Tekst piosenki 'I Need a Doctor (feat. Eminem & Skylar Grey)' wykonawcy Dr. Dre

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
