This is How We Do it

This is How We Do it

This is how we do it!
(This is how we do it)
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-lo
Shabada-lo-lo-lo, whoa
(This is how we do it!)
Lo-lo-lo-low, oh, oh

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 'cause I'm faded
Honies 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 gangbangers 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 OG 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 '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 and it's all because (this is how we do it)
South Central does it like nobody does (this is how we do it)
YN-Vee, SCC (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
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 makin' tha' dash

Ohh, I'm buzzin' 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 and it's all because (this is how we do it)
South Central does it like nobody does (this is how we do it)

Oh, it's party time (this is how we do it)
Straight up comin' 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 (this is how we do it)
C'mon now, Def Jam, you know what it is (this is how we do it)

Yo, Montell, this Percy, man
The barber, your barber
Man, I'm sitting up here listening to ya tape, dude
And this shit is on, man
You gon' make it, fool
Keep on doing what you doing, man
My phone number is area code
Nine, oh, nine, zero, eighty
Gimme a call, man
We getting ready to step out to the Fox Hills Mall right now
But, uh
It's Monday morning, about a quarter to eleven, peace
