The video begins with Jelly Donut (Andrew Bancroft) and his co-worker, Hinky Dink (Kenny Taylor), waiting for customers in an empty doughnut shop. A sugar daddy (Kid Beyond), and two women come into the shop and begin ordering Jelly D around. Then his boss, Bob (Paco Romane), enters the room and tells him to hurry up. This is too much for Jelly D, and he becomes enraged about his economic circumstance. He then raps about what it would be like to make "maximum wage".[3]
