 The video begins with a shot of a yacht out on water , which then segues to an image of the Statue of Liberty : the words " Nas " and " The Don " have been superimposed in mid @-@ air on the left and right @-@ hand sides of the statue respectively . After quickly moving between various images of New York City , Nas is shown sitting at a table at an open air restaurant with a female , at which point he raps the opening lyrics of the song . Again , the video moves rapidly between images , this time addressing Nas ' lifestyle , with shots of sunglasses , jackets and shirts all featured . Shortly following this , Nas is escorted into a white Rolls Royce , wearing a white suit . He is then shown standing in a ring of fire set up on the ground , whilst continuing to recite lyrics from the song .
