This Is How We Do It Lyrics

This Is How We Do It

This is how we do it
La ra ra ra ra ra...

This is how we do it.
It's Friday night, and I feel all right
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 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

1- 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 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

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
(repeat 1...)

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, all my homies
(This is how we do it)
I'll never come wack on an old school track

Rap:

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

(repeat 1, ad lib to fade...)

I love this song...cause I live on the south side of town...and when the part that goes:

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)

Love the Slick Rick sample-Children's Story

I might be wrong, but this song is all about drugs, hence the reference to the 'trailers', brilliantly put together, he sings and raps...

Cover art for This Is How We Do It lyrics by Montell Jordan

No, its about partying and having a good time. Get a little faded, dance with some girls...

The last verse is just about blowin' up and making it big.

ya this song is about partying and just how if its a good party everythings gunna go your way.

"All the gang bangers forgot about the drive-by"

meaning its such a good party that the gang bangers are more focused on fun than killing.

One my favorite songs! I know what SCC is, but what is YNV mean?

Cover art for This Is How We Do It lyrics by Montell Jordan

For those who don't know, Y?n-Vee(pronounced "Y-N-V") and South Central Cartel(SCC) were label-mates of Montell's at the time, through the Rush Associated Labels division of Def Jam Recordings. The Line "YNV, SCC is a good old fashioned shout-out to colleagues
