Music video
The song's music video begins with a shot of B-Real sitting in his car trying make a call on his cellphone. After his phone dies, he exits the vehicle to use a payphone after leaving a $50 bill in a homeless man's cup and taking a quarter out of the cup. As he tries to make the call, he discovers the phone's line has been cut. As he turns around, he sees a group of hooded men start to form around him and the homeless man drives off in his car and the men start to give chase through city.
Meanwhile, Sen Dog is sitting at home drinking a beer on the couch. As he goes to the fridge to get another, someone suddenly knocks at the door. As he exits the house he sees many people moshing on his front lawn before he joins in himself. His family exits the house to find that he is actually by himself, looking on in confusion.
The video returns to B-Real who is still running through the streets. He turns down an alley and his trapped. As the men finally catch up to him they remove their hoods and reveal that they are actually all different versions of B-Real himself.
Shots of the band performing the song are inter-cut with the video's story.[2]
