Now that we've had a chance to watch the full video for the T.I./Keri Hilson collabo "Got Your Back," we can finally piece together the sweeping romantic narrative contained inside.
At its heart, "Got Your Back" is about a couple sticking it out and staying together even in the face of life's biggest obstacles -- in this case, jail. After being convicted of an unspecified crime and serving about oh 40 seconds in the clink, the video's Romeo (portrayed by an actor; T.I. looks much more dapper in a vest and aviators than in an orange jumpsuit) returns home to his patient lady, with flowers in hand. Love is worth the wait, ya'll.
Also of note: a Scooby-Doo-style rotating wall decorated with his-and-hers wallpaper. On one side, T.I. is spitting verses; on the other, Hilson croons the refrain. There's probably a good metaphor here about there being two sides to every relationship and the cyclical nature of love. Or it's just a really cool effect.
Plus we get to see who's got T.I.'s back in real life, thanks to a cute cameo by his wifey Tameka “Tiny” Cottle at the end. Awwww.
