This is how we do it

sha-la-la-la-la-la-ow...

sha-la-la-la-la-la-oh...

sha-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 forty

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

South Central does it

like nobody does

to all my neighbours

you got much flavour

let's flip the track

bring the old school back

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

Ooh, SouthCentral does it

like nobody does

to all my neighbours

you got much flavour

let's flip the track

bring the old-school back

I'm kinda buzzed

it's all because

South Central does it

like nobody does, nobody does

Y.N.V., S.C.C., all my homies

I'll never come whack

on an oldschool track

Check it out!

once upon a time in ninety-four

Montell made no money

and life sure was slow

and all they said was

six-eight, 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'll make in a dash

Oh, I'm buzzin', because

south-central does it

like nobody does

to all my neighbours

you got much flavour

I'll never come whack

on an old school track

I'm kinda buzzed

it's all because

South Central does it

like nobody does, nobody does

oh, it's party time

straight up

comin' from the west-side

O.G. got the flavour, yeah

and Monty does it

like nobody does it

come on, now

Def Jam, you know that

how we do it

and this is how we do it

ooh-yeah
