"This Is How We Do It" lyrics

This is how we do it
This is how we do it
This is how we do it

This is how we do it
It's Friday night
And I feel alright
The party is here on the West Side

So I reach for my 40 and I turn it up
Designated driver, take the keys to my truck
Hit the 'shaw [Crenshaw] 'cause I'm faded
Honeys in the street say, "Monty, yo! We made it!"

It feels so good
In my hood
Tonight
The summertime skirts and the guys in Kani
All the gang bangers forgot about the drive-by

You gotta get your groove on before you go get paid
So tip up your cup
And throw your hands up
And let me hear the party say

I'm kinda buzzed
And it's all because
(This is how we do it)
South Central does it like nobody does
(This is how we do it)
To all my neighbors
You got much flavor
(This is how we do it)
Let's flip the track
Bring the old school back
(This is how we do it)

This is how we do it
All hands are in the air
And wave them from here to there
If you're an O.G. mack or a wanna-be player

You see the hood's been good to me
Ever since I was a lower-case G
But now I'm a big G
The girls see I got the money
Hundred-dollar bills y'all

If you were from where I'm from then you would know
That I gotta get mine in a big black truck
You can get yours in a '64

Whatever it is, the party's underway
So tip up your cup
And throw your hands up
And let me hear the party say

I'm kinda buzzed
And it's all because
(This is how we do it)
South Central does it like nobody does
(This is how we do it)
To all my neighbors
You got much flavor
(This is how we do it)
Let's flip the track
Bring the old school back
(This is how we do it)

I'm kinda buzzed
It's all because
(This is how we do it)
South Central does it like nobody does, nobody does
(This is how we do it)
YNV, SCC
(This is how we do it)
All my homies
I'll never come wack
On an old school track
(This is how we do it)

Check it out!
Once upon a time in '94
Montell made no money
And life sure was slow
And all they said was 6'8" he stood
And people thought the music that he made was good

There lived a D.J
And Paul was his name
He came up to Monty
This is what he said
"You and OG are gonna make some cash
Sell a million records and we're making a dash."

Oh, I'm buzzing because
(This is how we do it)
South Central does it like nobody does
(This is how we do it)
To all my neighbors
You got much flavor
(This is how we do it)
I'll never come wack
On an old school track
(This is how we do it)

I'm kinda buzzed
It's all because
(This is how we do it)
South Central does it like nobody does, nobody does
(This is how we do it)
Oh, it's party time
(This is how we do it)
Straight up coming from the West Side
(This is how we do it)

OG got the flavor
(This is how we do it)
And Monty does it like nobody does it
(This is how we do it)
Come on now. Def Jam. You know what it
(This is how we do it)
...
(This is how we do it)
