Bob Marley had an assassination attempt on him and one of his songs (Iron Lion Zion) he talks about running away to save his life and he says: “I’m gonna be Iron like a Lion in Zion”. Basically meaning, “I’m going to be strong like a Lion (lion of judah: Haile Selassie I) in Zion (the promised land)”.
Peter Tosh’s song is basically a modern day “diss track”. He basically called out Marley, saying he’s not a true Rastafarian. He says: “You talkin’ about lion, iron, but you can’t go to zion”. He can be like a Lion & Iron (strong like Haile Selassie I) but he won’t ever go to Zion (the promised land).

This piece means a lot more now! I’m glad I asked, as the story behind the design gives it much more depth and meaning! Really thinking about buying this now…
