are phonies so they front and fake it Some people make it to the top So don't diss nobody You see the same faces on the way down when you drop Pop the cork on the Moët and just flow it The poet with soul and let's roll To Hollywood Hills for another pool party And you know that means, crazy food and crazy hotties Not to mention the chronic sticky green An LA-type scene I used to think that Cali was all suckers and Jheri curls But they got some down brothers and fly girls So when you're ready to make that move Give me a ring, get the next flight And Friday night, we can swing it And you can see for yourself where it's at Come to Cali 'cause it's all that [Chorus] California knows how to party (Ha, yeah) California knows how to party (And you don't, and you can't, and you won't stop) California knows how to party (C'mon) California knows how to party [Outro: Def Jef] Yo, you gotta come out here and check it out Money, it's all that Man, you know what I'm saying The sun, the fun, the palm trees You know what I'm saying? I be rolling down Sunset Boulevard puffing a mac Well now, you really can't puff on the street If you puff, you gotta be on the freeway You know? 'Cause 5-0 don't even play that They catch you and they give you an Ultramagnetic MCs Critical Beatdown, word up But you gotta come out here 'cause Cali's fly man, word up See ya
