The video shows how will.i.am is using ever larger, futuristic vehicles to move faster. Starting with a bicycle , a motorcycle , a car , a train , a jet fighter to a rocket . He is hindered by various objects, but encouraged by Jennifer Lopez until he gets to heaven and with it Mick Jagger . It is repeated again and again: "You can go hard or you can go home."
