Waiting For The End/I Need A Doctor

I told the world one day I would pay it back

Say it on tape, and lay it, record it so that one day I could play it back

But I don't even know if I believe it when I'm sayin' that

Doubts startin' to creep in, everyday it's just so grey and black

Hope, I just need a ray of that, cause no one sees my vision

When I play it for 'em, they just say it's wack, they don't know what shit is

And I don't know if I was awake or asleep when I wrote this

All I know is you came to me when I was at my lowest

You picked me up, breathed new life in me, I owe my life to you

But for the life of me, I don't see why you don't see like I do

But it just dawned on me you lost a son, demons fighting you, it's dark

Let me turn on the lights and brighten me and enlighten you

I don't think you realise what you mean to me, not the slightest clue

Cause me and you were like a crew, I was like your sidekick

Waiting For The End/I Need A Doctor, You gon either wanna fight me when I get off this ****ing mic

Or you gon' hug me, but I'm outta options, there's nothin' else I can do cause

Waiting for the end to come

Wi*******ng I had strength to stand

This is not what I had planned

It's out of my control

Flying at the speed of light

Thoughts were spinning in my head

So many things were left unsaid

It's hard to let you go

I know what it takes to move on

I know how it feels to lie

All I wanna do is trade this life for something new

Holding on to what I haven't got

It hurts when I see you struggle, you come to me with ideas

Waiting For The End/I Need A Doctor, You say they're just pieces, so I'm puzzled, cause the shit I hear is crazy

But you're either gettin' lazy or you don't believe in you no more

Seems like your own opinions, not one you can form

Can't make a decision you keep questionin' yourself

Second guessin' and it's almost like your beggin' for my help

Waiting For The End/I Need A Doctor, Like I'm your leader, you're supposed to ****ing be my mentor

I can endure no more I demand you remember who you are

It was YOU, who believed in me when everyone was tellin'

Waiting For The End/I Need A Doctor, You don't sign me, everyone at the ****ing label, let's tell the truth

You risked your career for me, I know it as well as you

Waiting For The End/I Need A Doctor, Nobody wanted to **** with the white boy, Dre, I'm cryin' in this booth

You saved my life, now maybe it's my turn to save yours

But I can never repay you, what you did for me is way more

But I ain't givin' up faith and you ain't givin' up on me

Waiting For The End/I Need A Doctor, Get up Dre I'm dyin', I need you, come back for ****'s sake

I know what it takes to move on

I know how it feels to lie

All I wanna do is trade this life for something new

Holding on to what I haven't got

Yo yo what was that when I thought it was done?

I thought it felt right, but the right was wrong

All caught up in the eye of the storm

And trying to figure out what it's like moving on

And I don't even know what kind of things I said

My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead

So picking up the pieces now where to begin

The hardest part of that is starting again

All I wanna do is trade this life for something new

Holding on to what I haven't got

This is not the end, this is not the beginning

Just a voice like a riot rocking every remission

Once you listen to the tone in a violent rhythm

And all the words sound steady, so nobody forget 'em

Say yeah with fists flying up in the air

Like we're holding onto something that's invisible there

Cuz we're living at the mercy of the painted riviere

Until we get it, forget it, let it all disappear
