[00:35.50]And I feel all right
[00:38.50]The party's here on the West side
[00:40.50]So I reach for my 40 and I turn it up
[00:43.50]Designated driver take the keys to my truck
[00:45.50]Hit the shore 'cause I'm faded
[00:48.50]Honeys in the street say, \"Monty, yo we made it!\"
[00:50.50]It feels so good in my hood tonight
[00:54.50]The summertime skirts and the guys in Kani
[00:57.50]All the gang bangers forgot about the drive-by
[01:00.50]You gotta get your groove on, before you go get paid
[01:03.50]So tip up your cup and throw your hands up
[01:06.50]And let me hear the party say
[01:08.50]I'm kinda buzzed and it's all because [This is how we do it]
[01:13.50]South Central does it like nobody does [This is how we do it]
[01:17.50]To all my neighbours you got much flava [This is how we do it]
[01:22.50]Let's flip the track, bring the old school back [This is how we do it]
[01:27.50]This is how we do it, all hands are in the air
[01:31.50]And wave them from here to there
[01:34.50]If you're an O.G. mack or a wanna-be playa
[01:36.50]You see the hood's been good to me
[01:38.50]Ever since I was a lower-case G
[01:41.50]But now I'm a big G, the girls see I got the money
[01:44.50]Hundred dollar bills y'all
[01:45.50]If you were from where I'm from then you would know
[01:50.50]That I gotta get mine in a big black truck
[01:52.50]You can get yours in a '64
[01:55.50]Whatever it is, the party's underway
[01:59.50]So tip up your cup and throw your hands up
