Music video

The video takes place in front of a liquor store in Los Angeles, and shows Afroman telling his story to his friends, while dancing and crip walking to the beat with them, and others who join in. It also shows him in the various situations he describes, such as riding in a car, being chased by a klansman, and multiple sexual encounters with women, some of which include a green-haired transgender woman from Hollywood, California, and another woman whom he seemingly cannot please, until her boyfriend walks in on them, and violently beats Afroman as retaliation for having an affair with his girlfriend. The last line is a homage to "Rapper's Delight".

This is a remade version of the song which was first featured on Afroman's debut album My Fro-losophy, which was released independently without a record label.
