A music video was shot for the song, in which G-Unit are involved in a meeting with many of the world's various gang leaders. Near the end of the video, G-Unit soldiers, including The Game, arrive to support 50 Cent and convince the gang leaders to back down & give in to G-Unit's demands. Due to Tony Yayo being incarcerated, he was unable to appear in the song, however, he is referenced in the video with G-Unit owning a company called Yayo's Trucking Co. The music video on YouTube has received over 145 million views as of May 2024.[1]
