(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
