[Intro]
This is how we do it
 Fm7- Gb  
La la la la la la...
[Verse 1] [drums only]
This is how we do it.
It's Friday night, and I feel all right
The party is here on the West side
So addI rebassach for my 40 and I turn it up
Designated driver take the keys to my truck
Hit the shore 'cause I'm faded
Honeys in the street say, "Monty, yo we made it!"
Fm7It feels so good in my hood toniGbght
The Fm7summertime skirts and the guys in Kani
All the gang bangers forgGbot about the drive-by
Fm7You gotta get your groove on, before you go get paiGbd
So Fm7tip up your cup and throw your hands up
And let me hear the party Gbsay
[Hook]
Fm7I'm kinda buzzed and it's all because
(This is how we Gbdo it)
Fm7South Central does it like nobody does
(This is how we Gbdo it)
Fm7To all my neighbors you got much flavor
(This is how we Gbdo it)
Fm7Let's flip the track, bring the old school back
(This is how we Gbdo it)
[Verse 2] [bass, drums only]
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
A hundred-dollar bills y'all
Fm7If you were from where I'm from then you would kGbnow
That I Fm7gotta get mine in a big black truck
You can get yours in a 'Gb64
Fm7Whatever it is, the party's underwGbay
So Fm7tip up your cup and throw your hands up
And let me hear the party Gbsay
[Hook]
Fm7I'm kinda buzzed and it's all because
(This is how we Gbdo it)
Fm7South Central does it like nobody does
(This is how we Gbdo it)
Fm7To all my neighbors you got much flavor
(This is how we Gbdo it)
Fm7Let's flip the track, bring the old school back
(This is how we Gbdo it)
Fm7I'm kinda buzzed and it's all because
(This is how we Gbdo it)
Fm7South Central does it like nobody does
(This is how we Gbdo it)
Fm7YNV, SCC, all my homies
(This is how we Gbdo it)
Fm7I'll never come wack on an old school track
(This is how we Gbdo it)
[Rap] [drums only]
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 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'll make in a dash
[Outro]
Fm7I'm kinda buzzed and it's all because
(This is how we Gbdo it)
Fm7South Central does it like nobody does
(This is how we Gbdo it)
Fm7To all my neighbors you got much flavor
(This is how we Gbdo it)
Fm7I'll never come wack on an old school track
(This is how we Gbdo it)
