[00:00.16]I told the world one day I would pay it back
[00:02.87]Say it on tape, and lay it, record it so that one day I could play it back
[00:06.74]But I don’t even know if I believe it when I’m sayin' that
[00:09.83]Doubts startin' to creep in, every day it's just so grey and black
[00:12.92]Hope, I just need a ray of that, 'cause no one sees my vision
[00:16.12]When I play it for ‘em, they just say it's wack, but they don’t know what dope is
[00:19.12]And I don’t know if I was awake or asleep when I wrote this
[00:22.10]All I know is you came to me when I was at my lowest
[00:25.01]You picked me up, breathed new life in me, I owe my life to you
[00:28.10]But for the life of me, I don't see why you don't see like I do
[00:31.25]But it just dawned on me you lost a son, demons fighting you, it’s dark
[00:34.86]Let me turn on the lights and brighten me and enlighten you
[00:37.40]I don't think you realize what you mean to me, not the slightest clue
[00:40.41]'Cause me and you were like a crew, I was like your sidekick
[00:43.50]You gon' either wanna fight when I get off this fuckin' mic
[00:46.39]Or you gon' hug me, but I'm outta options, there's nothin' else I can do 'cause
[00:49.52]I'm about to lose my mind
[00:53.74]You’ve been gone for so long
[00:56.13]I’m runnin' outta time
[01:00.45]I need a doctor, call me a doctor
[01:06.64]I need a doctor, doctor
[01:11.11]to bring me back to life
[01:14.05]It hurts when I see you struggle
[01:16.12]You come to me with ideas
[01:17.47]You say they're just pieces, so I’m puzzled
[01:19.65]'Cause the shit I hear is crazy
[01:21.31]But you're either gettin' lazy or you don’t believe in you no more
[01:23.57]Seems like your own opinions, not one you can form
[01:26.72]Can't make a decision you keep questionin' yourself
[01:29.20]Second guessin' and it's almost like your beggin' for my help
[01:32.35]Like I’m your leader
[01:33.72]You're supposed to fuckin' be my mentor
[01:35.70]I can endure no more I demand you remember who you are
[01:38.54]It was YOU, who believed in me when everyone was tellin'
[01:41.59]You don't sign me, everyone at the fuckin' label, let's tell the truth
[01:45.04]You risked your career for me
[01:46.86]I know it as well as you
[01:48.34]Nobody wanted to fuck with the white boy, Dre, I’m cryin' in this booth
[01:51.30]You saved my life, now maybe it's my turn to save yours
[01:54.15]But I can never repay you, what you did for me is way more
[01:57.29]But I ain't givin' up faith and you ain't givin' up on me
[02:00.20]Get up Dre I'm dyin', I need you, come back for fuck’s sake, 'cause
[02:03.23]I'm about to lose my mind
[02:07.20]You’ve been gone for so long
[02:09.88]I’m runnin' outta time
[02:13.99]I need a doctor, call me a doctor
[02:20.09]I need a doctor
[02:23.25]doctor to bring me back to life
[02:30.91]Bring me back to life
[02:36.92]Bring me back to life
[02:44.62](I need a doctor, doctor to bring me back to life)
[02:51.54]It literally feels like a lifetime ago
[02:54.94]But I still remember the shit like it was just yesterday, though
[02:58.28]You walked in, yellow jump suit
[03:00.18]Whole room, cracked jokes
[03:01.75]Once you got inside the booth, told you, mic smoke
[03:04.63]Went through friends, some of them I put on
[03:06.82]But they just left
[03:08.25]They said they was ridin' to the death, but where the fuck are they now?
[03:11.41]Now that I need them, I don't see none of them
[03:14.13]All I see is Slim, fuck all you fair-weather friends, all I need is him
[03:17.08]Fuckin' backstabbers, when the chips were down you just laughed at us
[03:20.62]Now you bout to feel the fuckin' wrath of Aftermath, faggots
[03:23.73]You gon' see us in our lab jackets and ask us where the fuck we been?
[03:27.49]You can kiss my indecisive ass crack, maggots and the crackers' ass, little cracker jack beat
[03:32.73]Makin' wack math, backwards producers, I'm back bastards
[03:36.14]One more CD and then I’m packin' up my bags and as I’m leavin'
[03:39.44]I’ll guarantee they scream, "Dre, don’t leave us like that man!" 'cause
[03:42.44]I'm about to lose my mind
[03:45.88]You’ve been gone for so long
[03:48.58]I’m runnin' outta time
[03:52.09]I need a doctor, call me a doctor
[03:58.74]I need a doctor
[04:01.59]doctor to bring me back to life
