The Glory of the Kings is a track that brings to light the Ancient Ethiopian Religious Book called the Kebra Nagast. This lyric examines kingship or royalty, in accordance with the standards set forth in the Ethiopian, Kebra Nagast. This ancient book gives credence to the Ethiopia monarchs, descended from the line of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, to sit upon the Imperial Throne of Ethiopia.Its main content therefore is the story from the Creation of Zion, God’s dwelling place, to it’s replication on earth in the form of the Ark of the Covenant, made by Moses, to its transformation from Israel to Ethiopia by Menelik I, son of the aforementioned monarchs. The book goes on to detail not only how this Solomonic Dynasty came to have the authority to rule Ethiopia, but more importantly, what quality these monarchs should possess, before given this honour.Imani through this lyric, summarise to the best of his ability, with so few words, the entirety book. Anyone who has had the opportunity to read this book, would agree, is not a bad attempt. Imani focuses on the main themes, Zion, the Kings, and the Covenant and blessing, outlined in this book. Including the fact that HIM Haile Selassie I, exemplified the qualities set forth in the Kebra Nagast as a rightful heir, as well as represented, its fulfilment as the King of Zion, who would awaken, as well as identify and find the Lost Children of Zion, in the Final Days, in accordance with the prophesy contained in both the Kebra Nagast and the Christian-Jewish Bible.[/su_spoiler]

for the ones that have lost their way,
from the ancient book of Ethiopia the Kebra Nagast,
to know the true splendor and greatness of kingshipChorusI said this one is the Glory, Glory of the Kings,
For the one’s that have lost their way.
Tell them about the Glory, Glory of the Kings,
Because, some don’t know themselves today.I come to tell about the Glory, Glory of the Kings,
For the one’s that have lost their way.
Tell them about the Glory, Glory of the Kings,
Because, some don’t know themselves today.I saidVerse 1To know the Kings Greatness,
Its not about his Wealthiness,
Or in his Royal Dress,
Because to know if he is rightfully blessed,
Kebra Nagast puts him through the process,
Many qualities he must possess,
Like Righteousness, and Humbleness, so oh !He has to have Godliness,
And don’t Transgress,
To lead his people in Justice,
And in time of Conflict,
Has to have much Courage,
Yet still he has to be the humblest,
That’s the Kings greatness,
So hear the Lou Tenant,
I come to sing, wo yoy !Chorus & Verse 2Remember King David, because of Righteousness,
(1 sam 17:20-52)
He was chosen for Rulership, !
Remember King Solomon,
For his wisdom,
Thats why he was chosen,
(1 kings 4:29-31)An father Abraham
Showed pure devotion
When he was to sacrifice his sonRemember God’s covenant
To his descendants
That they shall reap inheritanceAnd holy mount zion
Shall be with his children
Until the end of creation
An the world shall see
The root of Jesse
Shall sprout up from the royal family
And shall be as a Signal (ensign)
To the last discipleWhen the king bares the title
King of King and the Lord of Lords An the conquering Lion!!!Chorus x 2The End[/su_spoiler]Adinkra Symbol
