The first thing you see when watching this video is a warning for epilepsy prepares the audience for quick flashes of bright color. The video then shifts into black and white as the focus is completely on a little girl. A total surprise as the audience was preparing for a set of fast pace colors, but end up with black and white pictures accompanied by a slow and sad song. This little girl is walking through the streets alone on her way to school. She has no parental supervision so the slow paced music is intended to for the audience to feel empathy towards this innocent child. Through her walk you can see the ghetto projects and the streets which are so empty it puts a big emphasis on “loneliness”. At the end of her walk the camera goes from focusing on this little girl’s surroundings while walking, and focuses on the little girl completely as she is then covered with flashes of colors.
An act as simple as standing on top of a police car has meaning behind it. By doing this Kanye is implying that he can do whatever he wants because he is powerful. Essentially, in his mind he believes he is above the law.
