The video also has some scenes alluding to the song's lyrics. In one scene, Ludacris is being chased by two women, when he runs out in the middle of the street and is hit by a bus; this is only an illusion, The track "Ho" from Back for the First Time plays in the background and he performs the rest of the video upside down.
