[edit] Music Video
The video starts in a convenience store where Q-Tip and Phife are buying snacks. Then the clerk askes about all the film equipment outside. Q-Tip tells them that they're shooting a video. The clerk wants to be in it, but they turn him down. When they get outside the moving stage they' re supposed to be filming on starts leaving with Ali on it. Then they run after it, and hundreds of kids are chasing after them. Then they make it on and Q-Tip starts to rap. There are three filming areas. A gate area, the scenes when the group is on the stage and being chased, and when Busta is on top of a deli doing the chorus. Then Phife raps. And Busta is pulling on the gate in front of a crowd. Then Q-Tip does his second verse. When he says Take off your boots cause you can't run the race all the kids stop running. And then the next shots are residents in all the areas. And then the video ends.

This song was also played in the movie Kids in the background of one of the Washington Square Park scenes.
