Estrofe 1
G D
As I remember
Bm
It was four hundred years
F# Bm Gm
or more
D Em G
Since you came to crucify
D Bm
And they were taken far
away from home
Bbdim Gm D Bm D
There were promises of paradise
Asus4 A Bm
But if they had been told that day
Bbdim
That they would be sold that this way
Gm D Em D
To satisfy the souls of chosen men
Bm
See I had to look carefully
A#
At the shame of my ancestry
D A D Asus4
To redefine the storyline again
G
If I was
Estrofe 2
Am
taken for a day
Asus4 Gm
And shown another way
C#m
Now every child can learn
C# Fm C# A
a different thing
Am
See I tried a million times
A# Gm Dm
But I had to change my mind
Cm
Sadness was the best thing
C#m A D
I could bring
Bm A Asus4
On the inside he was dead
Gm
and this is what he said
C#m
As he took away the blue
C# Fm F#m
above the clouds
A Asus4 Am G Gm
Superi ority was clearly meant to be
Cm Dbm
So destiny will manifest in time.

Cm Bm Bb Bm G
So where has the love all gone
Gm Em Bm D G D
A troubled trail of tears will tell the tale
Bm
Of how I was put down
A#
where I don't belong
Gm D Bm D
Woman, child and man for sale
Bm A#
For ethical slavery is just an absurdity
A D Em
How can you be alive when
D G Asus4
you are dead
A Bm
With these chains of hypocrisy
A#aug A#dim Gm
The shame of my ancestry
D Bm
Forever stained by blood
D Asus4 A
in which you tread.
Estrofe 4

Jamiroquai gravou Manifest Destiny em 1993 e 1994, durante a gravação do seu segundo álbum. A música foi lançada em 1994, dentro de The Return of the Space Cowboy, um disco que teve bastante sucesso. A banda gravou em estúdios de Londres, e a música foi escrita quando Jay Kay leu um livro sobre a história dos nativos americanos. A letra fala sobre a injustiça que sofreram, e a música tem um toque de bronze e cordas. A música destacou-se por seu ritmo suave e uma introdução com instrumentos que lhe dão um toque especial. É uma das músicas mais conhecidas do álbum, e continua sendo popular em festivais e concertos.
