Imma Be is a Leverage vid set to the song Imma Be, by the Black Eyed Peas.

The vid uses the vocal changes in the song, where sections are performed by different vocalists, to showcase character-focused looks at Parker, Hardison and Eliot individually. Each of these opening sections uses both the lyrics and the video to illuminate three very unique individuals. Parker: "Imma be spreadin' my wings." Hardison: "Imma be brilliant with my millions." Eliot: "Imma be up in the club/Doin' whatever I like."

As the song moves into multiple vocalists, so does the vid, and we see our three characters as a group in various scenes that show them still as individuals, but with a stable dynamic when they are three together. Or as stable as any group containing these three gets.
