The music video opens with a black screen and writing of the artists name.
The first actual shot you see is before the music starts which is of royal tee setting up his microphone on stage.
There is then another black screen with writing of the song title.
The second shot is just as the music comes in which is the piano, so the shot is a long shot of the grandfather playing the piano or the pianist from the jazz bar playing it. As the artist says 'peace world' there is a shot of him looking over the city and looking at all the opportunities there are in front of him, this is also the CD cover image. Just before the lyrics come in there is a shot of the artist in his bedroom as the first word he says is 'good morning'.
we then see the artist walking out of his bedroom as he says 'where the breakfast at?' this scene takes place in his kitchen which includes a variety of shots and camera editing techniques one of which is a stop motion picture sequence of the cup of orange juice filling up.
As the artist says 'you know the routine I only vibe to the classics' we decided to use an old cassette player in the shot which is a play on the fact that he listens to old music. After this there is a future cut of him in the jazz bar performing a few lines of the lyrics. It then cuts back to him in the kitchen finishing his food and staring out of the window.
There is a medium shot of him picking up his bag and leaving the front door. As he is walking down the street he spots a younger person that is sad on the street so three is a two shot of the artist giving the kid a few kind words.
as he carries on his journey through the street to the jazz bar we see a side shot of him walking past an alleyway with people inside it doing drugs and looking like thugs as the line is 'surrounded by crooks'. There is then another shot of him in the jazz bar performing a few lines before it goes back to the two shot of the artist and the sad child in the street telling him not to get discouraged.
It then goes back to the performance in the jazz bar where the camera pans around his head, then there is a medium shot directly in front of the artist performing where it then zooms to an extreme close up of the artists mouth smiling.
There is then a medium shot of the grandfather 'pop dukes' with writing on the screen introducing him (the writing is the same font as the writing from the start of the video to keep to the theme).
a two shot of the artist and his grandfather talking on a bench with a close pan around the grandfathers head to show the grey hairs on his head which according to the lyrics represent wisdom.
there is then a medium to long shot of the artist getting up and leaving the grandfather to continue on his journey, as he gets up he says half of the lyrics before the background changed to the jazz bar. It then cuts back to the street where he spots his brother dealing drugs on a street corner and his brother (like pop dukes) is introduced with writing of the same font on the screen.
Two shot of the artist and his brother as royal tee grabs his brother trying to tell him to spot what he is doing and to focus on his future (conveying a positive message). there is then a high angle shot of him in front of a group of people as he says he is coming with an army then there is a matching high angle shot of him performing in the jazz bar.
close up of artists face in jazz bar performing. long shot near graffiti 'or maybe its you'. medium long shot of royal tee walking in jazz bar followed by a two shot of royal tee shaking hands with the jazz bar owner.
two shot of someone offering royal tee quick cash scheme leaflet in a busy street with royal tee rejecting it as the line is 'but everything you offering I do for myself'. Extreme close up of his shoes 'fresh daily salvage denim with ruff and my runaway chucks'
high angle shot of the artist performing in the jazz bar followed by a medium shot of the performance followed by a series of shots relating to the performance as it is the final chorus. when the chorus is finish and the song ends with the piano chords the song title appears with either a black background or the sky with a fade to white.
