[edit] Music video

In the music video it begins with MC Ren talking to two other guys at a home. Then while the song begins they field a van under a very rainy weather. Then they get off the van and Ren gets into Eazy-E's grave which is in Compton. While he builds another grave beside Eazy's grave a zombie chases after Ren and his friends and an Eazy look-a-like comes out from the grave with the zombie being running away and during the time the song begins to fade out.[3]
