The music video starts off with Nelly in a car with rapper Ali, singing along to "Down In Da Water". He arrives at a cave, and walks through, as the music starts to play. It continues with Nelly rapping, and many girls dancing around him. As the music video comes to an end, it shows the scene at exactly the start of the video for "My Place".
