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 starting to creep in, every day is 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
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 f***ing 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 so I'm puzzled 'Cause the s**t I hear is crazy
But you're either getting lazy or you don't believe in you no more
seems like your own opinion's not one you conform
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 f***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 f***ing label, let's tell the truth
you risked your career for me I know it as well as you
nobody wanted to f**k 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 and you ain't giving up on me
Get up Dre, I'm dying, I need you, come back for f**k'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 this s**t 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 f**k are they now? now that I need them, I don't see none of
them all I see is Slim
f**k all you fair-weather friends all I need is him
f***ing backstabbers when the chips were down you just laughed
at us Now you 'bout to feel the f***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 *** crack, maggots,
and the cracker's *** Little Cracker Jack, beat-making wack-***
backwards producers I'm back, ***
one more CD and then I'm packing up my bags and as I'm leaving
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
