This is how we do it (This is how we do it)

Sha, la, la, la, la, la, la

Sha, la, la, la, la, la, oh (This is how we do it)

La, la, la-la, la, la, la, la, oh

This is how we do it

It's Friday night and I feel alright

The party's 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 '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 'em from here to there

If you're an O.G. mack or a wannabe 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 six-four

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, it's all because (This is how we do it)

Ooh, 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)

Y?N-Vee, S.C.C., all my homies (This is how we do it)

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 DJ and Paul was his name

He came up to Monty, this is what he said

"You and Oji are gonna make some cash

Sell a million records, and we're making the 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's got the flavor, yeah (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 that this is how we do it (This is how we do it)

This is how we do it (This is how we do it)
