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
Doubt 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
But they don't know what dope 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
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
we're like a crew
I was like your sidekick
You gon' either wanna fight
when I get off this fucking 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 that these are 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 guessing
and it's almost
like your begging for my help
Like I'm YOUR leader
You're supposed to fucking
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 fucking label
lets tell the truth
You risked your career for me
I know it as well as you
Nobody wanted to fuck
with the white boy
Dre I'm crying in this booth
You saved my life now maybe
it's my time to save yours
But I can 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 fuck'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 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 fuck are they now
Now that I need them
I don't see none of them
All I see is Slim
Fuck all you fairweather friends
All I need is him
Fucking backstabbers
When the chips were down
you just laughed at us
Now you bout to feel the fucking
wrath of aftermath faggots
You gon' see us in our lab jackets
and ask where the fuck 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 leave
And I guarantee they'll scream
Dre don't leave us like that man
cause
Im 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
