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 '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 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 '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) 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!
