[Verse 1]
    F5        F#5  Gm                             F5
Now let me welcome everybody to the Wild Wild West
       F#5 Gm
A state    that's untouchable like Eliot Ness
    F5         F#5  Gm
The track hits your eardrum like a slug to your chest
F5         F#5 Gm
Pack a vest    for your Jimmy in the city of sex
   F5         F#5 Gm                                   F5
We in that sun___shine state where the bomb ass hemp be
         F#5 Gm                                      F5
The state    where you never find a dance floor empty
         F#5 Gm                             F5
And pimps    be on a mission for them greens
     F#5 Gm                                    F5
Lean mean  money making machines servin' fiends
       F#5 Gm                                F5
I been in  the game for ten years makin' rap tunes
F#5
Gm                                 F5
  Ever since honeys was wearin' Sassoon
    F#5  Gm
Now it's '95 and they clock me and watch me
F5       F#5 Gm
Diamonds shinin',
                            F5
lookin' like I robbed Liberace
     F#5 Gm                           F5
It's all   good, from Diego to the Bay
       F#5 Gm
Your city  is the bomb if your city makin' pay
F5    F#5
Throw up
Gm                                 F5
  a finger if you feel the same way
    F#5    Gm
Dre puttin'  it down for California

[Verse 2]
      F#5   Gm
bail, fresh out of jail,
California dreamin'
     F5        F#5 Gm
Soon as I step on  the scene,
I'm hearin' hoochies screamin'
    F5         F#5 Gm
Fiendin' for money and alcohol,
                  F5      F#5
the life of a Westside player
Gm
Where cowards die and the strong ball
  F5      F#5 Gm
Only in Cali  where we riot, not rally,
to live and die
F5
In L.A.
F#5 Gm
we  wearin' Chucks, not Ballys (Yeah,
       F5
that's right)
               F#5 Gm
Dressed in Locs    and Khaki suits,
                      F5
and ride is what we do
         F#5 Gm                                       F5
Flossin' but have caution: we collide with other crews
       F#5 Gm
Famous be_cause we throw grams
Worldwide,
F5         F#5 Gm
let them recognize from Long Beach to Rosecrans
   F5           F#5  Gm
Bumpin' and grindin' like a slow jam
It's Westside,
F5          F#5 Gm
so you know the Row won't bow down to no man
    F5
Say what you say,
F#5
Gm
  but give me that bomb beat from Dre
F5       F#5 Gm
Let me sere_nade the streets of L.
              F5
A From Oakland
      F#5 Gm
to Sac___town,
                      F5
the Bay Area and back down
F#5 Gm
Ca_li is where they put their mack down;
give me love!
