Ratlin's music video depicts his life story through a series of shots. It begins with him walking down staircases in the morning wearing typical grime culture clothing of a cap, t-shirt, and jeans. Scenes show him smoking a cigarette after rapping about smoking and looking sadly at children playing football while remembering playing in his youth. Close-up shots capture Ratlin rapping with friends, displaying sad emotions when discussing his past, and wearing branded Gucci clothing while describing how he made a life for himself. He directly addresses the camera throughout to tell audiences about his past as a promising football star whose career was derailed and led him to find comfort on the streets instead.
