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

    Bm 
The party is here on the West side 
     A 
So I reach for my 40 and I turn it up 
Em 
Designated driver take the keys to my truck 
Bm 
  Hit the shore 'cause I'm faded 
A 
Honeys in the street say, "Monty, yo we made it!" 
Em                       Bm 
  It feels so good in my hood 

  tonight 

    Bm                        A 
The summertime skirts and the guys in Kani 
Em 
All the gang-bangers forgot about the drive-by 
Bm 
  You gotta get your groove on, 
A 
before you go get paid 
   Em 
So tip up your cup and throw your hands up 
    Bm 
And let me hear the party say 

Bm                        A 
I'm kinda buzzed and it's all because 
Em 
(This is how we do it) 
      Bm                   A 
South Central does it like nobody does 
Em 
(This is how we do it) 
   Bm                   A 
To all my neighbors you got much flavor 
Em 
(This is how we do it) 
      Bm                           A 
Let's flip up the track, bring the old school back 
Em 
(This is how we do it) 

Bm 
This is how we do it, 
    A 
all hands are in the air 
    Em 
And wave them from here to there 
             Bm             A               Em 
If you're an O.G. mack or a wanna-be player 

(NC) 
You see the hood's been good to me 

Ever since I was a lower-case G 

But now I'm a big G. 

money, hundred-dollar bills y'all 

   Bm           A 
If you were from where I'm from then 
Em 
   you would know 
Bm                         A 
That I gotta get mine in a big black truck 
        Em 
You can get yours in a '64 
Bm 
   Whatever it is, 
    A 
the party's underway 
   Em 
So tip up your cup and throw your hands up 
    Bm 
And let me hear the party say 

(Chorus)
