Music video
The video starts in a convenience store where Q-Tip and Phife Dawg are buying snacks. When they get outside, the video shoot's moving stage drives away with Ali on it. As they run after it, kids chase them. After catching up with it and getting on, Q-Tip begins to rap.

Near the end, when Q-Tip says, "Take off your boots 'cause you can't run the race", the children stop running.
