Over 13Â years ago Jeru Da Damaja warned wannabe gangsters in Wrath of the Math,
I never knew hustlers, confessed in stereo.
Or on video,
get caught you’ll know who turned State’s Evidence,
murder weapon, confession and fingerprints.
Mama always said watch what comes out your mouth.
Tight case for the DA from here to down South.
Knowledge wisdom understanding like King Solomon’s wealth.
You’re a player but only because you be playin yourself.
Jah-Youth Sutton probably wasn’t paying attention in 1996 as a 7-year old out in Jersey when this track first broke.
He probably should have when he posted a video on YouTube, where he was laughing at a mother crying at the morgue, talking about his hollow tip bullets, and threatening presumed rival gangs while extensively pointing gang signs at the camera.
Sutton was out on bail for the alleged murder of Darius Powell, 20, pistol-whipping him to death when in 2006, when he was only 17.
Circuit Judge Kenneth R. Melvin was not impressed during sentencing yesterday. Sutton was given 25 years’ active time, 18 years suspended, and 10 years’ supervised probation.
Let’s hope his supervision includes his YouTube channel.
