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 uses an interpolation of "Summer Madness" by Kool & the Gang. 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 his Greatest Hits album.

The song first appeared on the soundtrack of the 1993 film Surf Ninjas. It is also featured in the video game Grand Theft Auto V, created by Rockstar Games, which is also the third time one of Ice Cube songs was featured in a Grand Theft Auto game, the first two being "It Was a Good Day" and "Check Yo Self", both on Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Eventually Mariah Carey sampled "You Know How We Do It" in her song "Irresistible (West Side Connection)" from her 2002 album Charmbracelet; not coincidentally it features Ice Cube as part of the hip hop supergroup the Westside Connection, which also included Mack 10 and WC.
