This video begins with an narrative introduction, it is a woman in an abortion clinic & she decides against the abortion & runs off, the music then starts & the star image of Lil Wayne in an medium shot with a guitar by his side lip synching the lyrics, this shows the performance element of the video as Lil Wayne is part of parallel editing as the video also includes montage editing of a child growing up into an adult.
It represents the hard life a child can face with being in a dysfunctional family, the video also drives a strong amplification narratives the lyrics match the lyrics match the girls in the video growing older the video also has some unconventional techniques in the video, the video is at a slow tempo which Is unconventional for an R’n’B track & it also includes an intro, middle and end narrative where the music is not herd & they are in a hospital. The video also has the special effects of rewinding & replying backwards the montage of the girl growing older & It also includes a positive ending of a montage of the girls daughter growing up with a much happier life so it represents the start of the video as being a mother, then in the middle of the video in the hospital is her offspring, she is the child who was originally in the dysfunctional family and she finds out he has HIV, the positive ending to the video is the ending where her daughter is in the clinic and she has become pregnant which she wants to be.
