In the video, Joey can be seen fitted with a camel-colored beanie and seated on the floor, surrounded by various designer suitcases, while delving into a romantic rendezvous.
“Uh, sometimes I trip just on how happy we could be/ Fuck it, girl, let’s take a trip, drop all your shit and let’s leave/ You ain’t gotta worry ’bout a thing, got everything that you need/ Anything that you please/ Girl, just follow my lead, baby, yeah/ Don’t you worry ’bout a thing, baby, yeah/ I got everything you need, baby, yeah/ Tell me what it’s gon’ be, baby, yeah,” he spits on the first verse.

The track comes on the heels of reports that Joey’s character, Unique, was being axed from the popular Power spinoffPower Book III: Raising Kanan.
Last week, TMZ caught up with the rapper and his girlfriend Serayah in New York City and asked how he felt about the move. He chalked it up to the professional balancing act he’s been doing over the past couple of years.
“I was very mad. I was upset,” the Pro Era MC said. “Unfortunately, I do have two careers that I’m balancing. So I had to go on tour, and we just kinda couldn’t make it work. So they had to take out Unique. Who knows, though. Maybe we can start a petition or something and tell 50 Cent to bring me back.”
While he didn’t offer any specifics about the tour, he dropped a hint about the aforementioned track, proving he’s a man of his word.

“New music is coming, definitely soon. This month, actually. This is my birthday month, so I’m definitely gon’ put something out in a couple weeks,” said the rapper who is celebrating his 29th birthday on Saturday (January 20th).
