I'm about to lose my mind
youve been gone for so long
Im 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 dont even know if I believe it when Im saying that
Doubt startin to creep in, everyday its just so grey and black
cause no one sees my vision when I play it for em
they just say its wack
but they dont know what dope is
and I dont 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
I owe my life to you
before the life of me, I dont see why you dont see like I do
but it just dawned on me you lost a son
Demon's fightin' you, its dark.
let me turn on the lights and brighten me and enlighten you
I dont 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 f-cking mic
or you gon hug me
but Im out of options, theres nothing else I can do cause
Im about to lose my mind
youve been gone for so long
Im 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 Im puzzled
cause the shit i hear is crazy
seems like your own opinions, not one you can form
cant make a decision you keep questioning yourself
second guessing and its almost like your begging for my help
like Im YOUR leader
you're susposed to f-cking be my mentor
I can endure no more,
I demand you remember who you are
when everyone was telling you dont sign me
everyone at the f-cking label, lets tell the truth
you risked your career for me
I know it as well as you
nobody wanted to f-ck with the white boy
you saved my life, now maybe its my time to save yours
but I can never repay you, what you did for me is way more
but I aint giving up faith and you aint giving up on me
get up Dre, Im dying, I need you, come back for f-cks sake
Im about to lose my mind
youve been gone for so long
Im 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 was riding to the death
but where the f-ck are they now
now that I need them, I dont see none of them
all I see is Slim
f-ck all you fair-weather friends
all I need is him
f-cking backstabbers
when the chips were down you just laughed at us
now you bout to feel the f-cking wrath of aftermath, faggots
you can kiss my indecisive ass crack maggots and the crackers ass
little crack a jack beat making wack math,
backwards producers, Im back bastards
one more CD and then Im packing up my bags and as Im leave
And I guarantee they'll scream Dre dont leave us like that man cause
Im about to lose my mind
youve been gone for so long
Im running out of time
I need a doctor
call me a doctor
I need a doctor, doctor
to bring me back to life
hope, I just need a ray of that
