This Is How We Do Ik

Montell Jordan

This is how we do it


[This is how we do it]


La la la la la la la


La la lo lo lo lo oh


[This is how we do it]


La la la la oh


This is how we do it, it's Friday night


And I feel all right


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 shore '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 neighbours you got much flava [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 wanna-be playa


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, 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 neighbours you got much flava [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]


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!


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


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 neighbours you got much flava [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 comin' from the West side [This is how we do it]


OG's got the flava, yeah [This is how we do it]


And Monty doesn't like nobody, doesn't [This is how we do it]


Come on now, Def Jam, you know what it [This is how we do it]


This is how we do it [This is how we do it] baby
