It then introduces some people, such as Birdman and Fat Joe. The video then shows Rick Ross on a boat with his crew loading drugs. It then flicks to Birdman with various red cars. He sings his verse there and then shows Young Jeezy in a car and then that leads to Lil Wayne in a house. The video concludes with DJ Khaled's outro and Birdman saying that what he is going to do is make a lot of money, which is the overall basis of the song and video. The video was premiered on 106 & Park in January 2008.
