Nate Dogg: "I Think It's Time I Set My Spirit Free"

Thinking about the spirit of Nate Dogg (singer, Dogg Pound member, Nathaniel Hale) and what his energy on this earth reflected to the world from birth to death (1969-2011). “I Think It’s Time I Set My Spirit Free” are lyrics from his song “No Matter Where I Go”. Connecting with this particular song is a wonderful connection to honor his spirit.

Your energy is your life force. It is your power, your spirit. It is the survival intuition with which all of us are born. It is your sexuality, your creativity, your self-esteem. It is your will and your mind and it is your ability to receive guidance, whether from a divine source of God or from a trust in a creative universal mind. Nate Dogg’s spirit is free to live on through all of his music and contributions to the hip hop culture – - -

No Matter Where I Go – Lyrics

[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.

[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.

[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
