Music video

The music video features Webbie performing in a room with three screens, each of which showcases a classroom filled with young women actively watching a news report covering the President's State of Address and the dire state of the war. As she watches the address, one student begins to visualize herself earning a degree, becoming a doctor, and winning the Nobel Prize. It culimates with the impeachment of the current President (Bush) and of the first female African-American President. After assuming her position, she proclaims her plans towards peace in the Middle East to the class' applause. The video closes with one final screen that displays a dedication to Pimp C.
