Music video

The music video is directed by Gil Green and recorded in Little Haiti, Miami. The video uses a theme similar to "COPS" but it's named "Five-O". Two police officers suspect an illegal activity by two suspects, which they target Elephant Man and Wyclef. At first, they're being followed and pulled over. The policemen conduct a search on the vehicle and find a "possible concealed weapon" and try to arrest the suspects. However, they resist arrest and attempt to escape the policemen. The video shows a cameo of Reggaeton artist Tego Calderón.
