I don't understand this video at all, could someone explain it to me and what the deal is with Jimmy's son?

It sounds like it is about a very angry young man. Angry over being abandoned by his alleged father, Jimmy Ruffin.

It also appears that the son, the one that made the video Jimmy Ray Ruffin died back in March 2013.

Haven't found a single news article about any of this or Jimmy Ray's supposed passing in March...

Here is his Facebook page:

Seems that Jimmy Ray was skipping out on child support and Jimmy senior and him didn't get along. This whole thing saddens me. Looking at his Facebook page it seems a lot of people liked him and are saddened by his passing. Not sure whether he was a bad guy or not but may he RIP.

His death was probably mention in a blurb in the UK: Soul legend's son dead or whatever.
