Music video
An official music video was directed by Sergio and premiered on October 4, 2018. It is 11 minutes long and stars actors Lauren London (Hussle's then-girlfriend) and Jackie Long. The video's story begins in 2007, portraying Hussle as a drug dealer and London's character as an "apprentice". Hussle teaches London about how to sell drugs and asks her to make a drop-off to a client. London is almost caught by police, so she quits the job. Ten years later, Nipsey visits a mansion he is looking to buy and reunites with London, who is married to the seller (played by Long) and reintroduced as "Stacy". The man, who does not know of Nipsey and Stacy's past relationship, has his wife give Hussle a tour. Hussle purchases the house and hosts a housewarming party, inviting Stacy and Long. Stacy comes without her husband. Nipsey and Stacy spend time walking on the beach together during the party. At the end of the video, Hussle reveals he also has a new partner, whom he introduces to Stacy.
Belly and Dom Kennedy also appear in the video, in which they perform their verses during the party at the pool, which is filled with women.
Regarding the video, Nipsey Hussle told 'Billboard', "We wanted to expand on the idea of [the song] by telling a story of an abandoned love affair between a young hustler and his girl. The lifestyle ends up being too much for the girl and she leaves unexpectedly. Years later, the young hustler ends up fully legit and successful and runs into the girl and that interaction is where the story continues." He also added that the narrative was "autobiographical".
