[00:24.93]I'm about to lose my mind
[00:28.52]You've been gone for so long, I'm runnin' outta time
[00:35.43]I need a doctor, call me a doctor
[00:41.52]I need a doctor, doctor to bring me back to life
[00:49.09]
[00:49.43]I told the world one day I would pay it back
[00:51.61]Say it on tape, and lay it, record it so that one day I could play it back
[00:55.47]But I don't even know if I believe it when I'm sayin' that
[00:58.38]Doubts startin' to creep in, everyday it's just so grey and black
[01:01.77]Hope, I just need a ray of that, cause no one sees my vision
[01:04.59]When I play it for 'em, they just say it's wack, they don't know what dope is
[01:07.78]And I don't know if I was awake or asleep when I wrote this
[01:10.68]All I know is you came to me when I was at my lowest
[01:13.97]You picked me up, breathed new life in me, I owe my life to you
[01:16.75]But for the life of me, I don't see why you don't see like I do
[01:19.89]But it just dawned on me you lost a son, demons fighting you, it's dark
[01:23.37]Let me turn on the lights and brighten me and enlighten you
[01:26.23]I don't think you realise what you mean to me, not the slightest clue
[01:29.25]Cause me and you were like a crew, I was like your sidekick
[01:32.13]You gon either wanna fight me when I get off this fuckin' mic
[01:34.90]Or you gon' hug me, but I'm outta options, there's nothin' else I can do cause
[01:38.57]I'm about to lose my mind
[01:42.41]You've been gone for so long, I'm runnin' outta time
[01:49.30]I need a doctor, call me a doctor
[01:55.49]I need a doctor, doctor to bring me back to life
[02:03.30]It hurts when I see you struggle, you come to me with ideas
[02:06.25]You say they're just pieces, so I'm puzzled, cause the shit I hear is crazy
[02:09.81]But you're either gettin' lazy or you don't believe in you no more
[02:13.13]Seems like your own opinions, not one you can form
[02:15.30]Can't make a decision you keep questionin' yourself
[02:18.18]Second guessin' and it's almost like your beggin' for my help
[02:21.12]Like I'm your leader, you're supposed to fuckin' be my mentor
[02:24.35]I can endure no more I demand you remember who you are
[02:27.69]It was YOU, who believed in me when everyone was tellin'
[02:30.36]You don't sign me, everyone at the fuckin' label, let's tell the truth
[02:33.92]You risked your career for me, I know it as well as you
[02:37.01]Nobody wanted to fuck with the white boy, Dre, I'm cryin' in this booth
[02:40.36]You saved my life, now maybe it's my turn to save yours
[02:43.14]But I can never repay you, what you did for me is way more
[02:46.26]But I ain't givin' up faith and you ain't givin' up on me
[02:49.37]Get up Dre I'm dyin', I need you, come back for fuck's sake
[02:52.68]I'm about to lose my mind
[02:56.29]You've been gone for so long, I'm runnin' outta time
[03:03.09]I need a doctor, call me a doctor
[03:09.43]I need a doctor, doctor to bring me back to life
[03:20.20]bring me back to life, bring me back to life,
[03:33.89]I need (a doctor, doctor to bring me back to life)
[03:41.58]It literally feels like a lifetime ago
[03:44.17]But I still remember the shit like it was just yesterday, though
[03:47.26]You walked in, yellow jump suit, whole room, cracked jokes
[03:50.97]Once you got inside the booth, told you, mic smoke
[03:53.98]Went through friends, some of them I put on, but they just left
[03:57.10]They said they was ridin' to the death, but where the fuck are they now?
[04:00.50]Now that I need them, I don't see none of them
[04:01.68]All I see is Slim, fuck all you fair-weather friends, all I need is him
[04:06.20]Fuckin' backstabbers, when the chips were down you just laughed at us
[04:09.35]Now you bout to feel the fuckin' wrath of Aftermath, faggots
[04:13.00]You gon' see us in our lab jackets and ask us where the fuck we been?
[04:16.46]You can kiss my indecisive ass crack, maggots
[04:19.04]And the crackers' ass, little crack a jack beat
[04:21.68]Makin' wack math, backwards producers, I'm back bastards
[04:24.83]One more CD and then I'm packin' up my bags and as I'm leavin'
[04:28.30]I'll guarantee they scream, "Dre, don't leave us like that man!" cause
[04:31.04]I'm about to lose my mind
[04:34.74]You've been gone for so long, I'm runnin' outta time
[04:41.65]I need a doctor, call me a doctor
[04:47.82]I need a doctor, doctor to bring me back to life
