Jamiroquai - Manifest Destiny Lyrics
Written by jay kay and toby smithFour hundred years or moreSince you came to crucifyThey were taken far away from homeThere were promises of paradiseBut if they had been told that dayThey would be told that this wayTo satisfy the souls of chosen manSee I had to look carefullyAt the shame of my ancestryTo redefine the storyline againIf I was taken for a dayAnd shown another dayEvery child can learn a different thingSee I tried a million timesBut I had to change my mindSadness was the best thing I could bringOn the inside he was dead and this is what he saidAs he took away the blue above the cloudsOh, superiority was clearly meant to beSo destiny will manifest in timeSo where has all the love gone?A troubled trail of tears will tell the taleOf how I was put down where I dont belongWoman, child and man for saleFor ethical slavery is just an absurdityHow can you be alive when you are deadWith these chains of hipocrisyThe shame of my ancestryForever strained in blood in which you tread(repeat chorus)
