I think Burning Spear sings that because there's been a lack of recoginition of Christ's true origin. The I sings that because the Bible has been distorted and used to centre the West yet it begins as Genesis records, where the Pishon and Gihon and Niles meet, in the the Motherland Africa. The I sings that because Black people have been told they are the cursed sons and daughters, and they are not, they are the Judaic Christians and so Rasta will not 'divorce' itself from Christianity when Rasta hails from that very dynasty. Burning Spear is rebelling against centuries and milleniums of distortion, denial and oppressed truths thus wants this truth to be known, that from the Solomonic line was the Lion of Judah, let the world know this, let them know the Black Jesse Christ reigneth, chant His name Sellasie, over and over and know He is the King of Kings, Almighty Bless.
