The clip opens with the “House of Lies” actor portraying a mean cop who is about to interrogate the rapper using a lie detector. After going into a trance, he becomes an alternative manifestation of Lamar and starts lip-syncing the lyrics of the song. When the rapper is freed, he goes into the street, where his homies await for him. The rest of the video includes a group of women going wild in a car, and one scene even shows Lamar in a coffin.
