I Need a Doctor (feat. Eminem & Skylar Grey)

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 gray 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 you're 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, let's 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 jumpsuit

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 fuck are they now, now that I need them?

I don't see none of them, all I see is Slim

Fuck all you fair weather 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

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
