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
DOUBT STARTIN' TO CREEP IN
EVERY DAY IS JUST
SO GREY 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 WHACK
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 REALISE
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 F####N' 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 S##T
I HEAR IS CRAZY
BUT YOU'RE EITHER GETTIN' LAZY
OR YOU DON'T BELIEVE
IN YOU NO MORE
SEEMS LIKE YOUR OWN OPINION'S
NOT ONE YOU CONFORM
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
F####N' 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 F####N' LABEL
LET'S TELL THE TRUTH
YOU RISKED
YOUR CAREER FOR ME
I KNOW IT AS WELL AS YOU
NOBODY WANTED TO F##K
WITH THE WHITE BOY TRAMP
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 F##K'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...
IT LITERALLY FEELS
LIKE A LIFETIME AGO
BUT I STILL
REMEMBER THE S##T
LIKE IT WAS
JUST YESTERDAY, THOUGH
YOU WALKED IN
YELLOW JUMP SUIT
WHOLE ROOM, CRACKED JOKES
ONCE YOU GOT INSIDE THE BOOTH
I TOLD YOU, LIKE SMOKE
WENT THROUGH FRIENDS
SOME OF THEM I PUT ON
BUT THEY JUST LEFT
THEY SAID THEY WAS
RIDIN' TO THE DEATH
BUT WHERE THE
F##K ARE THEY NOW
NOW THAT I NEED THEM
I DON'T SEE NONE OF THEM
ALL I SEE IS SLIM
F##K ALL YOU
FAIR-WEATHER FRIENDS
ALL I NEED IS HIM
F####N' BACK-STABBERS
WHEN THE CHIPS WERE DOWN
YOU JUST LAUGHED AT US
NOW YOU 'BOUT TO FEEL
THE F####N' WRATH OF
AFTERMATH, F####TS
YOU GON' SEE US
IN OUR LAB JACKETS
AND ASK
WHERE THE F##K WE BEEN
YOU CAN KISS MY INDECISIVE
ASS CRACK, MAGGOTS
AND THE CRACKER'S ASS
LITTLE CRACKER JACK
BEAT-MAKIN' WHACK-ASS
BACKWARDS PRODUCERS
I'M BACK, B#####DS
ONE MORE C.D. AND THEN
I'M PACKIN' UP MY BAGS
AND AS I'M LEAVIN'
I'LL GUARANTEE THEY 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...
