lyrics
I’m about to lose my mind
I'm on the verge of losing my will.
You’ve been gone for so long
You've been gone too long.
I’m running out of time
My time is running out.
I need a doctor
I need a doctor.
Call me a doctor
Call a doctor for me
I need a doctor, doctor
I need a doctor, doctor.
To bring me back to life
To bring me back to life
I told the world one day I would pay it back
I told the world that one day I would return all I had suffered.
Say it on tape, and lay it, record it
Say it on tape, write it down, and record the words.
So that one day I could play it back
So I can play it again one day.
But I don’t even know if I believe it when i'm saying that
But I don't even know if I will believe that I said this.
ya'll startin' to creep in, everyday it’s just so grey and black
Since they came into my life, the days have been so gloomy and gloomy.
Hope,I just need a ray of that
Looking forward to it, all I need is a glimmer of light in my life.
’Cause no one see's my vision when I play it for ‘em
Because none of them can understand the meaning of my song.
They just say it’s wack
They just said it was bad.
But they don’t know what dope is
They don't even know what cool is.
And I don’t know if I was awake or asleep,When I wrote this
When I wrote the lyrics, I didn't even know whether I was awake or asleep.
All I know is you came to me when I was at my lowest
All I know is that you came to me at the bottom of my life.
You picked me up, breathed new life in me
You pulled me out of the trough and gave me a new life.
I owe my life to you
I owe you my life!
Before the life of me, I don't see why you don't see like I do
Before, I didn't understand why you were different from what I saw.
But it just dawned on me you lost a son
I understood when I learned that you had lost your child.
Demon's fightin' you. it’s dark. Let me turn on the lights and brighten me and enlighten you
You're fighting demons. It's too dark around. Let me light up the lights, light up me and light up you.
I dont think you realise what you mean to me
I don't think you understand how important you are to me.
Not the slightest clue
not at all
‘Cause me and you were like a crew
We are together.
I was like your sidekick
I am your close comrade-in-arms
You’ll either wanna fight when I get off this f-cking mic
You might hit me when I put down this damn microphone.
Or you're gonna hug me
Or hug me heartily
But I’m out of option, there‘s nothing else I can do ‘cause…
But I have no choice. I'm at the end of my rope, because
I’m about to lose my mind
I'm on the verge of losing my will.
You’ve been gone for so long
You've been gone too long.
I’m running out of time
My time is running out.
I need a doctor
I need a doctor.
Call me a doctor
Help me find a doctor.
I need a doctor, doctor
I need a doctor, doctor.
To bring me back to life
To bring me back to life
It hurts when I see you struggle
I'm sorry to see you struggling.
You come to me with ideas
You have inspired me a lot.
You say there just pieces so I’m puzzled
you said
’Cause the shit I hear is crazy
You have no idea how awesome you are.
But your either getting lazy or you don’t believe in you no more
But you have also become self-destructive and no longer believe in yourself.
Seems like your own opinions, no one you can form
It seems that you can't make your own decision, and even a decision can't take shape.
Can't make a decision you keep questioning yourself
Unable to make a decision, you constantly doubt yourself.
Second guessing and it‘s almost like your begging for my help
Suspicion over and over again, you almost seem to beg for my help.
Like I’m your leader
As if I were your leader.
You’re supposed to f-cking be my mentor
You should be my fucking mentor!
I can endure no more,
I can't stand it any longer.
I demand you remember who you are
I ask you to remember who you are!
It was YOU, who believed in me
That's you, the one who firmly trusts me.
When everyone was telling you don‘t sign me
When people tell you not to sign me.
Everyone at the f-cking label
At that time, everyone in the record company said so.
Let's tell the truth,You risked your career for me
But in fact, for me, you gambled all your career.
I know it as well as you
I know this as well as you do.
Nobody wanted to f-ck with the white boy
Nobody hangs a white man in this industry.
Dre I’m crying in this booth
Derek, I'm shouting in this dark room.
You saved my life, now maybe it’s my turn to save yours
You saved my life, and now it may be my turn to save yours.
But I can never repay you what you did for me is way more
But I can't repay you for your kindness no matter what, because you have done more for me.
But I ain‘t giving up faith and you ain’t giving up on me
But I won't give up my faith, and you won't give up on me.
Get up Dre, I’m dying I need you, come back for f-cks sake
Cheer up, Derek. I'm dying. I need you. Come back for this.
I’m about to lose my mind
I'm on the verge of losing my will.
You’ve been gone for so long
You've been gone too long.
I’m running out of time
My time is running out.
I need a doctor
I need a doctor.
Call me a doctor
Help me find a doctor.
I need a doctor, doctor
I need a doctor, doctor.
To bring me back to life
To bring me back to life
It literally feels like a lifetime ago
It feels like a lifetime.
But I still remember the shit like it was just yesterday though
But I still feel as if it happened yesterday.
You walked in, yellow jump suit
You came in, dressed in a yellow jumpsuit
Whole room, cracked jokes
The whole room, everyone is teasing your skin color.
Once you got inside the booth, told you, like smoke
Once you step into the studio, as I told you, your rap is murderous.
Went through friends, some of them I put on
Some of those friends who passed by pretended to be me.
But they just left, they said they was riding to a death
But they left. They said they would go through fire and water for me.
But where the f-ck are they now
But where the hell are they now?
Now that I need them I dont see none of them
Now I need them, but I can't find anyone.
All I see is Slim
I only saw Slim.
F-ck all you fair-weather friends
Fuck these fair-weather friends
All I need is him
I just need him.
F-cking backstabbers
Fuck these little people behind the scenes
When the chips were down you just laughed at us
When something happened to us, you just laughed at us.
Now you about to feel the f-cking wrath of aftermath, faggots
Now you birds are going to taste the consequences of my rage, trash
You gon see us in our lab jackets and ask us where the f-ck we been?
You will see us back in the studio and ask what we did before.
You can kiss my indecisive ass crack maggots and the crackers ass
You can kiss my ass and kiss Eminem's ass.
Little cracker jack beat making wack math,
You laughed at Eminem as cookie boy.
Backwards producers, Im back bastards
Behind the scenes, I'm back.
One more CD and then I’m packing up my bags and as I’m leaving
One more CD and I'll pack my bags and get out of here.
And I guarantee they'll scream Dre don’t leave us like that man ‘cause…
I'm sure they will shout, Derek, don't leave us like that man, because ... ...
I’m about to lose my mind
I'm on the verge of losing my will.
You’ve been gone for so long
You've been gone so long.
I’m running out of time
My time is running out.
I need a doctor
I need a doctor.
Call me a doctor
Help bring me back to life.
I need a doctor, doctor
I need a doctor.
To bring me back to life
Get me back on track with my life.
To bring me back to life
Give me a new life
