There were four music videos releases for the songs in Till Death Do Us Part, one for "Six Feet Deep", "Crooked Officer", "Straight Gangstaism" and "Street Life". The music video for "Street Life" was originally released for the song as an individual single for the soundtrack of the movie South Central and was also added to the album. The album version for "Straight Gangstaism" features two verses by Big Mike and one by his group-mate from Convicts, Mr. 3-2 and was released as a single to boost Big Mike's popularity as a member of the Geto Boys, but to avoid confusion amongst fans and to improve promotion, the video version (and the radio edit) adds a fourth verse by Scarface to the end of the song.
