The beginning of the music video is not as the typical grime video
where its normally in the dark this video starts with Ratlin in the
morning walking down a pair of stair cases however his costume in the
video is still of a grime culture were he is wearing a cap and t-shirt and
jeans.

In this grime video there is
little relation between music
and visuals as he talks
about his past there is
mellow music being played
suggesting that he is sad
about what happened in the
past you can tell this further
due to his facial expressions
however there points were
he talks about the present
which he is happy about
and u can see him smiling
and laughing with his fellow
peers.

him with his mates smiling, close ups of him sad when he
talks about his past there is close up of his clothing when he talks about how his made
a life for himself shows the branded clothing which was
Gucci.

Throughout this video Ratlin looks at the camera directly
which tells us; the viewers that his
telling the audience directly about his story, how at one
point he was such a football star
prospect but that went down the drain
when he got released he left
football and looked to the streets for
comfort.

ce: In this video there is not
much intertexual if any
reference and this is
due to the fact that its
him alone in the video
rapping about his past
so there is no intertexual reference.
