In the video, Kanye West is portrayed as an underpaid driver in an oversized taxicab. It begins with a scene of a wealthy woman and her pet poodle exiting his cab. Upon requesting his tip, she offers him a nickel. The next scene of the animated video depicts a small family of chain smokers. A young boy packs his suitcase with the aid of his mother and grandmother, both of whom have cigarettes in their mouths. Its visual narrative follows West the cab driver picking up the little boy and his mother. A long stream of heavy smoke perpetually trails the child and his mother as they enter West's cab and travel through the bleak, fictional city. Throughout the video, the child's wide, impressionable eyes express his developing social sense as he observes and tries to comprehend and copy the world that he sees around him. They eventually stop at a fuel station. As the woman runs into the gas station to purchase lottery tickets, the child spots and picks up his mother's cigarettes from the cab seat. He tries one and then throws the lit match out of the window into a nearby puddle of gasoline. The car erupts in flames, and both the young boy as well as the driver pass on. The taxicab rockets straight into the sky, where West and the child grow a pair of angel wings. Following his death, the young boy's mother is left to dwell in anguish on Earth as the child moves on and remains in the heavens. Meanwhile, West's angel returns to Earth to continue his job as a cab drivers, a sort of living purgatory.
