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

I'm about to lose my mind

You've been gone for so long

I'm runnin' 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 sayin' that

Doubts startin' to creep in, every day 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

But for 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, demons fightin' 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 were like a crew, I was like your sidekick

You gon' either wanna fight when I get off this fuckin' mic

Or you gon' hug me, but I'm out of options

There's nothin' else I can do 'cause

I'm about to lose my mind

You've been gone for so long

I'm runnin' 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 they're just pieces, so I'm puzzled

'Cause the shit I hear is crazy

But you're either gettin' 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 questionin' yourself

Second guessin' and it's almost like you're beggin' for my help

Like I'm your leader, you're supposed to fuckin' 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 tellin' you don't sign me

Everyone at the fuckin' 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 cryin' in this booth

You saved my life, now maybe it's my turn to save yours

But I can never repay you, what you did for me is way more

But I ain't givin' up faith and you ain't givin' up on me

Get up Dre, I'm dyin', I need you, come back for fuck's sake, 'cause

I'm about to lose my mind

You've been gone for so long

I'm runnin' 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, mic smoke

Went through friends, some of 'em I put on but they just left

They said they was ridin' 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 fairweather friends, all I need is him

Fuckin' backstabbers, when the chips were down, you just laughed at us

Now you 'bout to feel the fuckin' 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, lil' cracker jack beat

Makin' wack math, backwards producers, I'm back, bastards

One more CD and then I'm packin' up my bags

And as I'm leavin', 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 runnin' out of time

I need a doctor, call me a doctor

I need a doctor, doctor to bring me back to life
