Greeting Iyaman, it is good to hear from you and I do hope you and your family are in the best of health, including your entire African village. The lyrics of the song which you posted, is really speaking of the things which took place practically in the early days. When a Rastafari person was put in jail in those early days, he was not even concerned too much about whether he was imprisoned or not, his greatest concern, was that he gets a chance to use the court house as a public platform to rebuke Babylon through the Judge who was acting as the representative of babylon. Judges were asked, who gave them authority to be Judging Rastafari people, In those days Rastafari people would always travel with their prayer sticks of rods, and would often appear in court with it, to which the police would be instructed to take away from the Ras, hoping that they would provoke a fight in court, but they were always disappointed, since Rastafari people in those days, were always teaching peace and love. Rastafari people were always able to discern babaylon's intention and be ahead of them from time to time.
Take the best care of yourself and your people.
Again I send many oceans of blessings and self determination to African people everywhere
