I Need a Doctor - Dr. Dre

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'll repay it back
say it on tape and lay it recording so that one day I can play it back
but I don't even know if I believe it when I'm saying that
doubt's starting to creep in, the big day is just so gray and black
hope, I just need a ray of that, cause no one seeks my vision
when I play it for 'em they just say it's wack
but they don't know what ******* 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, breeding life in me
I owe my life to you, before 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 see this light in 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 when I get off this ******* mic, or you gon' hug me
but I'm out of options there's nothing else I can do, 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

It hurts, when I see you struggle, you come to me with ideas
you say they're just pieces of a puzzle, cause the *******t I hear is
crazy but you either getting lazy or you don't believe in you no more
seems like your own opinion's not one you can form
can't make a decision, you keep questioning yourself
second guessing, and it's almost like you're begging for my help
like I'm your leader, you're supposed to ******* 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 ******* 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 live now maybe it's my turn to save yours
but I could never repay you, what you did for me is way more
but I ain't giving up faith, and you ain't giving up on me
GET UP DRE, I'M DYING, I NEED YOU, COME BACK FOR *******'S SAKE

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 this *******t like it was just yesterday, though
you walked in, yellow jump suit, whole room, crack jokes,
once you got inside the booth, told you, like smoke,
went through freiends some of 'em 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
******* backstabbers, when the chips were down you just laughed at us
now you're about to feel the ******* wrath of Aftermath *******s
you gon' see us in our lab jackets and ask where the ******* we've been
you can kiss my indecisive ass, crap,
maggots in the cracker's ass, little cracker Jack
beat making wack math backwards producers,I'm bac bastards
one more CD and then I'm packing up my bags
and as I'm leaving I'll guarantee they'll scream
Dre don't leave us, like that the 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
