Music Video
A simple black and white video was recorded for the song and it was aired at least once (probably the only time) on MTV by Trevor Nelson. The video features Simone singing the vocals and Melanie and Shaznay dancing and doing the background vocals.
The video has a Salt-n-Pepa-feeling about it and is reminiscent of the early hip-hop genre. Intermixed in the dancing and singing performance is some footage of rappers which are set in colour unlike the rest of the video.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“As polishing expresses the vein in marble, and grain in wood, so music brings out what of heroic lurks anywhere. The hero is the sole patron of music.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“These people figured video was the Lord’s preferred means of communicating, the screen itself a kind of perpetually burning bush. “He’s in the de-tails,” Sublett had said once. “You gotta watch for Him close.””
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
