As Missy's verse starts, Missy and the students begin dancing through the chorus. The second verse starts in the cafeteria where Missy has her group of students have a food fight with another group. Also in the cafeteria are Tweet, Eve, and Trina cheering while sitting on a cafeteria table.
In the middle of the video a clip of 'Funky Fresh Dressed' featuring Ms. Jade was played. The 'Funky Fresh Dressed' segment of the video features Elliott and Ms. Jade with green skin in a classroom. Missy begins to aggravate the teacher Faizon Love while Ms. Jade takes over the class with a yardstick as a symbol of power. Ludacris's verse begins directly after the 'Funky Fresh Dressed' segment. He appears to be the principal.
