Music videos demonstrate specific genre characteristics
There is a relationship between lyrics and visuals
The lyrics in this song are about selling cocaine, which is what Stitches references as "bricks". At one point in the song, the lyrics are: "I love selling blow", and as this is happening during the music video, the visuals are of Stitches throwing cocaine bricks everywhere and 'partying'/celebrating because of his love for selling cocaine and being a drug dealer. In addition, some lyrics in the song go "I put that brick in yo face, now what you gunna do with it?" and the visuals throughout the music video support this because at one point, we see Stitches throwing a 'brick' at (what is assumed) a client of his drug business, ad he's asking him to sell the brick of cocaine for him, ready to have his money for when he 'comes to collect'.
