[Chorus]   No matter where I go    I'm lettin' people know    No matter where you go the grass is always green   No matter what you say    You gotta' release the chains    I think it's time I set my spirit free      [Verse 1]   No matter where I go    I'm lettin' people know    That the pace is never stalling    Even if the sky is falling    I'll never be afraid    As long as I keep my faith    Even if I am still crawling    Won't be mad 'cause some are balling    But man without the trust, without the loyalty   When you watch your dog just starving    Don't get mad when they start barkin'    Here's a suggestion man    Why don't we just wash our hands    'Cause I'm peepin' other pastures    I think it's time I'm my own master.       [Chorus]   No matter where I go    I'm lettin' people know    No matter where you go the grass is always green   No matter what you say    You gotta' release the chains    I think it's time I set my spirit free      [Verse 2]   Long ago I told my homie    Some people are so damn phony   Sure as the wind blows   They'll try to take your dough   On and on man they just keep comin'    'Til I'm dead man I'm never runnin'    Fear I just don't know    If it's your time you gotta' go    But what about the trust what about the loyalty   When the have no respect for you    It's fuck 'em or call your lawyer    Here's a suggestion man    Why don't' we just wash our hands    'Cause I'm peepin' other pastures    I think it's time I'm my own master.      [Chorus]   No matter where I go    I'm lettin' people know    No matter where you go the grass is always green   No matter what you say    You gotta' release the chains    I think it's time I set my spirit free      [Bridge]   Here's to my family    Here's to the ones I really love    Here's to the inmates    And that's who made Death Row #1   Here's to the foundation    And that's where, where it started from    Here's to real freedom   They tell me makin' music's fun    When you got no shackles on your feet      [Chorus]   No matter where I go    I'm lettin' people know    No matter where you go the grass is always green   No matter what you say    You gotta' release the chains    I think it's time I set my spirit free
