I need a doctor

I'm about to lose my mind

You’ve been gone for so long

I'm running out of time

I need a doctor, call me a doctor

I need a doctor, doctor. To bring me back to life

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 saying that

Y'all starting to creep in, everyday its so gray and black

Hope, I just need a ray of that, 'cause no one see's my vision

When I play it for ‘em, they just say it's wack, but 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 realize what you mean to me, not the slightest clue

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

You gon' either wanna fight me when I get off this ****ing mic

I'm about to lose my mind

You’ve been gone for so long

I’m running out of time

I need a doctor, call me a doctor

I need a doctor, doctor. To bring me back to life

It hurts when I see you struggle

You come to me with ideas

You say they're just pieces, so I’m puzzled

'Cause the shit I hear is crazy

But you're either getting 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 questioning yourself

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

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 telling

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

Nobody wanted to **** with the white boy, Dre, I’m crying 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 giving up faith

Get up Dre I'm dying, I need you, come back for ****’s sake, 'cause

I'm about to lose my mind

You’ve been gone for so long

I’m running out of time

I need a doctor, call me a doctor

I need a doctor, doctor. To bring me back to life

Bring me back to life

Bring me back to life

I need a doctor, doctor. To bring me back to life

It literally feels like a lifetime ago

But I still remember the shit like it was just yesterday, though

You walked in, yellow jump suit

Whole room, cracked jokes

Once you got inside the booth, told you, like smoke

Went through friends, some of them I put on

But they just left

They said they was riding to the death, but where the **** are they now?

Now that I need them, I don't see none of them

All I see is Slim, **** all you fair-weather friends, all I need is him

****ing backstabbers, when the chips were down you just laughed at us

Now you ‘bout to feel the ****ing wrath of aftermath, faggots

You gon' see us in our lab jackets and ask us where the **** we been?

You can kiss my indecisive ass crack, maggots and the crackers' ass, little cracker jack beat

Making wack math, backwards producers, I'm back bastards

One more CD and then I’m packing up my bags and as I’m leavin'

I’ll guarantee they scream, "Dre, don’t leave us like that man!" 'cause

I'm about to lose my mind

You’ve been gone for so long

I’m running out of time

I need a doctor, call me a doctor

I need a doctor, doctor.

To bring me back to life
