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 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. 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 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 f**k '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. 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 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 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
