Lyrics:
(chorus)
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
(verse 1 - Em)
I told the world, one day I would pay it back
say it on tape and let 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's starting to creep in everyday / it's just so ? (fray / grey) and black
hope - I just need a ray of that...
cuz' 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 low-est!
you picked me up, breathed new life in me / I owe my life to you
but for the life of me, I don't see why you don't see why I do
but it just dawned on me - you lost a son
D that's why it's dark / that's ? it's dark
let me turn on the lights and ? and enlighten you
I don't think you realize what you mean to me / not the slightest clue
cuz' me and you were like a crew / I was like your side-kick
you gon' either wanna fight when I get off this ****ing mic...
or you gon' hug me - but I'm out of options, there's nothing else I can do cuz...
(chorus)
(verse 2 - Em)
It hurts when I see you struggle - you come to me with ideas
you say they just pieces so I'm puzzled / cuz 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 opinion's not one you can form
can't make a decision / you keep questioning yourself
second-guessing and it's almost like your begging for my help
like I'm your leader / you're supposed to ****ing be my mentor
I can endure - no more - ? the man you remember who you are!
it was YOU who believed in ME / when everyone was telling you don't sign me
everyone at the ****ing label - let's tell the truth!
you risked your career for me / I know it as well as you
nobody wanted to **** with the white-boy / Dre I'm crying in this booth!
you saved my life, now maybe it's my turn to save yours'
but I can never repay you cuz' 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 ****'s sake!
(chorus)
(verse 3 - Dre)
It clearly like a lifetime ago
but I still remember the shit like it was just yesterday though
you walked in - yellow jumpsuit, ?, cracked jokes
once you got inside the booth / ? you ? smoke
? friends - some of em' I put on / but they just left...
they said they was riding till' the death...
but where the **** are they now?
now that I need them - I don't see none of em' / all I see is Slim
**** all you fare-weather friends / all I need is him!
****ing back-stabbers
when the chips were down / you just laughed at us
now you bout to feel the ****ing wrath of Aftermath faggots
you gon' see us in our lab jackets and ask where the **** we bin?
you can kiss my indecisive ass-crack, maggots
and the cracker's ass / lil crack-a-jack beat-making wack-ass backwards producers
I'm back bastards!
one more CD and then I'm packing-up my bags
And as I'm leaving I guarantee they'll scream - Dre don't leave us like that man cuz
(chorus)
