Music video

In the video, it starts an introduction about somewhere in "Strong Island", where Busta Rhymes, Charlie Brown, and Dinco D are in high school. Dinco drops his first verse about discussing his best & worst times on how he got in trouble with himself. Then, in the second verse, Busta drops his line about his behavior that he had so much troubles while in class. And in the final verse where Charlie Brown talks about himself being suspended from school and went to court to see the judge. As for people in the hallways running around and people dancing in the lunchroom, the video ends with the group leaving the cafeteria.
