"You Know How We Do It" is the second single from Ice Cube's fourth studio album Lethal Injection. It was released as a 12" single on February 2,1994. A G-funk hit which has the same kind of mood and feeling from The Predator. It samples "The Show Is Over" by Evelyn Champagne King, and eventually Mariah Carey sampled it in her song Irresistible (Westside Connection) from her 2002 album Charmbracelet. At the time of the album's release, sales were poor; in part by Dr. Dre and other Death Row artists dominating the radio stations. Although Lethal Injection received poor reviews by critics, this single stoodout from the rest of the album and was considered a West Coast classic. It was later featured on the Ice Cube's Greatest Hits album.

Music Video

The music video was filmed in Las Vegas, Nevada and featured Ice Cube driving in a Low-rider and standing on top of casinos.

Chart Performance

The single was 100 sales away in the UK from getting into the top 40. In the U.S. sales the song peaked at #30.
