Music video

The video was filmed in 1998, but wasn't released until March 1999. In the music video, will.i.am is in hospital because his left shoulder is badly wounded. A doctor tells him all the doctors are unavailable, so he looks for another doctor. Will sees a man get off his wheelchair and strangle another patient, all the doctors and nurses try to get him off while will.i.am is trying to get past, he knocks over a tray of pills. Kim Hill pushes will.i.am out of the way to get to a patient. While will.i.am is rapping his verse, apl.de.ap is seen pushing a bed with a blue blanket over the body and Taboo is seen in a safety mask and a white scarf on his head. When the chorus starts again, will.i.am is back to where he came from, and the same thing happens again; apl sings the verse this time round. When will.i.am is back to where was started for the third time, he gets fed up, and leaves. We see everything happen for the third time, will.i.am walks through another door and notices that he's stuck in the hospital. Taboo then says to will.i.am, "You can't run away". Einstein Brown is shown with a knife is then seen singing "One Way or Another" with Taboo. Will falls on the floor and starts to crawl and the pills fall on him. The video ends as one of the nurses steps over Will.
