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 **** 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 ******-g 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 **** 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 ******-g 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 ******-g label, let's 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, 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 f*ck’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 **** 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*ck are they now?
Now that I need them, I don't see none of them
All I see is Slim, f*ck all you fair-weather friends, all I need is him
******-g backstabbers, when the chips were down you just laughed at us
Now you ‘bout to feel the ******-g wrath of aftermath, faggots
You gon' see us in our lab jackets and ask us where the f*ck 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
